At Clayton Yoga we truly believe in bringing yoga to the workplace. All the wonderful benefits of yoga can be yours even if you have no time to come to the studio. Corporate yoga programs give employees the option to take a class in their lunch break once or twice a week. Of course courses can be organized before or after work. It seems though that most of the companies take the lunch break option.
We set up a separate website just to cater to the needs of organizations looking to support their staff to manage stress and become healthier. Over at St. Louis Corporate Yoga we regularly post interesting articles about how yoga can serve the needs of the workforce. Below is a selection of the best articles from the St. Louis Corporate Yoga blog.
