Corporate Wellness Through Yoga
YC Yoga on the Go’s mission is that every being deserves the holistic benefits of yoga as a practical tool of empowerment, health, and physical fitness.
Yoga is a time-tested practice that cultivates boundless levels of energetic and physical fitness. Yoga for Life has designed a yoga program for the corporate employee. Corporate employees deserve the opportunity to reduce stress and tension AND become more physically, mentally and spiritual fit. It’s a busy world we live in today, with increasing demands on employers and employees alike. We work long hours, often hunched over a computer. We skip meals, keep a phone glued to our ear, and rarely leave our workspace for a break. Before long, these work habits begin to take their toll on our bodies and minds in the form of stress, tension and sickness. And while a mild amount of stress can help us meet deadlines, too much stress, or constant stress, can interfere with numerous physical and mental abilities. How we respond to stress can have a significant impact on our total health. Yoga can remove stress from the body and mind.
Description of Yoga Curriculum

Meditation, or focusing of the mind, serves yoga students by allowing them to practice self-control and determination. So much time in an individual’s life is spent struggling to juggle incoming calls, ideas, media, and general “background noise.” Learning to block these distractions for a short period of time can be powerful; however transferring this ability to a multitude of life scenarios is most practical and beneficial.
>>>Gong Relaxation

Kundalini Yoga uses exercise, sound current, breath, and meditation. It relaxes and heals the mind and body, allowing energy to flow more freely. This, in turn, brings about a greater feeling of well being and happiness—our natural birthright as humans. This powerful and effective form of Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, Ph. D., Master of Kundalini Yoga, is a historically proven method for recharging the body and mind.
