Bring Yoga to Your Team

create an inspired workplace

Your employees are your biggest asset. Helping them stay healthy and whole should be your number ONE priority. Offering yoga within your corporate environment enables employees to make time during their hectic schedule to relax, re-energize and enjoy the many health benefits of yoga, movement and conscious breathing. It also enables your company to benefit from the innovation and productivity that comes from happy, healthy teams.

I understand the nuances of offering yoga in a corporate setting. Let me partner with you to integrate yoga into your wellness program.

I’ll tailor a virtual-based program to fit your unique needs. Available to employees in every geographic location, the classes can be attended live or via recording. You can set up a location in your office locations for employees to gather, or have them attend in their own office space. I can provide mindfulness and wellness information for use on internal company websites to increase engagement.

WHY YOGA?

Benefits & Outcomes

Improve Health

Yoga offers a wide range of health benefits. It helps people increase their flexibility, improve circulation and lower blood pressure, improve digestion and respiration, reduce weight and more. Companies that bring yoga in the workplace often find their healthcare costs are reduced, as yoga reduces stress and stress is attributed to up to 80% of doctor visits in one Harvard study.

Rest Better

Our lives are fast-paced and we are often so focused on getting things done we forget the value of introducing stillness into our lives. It’s only through stillness that we re-center and rejuvenate. Yoga helps people learn how to reset, both during the day and by increasing melatonin, enabling better sleep at night. Rested employees are innovative, productive and happy. They have better mental clarity and acuity.

Balance Your Mind

Mindfulness in the workplace is a hot topic with many recent books written on the subject. The term refers to a person’s ability to be present to what is happening in the moment, their mind clear and focused. In this uncluttered state, team members can respond instead of react and innovate instead of being locked in old thinking. Mindfulness is an essential leadership trait. Check out Mindful Work by David Gelles, or Creating Mindful Leaders by Joe Burton.

Build Morale

Shared experiences enable teams to bond. Team outings and group problem solving create strong teams. Yoga is a great morale builder as well. It is a unique shared activity within the workplace, as it enables team members to share a deeply personal and human experience, connecting them at a much deeper level. Yoga and meditation can also increase serotonin and dopamine production and lower cortisol production, literally making employees happier.

Having all of our quarterly meetings go virtual, we wanted to include a session of Yoga for our attendees before they sat in front of their screens all day. Dina put together a perfect class that worked well for all, even if they had no prior Yoga experience.
Her calming voice and easy to follow cues made for a perfect pre meeting session. You can’t go wrong with Dina

Diane Markowitz, COO, Child Care Success Company

I have been enjoying Dina’s weekly online Yoga classes via Zoom for the past couple months. Dina is great at showing different angles and options for each pose, so that I know I am in the correct positions. Although I keep my camera off, I still feel connected during the practice as Dina is offering suggestions and reminders throughout. I feel relaxed and energized after each practice . It is a great way to stretch and get the blood flowing!

Julie, Manager Investment Accounting, Yale University

What a great addition to our work day, I truly look forward to our weekly sessions with Dina. She focuses not only on body but mind as well. She brings attention to our breathing practices and just how important they are. Knowing that everyone’s limitations are different, Dina shows alternate poses which fit everyone’s needs. She is very calming which makes the session both energizing and soothing all at the same time. Since we are virtually practicing her personality shines though i.e., since she can’t hear our feedback while practicing, she speaks for us. It is awesome.

Debbie, Sr. Systems Business Analyst, Yale University

I would like to thank Dina for her yoga classes that she completed every Friday to the Finance group at Yale University. As you can imagine, when COVID-19 hit us, there were many individuals faced with anxiety, fear and instability. Dina took us away from all of that once a week and gave us a place to relax and think about ourselves, just for a moment. The thought she put into every session was evident by understanding our remote work environments. The breathing, postural work and meditation provided a renewed sense of purpose and relaxation. I, for one, looked forward to every Friday at noon and feel far better than when I began the class. Dina spoke to all levels of capability and offered alternatives for those less experienced. I would highly recommend Dina’s classes to anyone. She really has an enthusiasm and love of yoga that is shown through her teachings. She makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Dina – it was a pure pleasure to share these classes with you weekly.
