yoga @ work

new for 2020: I’ve created several online yoga classes and movement breaks for my corporate clients now that we’re all trying to keep it together at home. I’d love to share these with your organization - contact me at emily.star.yoga@gmail.com (or use the form below) to see a sample class and talk details about what your employees and colleagues need now.

Q: What do Steve Jobs, Evan Williams, and Arianna Huffington have in common?

A: They all benefitted from making mindfulness practices a part of their routine.

Do you have a conference room that is just begging to become a place for you and your coworkers to unwind during lunch or after work?  It's possible to make yoga and meditation a part of your workplace wellness program.

Since yoga is adaptable to the strengths, weaknesses and mobility concerns of every student, it is a great way to bring a population of varying ages and fitness levels together through a non-competitive physical activity. Anyone who spends more than a few hours a day in a chair in front of a computer (or on one's feet in front of customers) can benefit from learning ways to de-stress, breathe deep, and safely stretch and strengthen the hips, shoulders, and neck to help tolerate and reduce headaches and upper- and lower-back pain.

I have taught weekly classes at the government agencies, lobbying firms, and non-profit membership organizations; created morning movement and mindfulness sessions for professional conferences meeting in the D.C. area; and led 10-20 minute sessions of "Office Yoga: When Your Desk Chair is Your Yoga Mat" to D.C.-area consulting and tech firms, often during yearly health fairs. I'd be happy to design a program that would serve the needs of your organization. Use the form below or drop me a line at emily.star.yoga@gmail.com.
