Why Invest in Your Staff?
“Stress is the epidemic of the 21st Century” In a world that is driven by technology it isn’t surprising that stress and mental health related issues are increasing. People are working harder and longer hours in a technology driven world. The technology can shut down, be re-booted and upgraded but as a business owner the most important asset within your business is your staff. Your staff need to be empowered, encouraged and provided with the tools to allow them to have a work, life balance. By investing in your staff’s health and wellness within the workplace you are encouraging them to take ownership of their own wellbeing. Empowered and healthy staff are more likely to be more productive, engaged and motivated and less likely to be absent from work.
Why Yoga In The Workplace?
The National Institute for Care and Health Excellence (NICE) has released new guidelines to encourage employers to help their staff become more active and fight obesity. Yoga has been listed as a key tool to improve productivity within the workplace (https://www.nice.org.uk/news/article/employers-encouraged-to-help-their-staff-become-active-in-fight-against-obesity). Professor Gillian Leng, deputy chief executive and director of health and social care at NICE, said: “If the United Kingdom’s 5.7 million small and medium sized businesses encouraged their workforce to be more active, they are more likely to reap the benefits of having engaged employees who are more productive and are less likely to take time off sick.”
Yoga can help your staff breath more deeply which increases the oxygen in the blood and improves clarity of thought.

At Yoga Warrior we have taken the tools of an ancient practice and converted this into a business tool with Yoga Warrior Online. Our Founder, Dr Yvonne Davies has led and built companies within the Healthcare Sector and is acutely aware of the relationship between chronic diseases such as heart failure, stroke, diabetes and stress. Yoga Warrior is the only online wellness platform that provides yoga, meditation and relaxation videos that are tailored for business professionals. Dr Yvonne Davies has been a CEO & CBO and yoga and meditation have helped her to perform at her best. The content contained on the Yoga Warrior website has been created from extensive training within the yoga arena. Dr Yvonne Davies has trained with Yoga Scotland for 3 years then went on to train with Forrest Yoga and Aerial Yoga.
We have used our vast experience in business, health and yoga to develop Yoga Warrior Online. The Yoga Warrior videos are focused and tailored specifically to the needs of business people. If your staff are sitting at a desk all day they will most likely suffer from back, hip and wrist pain.

You are empowering your staff to take control of their own health during their working day. You have invested a lot of money in training your staff so it is important that your business retains them and doesn’t lose them to your competitors.
