Corporate Wellness
Transform retention, wellbeing, and productivity
with yoga during working hours.
Challenges
They are especially persistent in workplaces involving repetitive tasks, prolonged standing, or long hours at a desk.
Hidden costs
Invest the same budget in retention rather than repeated recruitment, and costs become assets.

Scientific evidence
Medical research has studied Inner Engineering, taught by the internationally known yogi Sadhguru. The Hatha Yoga offered here belongs to the same tradition. Blood samples were measured in 142 participants by a team including Harvard researchers, with findings published in a peer-reviewed medical journal in 2020.

Recovery capacity (autonomic nervous system)
Parasympathetic response was 4.8 times that of the control group.
Sources include Sadhasivam et al., Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine (2020); Frontiers in Public Health / Psychiatry / Psychology (2022); and J Ayurveda Integr Med (2012). A large survey of 6,892 people found 31% lower stress among practitioners. Reports also describe brainwave patterns equivalent to deep sleep after just 21 minutes of practice.
Potential benefits
“Ha” means sun and “tha” means moon: the union of opposing forces. This is not simply exercise for flexibility, but a practice that balances mind and body at the level of energy.
Parasympathetic activity helps reduce lingering fatigue from repetitive work.
A clearer mind means fewer errors and distractions, even in repetitive tasks.
A steadier nervous system eases irritability, tension, and anxiety.
Sleep more deeply and fall asleep more easily, changing how you feel the next day.
Greater inner ease supports communication and teamwork.
Address chronic discomfort, including stiff shoulders and lower back pain.
Program examples
Before a break or before the workday ends, employees can choose between yoga and their usual work. Participation is optional. What matters is that the company creates an environment where movement is possible.
Case 01 · Weekly course
Use the 30 minutes before lunch for yoga and meditation. Participants are paid for this time as part of their working hours, while others may continue their usual work. Making participation voluntary helps employees take initiative.
Case 02 · Twice-monthly course
For example, set aside 4:00–5:00 p.m. for yoga. Employees may work as usual until 5:00 p.m., or attend the class as part of their working hours. A lower frequency can still help establish a habit.
Case 03 · After-work course
For example, offer yoga from 6:00–7:00 p.m. As participation is voluntary and outside working hours, no payroll adjustment is needed, making the program easy to introduce. It also offers a refreshing way to unwind after work.
These are just a few examples. Session times and frequency can be tailored to your industry and working arrangements.
In the workplace
Office meeting rooms, gatherings of business leaders, and in-house workshops. No special equipment is needed. With a place for people to gather, a program can start right away.
