Yoga at workplace has many benefits and it's catching up

Written by Pallavi Chattopadhyay |New Delhi |Updated: June 21, 2015

Move aside gyms and fancy equipment - corporate offices across the country are stretching to a new tune. Yoga is in vogue and its benefits at the workplace are manifold.

Chow Siddhartha has every reason to fall prey to the stress of his daily grind. With an array of meetings lined up with representatives from top companies such as the Royal bank of Sotland, ERNST & YOUN, General Motors, Deutsche Bank and the Taj Group of Hotels, his day is jam- packed and exhausting. On the contrary, Siddhartha looks relaxed. As the founder of Siddhartha Yoga, he practises what he preaches - the art of dealing with stress at the workplace. Siddhartha conducts corporate yoga classes in 10 major cities and provides employees of several companies with solutions to their physical ailments, especially neck and shoulder pain, caused from excessive hours spent in front of a computer screen and because of incorrect postures.

"The corporate industry is looking to promote healthier practices for their employees to boost productivity. There are a lot of health issues and a high risk of burnout," says Siddhartha, who charges between Rs. 1,500 and Rs. 5,000 for his corporate yoga modules - desktop yoga, yoga for computer users and yoga for corporate stress management.

The yoga exercises for computer users and desk employees include meditation to release stress, Sukshma Vyayama for the joints, asanas to mobilise the lower body and upper body for proper blood circulation, pranayamas, visual cleansing exercises, and guided relaxation techniques. Theses are often introduced for an hour daily from Monday to Friday, or for three days a week on alternate days, depending on employees' requirements.

The widespread popularity of corporate yoga is attributed to factors such as minimal space requirements, the flexibility of timings and that it can be practised in most outfits. These classes take place in presentation rooms, cafeterias, and even at an employee's work station.

Home is where the Hatha is

Yoga instructors have never felt more wanted. What with proliferating yoga studios and individual clients looking for able body-benders, prospects look nothing but good for these body-mind fitness trainers. The recent report by industries body ASSOCHAM predicts a 30-35% growth in demand for instructors, of which the home-based segment will take its fare share.

With the flexibility it allows both instructor and student, not to mention earning potential for the former, it's hardly surprising that graduates from yoga teacher training schools are going directly to the client's door.

Chow Siddhartha, launched his eponymous business online in 2008 even though he had the cred to head any class A yoga center. Having spent seven years acquiring various certificates and degrees, including an M.Sc. in Yogic science, he decided students would best be served this way. "Being a trained yoga therapy instructor I realized personal classes would best address a client's health problems, which could be hard to remedy in a class of 20," says Siddhartha, who is presently pursuing a PhD in yoga for back pain.

"Outside general wellness, people are looking to yoga as therapy. But they should distinguish between those qualified to teach basic asanas and those experts in solving physiological problems. They should ask to see an instructor's credentials, particularly when he/she works independently," advises Siddhartha, whose network of 70 instructors fans across 10 metros.
