Office Yoga for Reducing Asthma Symptoms

We like to keep you up to date with the latest research from the world of wellbeing so that you can share this with your colleagues or use it to help you design the most effective corporate wellness programme.




Consider offering your employees Yoga classes.  It is a wonderful form of physical, mental and spiritual discipline.  It can improve flexibility, muscle tone and will also help them to relax. In addition to this The American College of Sports Medicine has now found that yoga could also reduce asthma symptoms.  In the study a group of adults with asthma found their symptoms were halved after just ten weeks of regular yoga.  Respiratory issues are one of the major causes of staff absence so maybe yoga could also help to reduce the amount of sick days taken by asthma sufferers.
