Let’s face it—workplace stress in Australia is on the rise, and with long hours, back-to-back Zoom meetings, and endless deadlines, our mental and physical wellbeing can quickly take a backseat. But what if there was a simple, low-cost solution to boost energy, reduce stress, and improve team morale? That’s where corporate yoga sessions come in.
At Yoga with Yogi, we’re not just about downward dogs and sun salutations—we’re about helping Aussie businesses create healthier, happier workplaces. If you’ve been wondering whether your team could benefit from yoga at work, here are 5 clear signs it’s time to bring a corporate yoga trainer into your organisation.
Increased Employee Stress and Burnout
A recent report by the Australian HR Institute showed that over 60% of Australian employees experience moderate to high levels of stress at work. Stress isn’t just a buzzword anymore—it’s a major health concern.
If your team is showing signs of burnout—like poor concentration, short tempers, or emotional exhaustion—it’s time to act. Corporate yoga helps regulate breathing, ease physical tension, and reset the nervous system. Just 30 minutes of gentle movement and mindfulness can do wonders for an overstimulated brain.
Yoga with Yogi’s lunchtime reset sessions are designed to help your staff return to their desks calmer, clearer, and ready to take on the rest of the day.
Decline in Productivity and Focus
Let’s be real—sitting for eight hours a day staring at screens isn’t exactly inspiring. Add in the post-lunch energy slump and it’s no surprise productivity takes a hit.
If your team’s output is slowing down, deadlines are slipping, or mistakes are becoming frequent, yoga can be a game-changer. Regular corporate yoga sessions improve blood circulation, increase oxygen to the brain, and help employees reconnect with their bodies—leading to sharper focus and better decision-making.
According to a 2022 workplace wellness study in Australia, teams that participated in weekly yoga reported a 15% increase in productivity and reduced mental fatigue.
Higher Sick Leaves and Absenteeism
Is your HR team constantly dealing with sick leave forms? Frequent absenteeism due to headaches, back pain, or stress-related issues is a common red flag.
Corporate yoga can significantly reduce common office-related health complaints. Postural issues, repetitive strain, and even eye strain can be improved through specific yoga stretches and breathing exercises.
Our “Desk Yoga” program at Yoga with Yogi is tailored for office workers who spend long hours in front of a computer—no yoga mat needed!
Low Employee Engagement and Morale
If your workplace feels dull, disengaged, or uninspired, you’re not alone. After years of pandemic disruptions and remote work fatigue, many Australian workplaces are struggling to re-build positive team culture.
Yoga brings people together in a non-competitive, uplifting way. It encourages connection, collaboration, and emotional resilience. Whether it’s a weekly team session or a monthly wellness event, yoga can quickly become something your employees look forward to.
Businesses that prioritise wellness programs like yoga see up to 67% greater employee satisfaction, according to Safe Work Australia.
Desire to Create a Stronger Work-Life Balance Culture
Modern Australian workers are craving more than just a paycheck—they want purpose, wellbeing, and work-life harmony. If your team values flexibility and mental health, offering corporate yoga sessions sends a strong message: “We care.”
Providing access to yoga at work (either in-person or virtually) helps you stand out as an employer who values their people. This isn’t just great for your current team—it’s also a brilliant recruitment tool.
At Yoga with Yogi, we work with startups, tech firms, law offices and schools across Sydney and beyond to integrate yoga into their corporate wellness strategies—both online and on-site.
