Taking a moment to stretch, breathe deeply, redirect one's energy flow or even try a little Dahn Yoga meditation at work can dramatically reduce a person's stress levels over the course of the day.
Taking a moment to stretch, breathe deeply, redirect one's energy flow or even try a little Dahn Yoga meditation at work can dramatically reduce a person's stress levels over the course of the day. This principle is behind the move by one Canadian software firm to integrate yoga into its routine.
Salesman Trevor Westerlund recently started an employee yoga program at Atimi Software, according to the Vancouver Sun.
He founded his company's yoga system after noticing that its large boardroom was empty much of the time. Westerlund told the news source that it hit him that he could utilize the space, as well as his impending yoga instructor certification, to help his coworkers relax.
"Being computer guys, we all sit at our desks for long, long hours, especially when we are on the push for a project," he said, quoted by the newspaper. "[Yoga] is a help for stress, for sure, and builds camaraderie."
By practicing tai chi, yoga, meridian channeling or moving meditation during one's break, overtaxed employees may be able to decompress while re-energizing themselves.

Thank you
I have found that doing stretching, loosening my body, and mindful breathing helps me on the job.
Being a recent college graduate, I had problems finishing my resume. At times it seemed like an insurmountable task. Thanks to Dahn Yoga I was able to find the focus that I lacked and finish it. Thanks Dahn Yoga!
At first it was hard to make my mind stop going all the time, but Dahn Yoga makes it easy to bring my focus inside and my thought become quiet, then I can focus. It’s great.
Hi
Thanks for adding me in this article. It seems to be catching on, businesses in Vancouver are bringing in people to teach right at their desks – it’s great
