Yoga Medicine teachers are very experienced at adapting to the unique environment and tailoring programs to the needs of each corporate group. All of our teachers are qualified, professional and reliable, and have current professional indemnity and liability insurance.
Some of our satisfied corporates include:
Sinclair Knight Merz (Engineering) – This corporate engineering firm has conducted regular weekly yoga classes on site for staff for many years. Recognising the mutual benefits of yoga for staff and the organisation, it forms part of their Occupational Health and Safety strategy. In a highly competitive employment market, human resources have also found it beneficial in the attraction and retention of new graduates to the firm. After attending a regular weekly class, participants have had more confidence in their ability to integrate yoga into their daily lives and many of the staff have progressed to having their own personalised daily practice, which is specifically designed to compliment their weekly group class.
Sustainability Victoria – This city-based eco-friendly company has held regular yoga classes on site for the past six years. Often attracting staff that support sympathetic and sustainable living, it was only natural that the staff adopted this weekly class as a normal part of their week. In recognition and reward for the commitment and dedication of staff to their weekly class, management has recently included the class as part of their Occupational Heath and Safety strategy.
Aroma Science – Staff of the Australian home of the holistic beauty product Aveda, have enjoyed a regular weekly class at their head office for the past four years. With strong links to products embracing and inspired by ancient Indian Ayurvedic traditions, tuition in the complementry principles of yoga has been embraced and enjoyed by all those who attend.
Premiers Department Victoria (Government) – A weekly class was organised by one of the staff specifically for the advisors and support staff to the Premier, Steve Bracks. With the pressures of their sometimes reactive and demanding role, time out for staff was like an office oasis. Over time, staff reported increased stamina, improved energy levels and the ability to reduce long term stress levels.
RACV Noble Park (Call Centre) – A course of classes was offered to teams as a reward for achieving sales targets. Management found this the ideal way to show meaningful reward and recognition to staff for a job well done. For many staff, it was their first experience of yoga and they were happy to have been offered this opportunity that they may not otherwise have had.
Telstra (Telecommunications) – During the pressures of a major project, Telstra offered their executive staff the opportunity to learn stress management techniques including meditation. The attendees were very open and receptive to the strategies that were presented and all those who completed feedback forms reported the sessions to be informative and beneficial.
