what people are saying about Light*Seed's
Yoga @ Work
program:
“I look forward to yoga class every week! I feel that it keeps
me centered and well grounded while reminding me to take a moment for
myself during the crazy work week.”
-Erin Lillywhite, HomeFront
"The first word that comes to mind when I think of Light*Seed classes is SERENITY and that's what I find during and after each of my yoga classes. It is an experience of recharging, relaxing and slowing down. After a week of sitting in front of the computer, my back, legs and spirit are finally taken care of during this yoga practice."
-
Cristina M.C., Geophysicist
"Excellent instruction! I've noticed improved flexibility and balance from our weekly yoga classes and the meditation has helped greatly in relieving stress."
-Zoria H., Alberta Infrastructure
Why Yoga @ Work?
Yoga
has been shown to promote overall wellness by boosting immunity,
endurance and energy levels. Yoga and meditation help to decrease
stress while cultivating mental focus and alertness. Participants
report greater joy, tranquility and a deepened appreciation for life.
Yoga at work encourages work-life balance while providing employees
with tools for increased health and wellness.
What is yoga?
Hatha Yoga comes from a rich philosophical
tradition originating in India. Light*Seed Yoga @ Work classes are
based in asana (physical posture), pranayama (breathwork) as well as
dhyana (meditation). Classes are a harmonious combination of physical
posture and movement synchronized with breath and mindfulness
meditation.

In addition to our incredibly popular Yoga @ Work program, Light*Seed
has just launched two new workplace programs:
Meditation Classes (chillax @ work) and
Creative Movement Classes (dance @ work)
We also
facilitate Lunch n’ Learn Seminars on a variety of wellness topics
including Desk Yoga and Work/Life Balance.
Desk Yoga
Desk Yoga is offered on an ongoing basis and can also be presented as a
Lunch 'n Learn seminar. In these informative sessions we use yoga,
breathwork and meditation to explore simple ways to improve posture and
increase ease while sitting. We practice yoga postures while seated at
a desk to increase range of motion while stretching and relaxing the
body. The poses presented aim to open the hips, soothe the back and
target tense areas such as the neck and shoulders. Suggestions are
made for ways to incorporate yoga, breathing and meditation into daily
work routines.
Accessible and enjoyable for all levels.
