Yoga4 UK announced as new partner in Sheffield Lets Change for Life Programme

I’m really pleased to announce that Yoga4 UK have agreed to join the Sheffield Lets Change for Life Programme to promote health and well being in the workplace – Not that they took much persuasion, they are fairly flexible after all!

The award winning three year old Sheffield based company is a successful Social Enterprise whose mission is “to create sustainable health & well being for life!”

Through the tried and tested discipline of Yoga – which in itself is a complete system for overall health, relaxation and well being, Yoga4 UK offer practical and adaptable packages that offer something for everyone, whatever stage of life you are in.

Their programmes range from the ‘Active Birth Programme’, Yoga4 Nurseries (which covers Nurseries, Early Years, Pre-Schools and Children and Family Settings), Yoga4 Schools Programme and Yoga4 Seniors which is involved with Support Services and Settings for Seniors.

I first found out about Yoga4 UK when Farah and Cat came to the Chamber to give a taster session some months ago now. Their approach was something quite different to what I’d preconceived. The session left me feeling very refreshed, centred and calm – just the antidote to a busy day and perfect for those who rush from one task to another without necessarily having time for themselves.

To roll this out further amongst the Businesses of Sheffield, Yoga4 UK is working with the Let’s Change 4 Life Business Champions to specifically target stress and improve relaxation in the workplace using their Work-life-Balance programme in order to:

• Improve workplace health and well being, and in turn individual and ultimately organisational performance, productivity and competitive edge
• Reduce stress through learning and sharing techniques focusing on the self-management of excessive tension and improving personal effectiveness
• Support key Government strategies to reduce staff absenteeism and improve access to health and well being opportunities within the work place

The Yoga4 Work-Life-Balance Programme provides immediate benefits for a healthier, happier and more productive work force and is underpinned by the simple recognition that:

• Absence management is a key tool being used by many organisations to manage performance
• Wellness Incentives are a positive way to strengthen employee/employer relationships.
