Office Yoga FAQ

What is Yoga and meditation like in the office?

Yoga and meditation do not really require much, just your presence and a space in which you can sink into yourself. It's great if folks have a mat, yoga clothes, etc. but this can all be optional too. Balanced Humans offers classes that cater toward a full yoga class for an hour or a more gym-less/desk stretch style class. Maybe meditation is the gig in your office. All that is needed is a quiet(ish) space where folks can breath deeply and let their days and lives slip away to be present in themselves for a few minutes. Not too many requirements, really just your presence!

Can I do yoga if I'm not flexible?

Yes! Every-body can do yoga from children to seniors. The level and depth of the poses or asanas will vary from class to class/ person to person, but most people can participate on some level. Unconvinced? Don’t take our word for it, have a look at an article from Mind Body Green that talks about it here.
