Globally the working population spends a significant amount of their time at workplace. Hence, our work environment, interpersonal relationships at work, and organizational structure can significantly impact mental and physical health and consequently the staff performance. This directly impacts the productivity and bottom line of the organization2.
Problems associated with poor mental health remain the fourth most frequent cause of incapacity for work and stress is one of the most common reasons why employees consider their health at risk at work3.
The beneficial mental effects of Yoga and its ability to reduce stress levels have been well recognized.
Dalgas et al. (2008) proved that Yoga has relevant effects on cognitive functions, endocrine regulations, and other physiological factors; therefore, it should be effective in improving depression and mental disorders. Regular practice of Yoga promotes strength, endurance, flexibility and facilitates characteristics of friendliness, compassion, and greater self-control (Della Valle et al., 2020). Moreover, as seen in Wolever et al. (2012), it improves sleep difficulties, breathing rate and heart rhythm.
Yoga can improve all aspects relevant to the biopsychosocial determinants of mental health (Puerto Valencia et al., 2019; Gothe et al., 2019). Yoga is a mind body approach and the main advantage of yoga over other forms of exercise and talk therapies is its ability to help a person to self-regulate.
There is sufficient qualitative and empirical research evidence to indicate that yoga is very effective in reducing work related stress and burnout, and improve

Yoga has an impact on Organisational Performance
Research conducted in 2010 measured the impact of the yoga way of life (asanas, pranayama, bandhas, mudras, dhyana) on organisational performance. The study shows that adoption of the yoga way of life can bring about better job satisfaction, commitment, organisational behaviour of employees, and goal orientation of managers. These factors indeed contribute to the performance of the organisation. It was observed that practising the knowledge of yoga may bring about a complete transformation of your personality, on the physical, mental, and emotional levels which strengthens your ability and desire to put in your best.
“…findings at the National Institute of Health, the University of Massachusetts and the Mind Body Medical Institute at Harvard University prove that yoga enhances the qualities companies need most from their knowledge workers: increased brainwave activity, enhanced intuition, better concentration and the alleviation of the kinds of aches and pains that plague employees most.”
