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.

1. In the UK, stress-related disorders and mental strain is responsible for the loss of 6.5 million working days each year, costing British employers an estimated 571 million EUR.
2. The annual global economic impact of depression and anxiety in lost productivity is $1 trillion (WHO, 2022).
3. Investing in treatment for depression and anxiety leads to fourfold return (WHO, 2016; American Heart Association, 2019).
4. Many psychosocial risk factors at work have been found to increase the risk of anxiety, depression and burn-out. The productivity in turn is dependent on the psychosocial well-being of the employees. Stress can affect one’s health, work performance, social life and the relationship with family members. Stress in the workplace has emerged as a major issue for businesses and has reached alarming proportions.

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 

· Overall physical and mental wellbeing

· Executive functioning and cognitive performance

· Social cohesion among employees across hierarchies

· Engagement at workplace, a sense of belonging, better social skills and support among employees

· Social inclusion with the employees feeling valued and involved in decision making

· Positive relationships at home improving family ties, work-life balance, and overall quality of life.

The benefits of yoga are not solely restricted to preventing mental health problems but has a wider range of health, social, and economic benefits. Reach out to discover how we can help?
