She is very well versed in her yoga practice. I believe she would make an excellent employee and great addition to any staff." "I was amazed at how much stress was relieved from my whole being just by learning how to breathe properly. After a yoga session my staff and I are more relaxed, our stress levels drop dramatically, our attitudes improve and our thoughts are clearer, enabling us to accomplish much more in a much better way. I have recommended Heather Haun to many of my clients and will continue to do so. This little woman is truly a blessing to know!" Testimonials on Yoga in the workplace"The deep breathing and relaxation employees get from yoga help them to be more focused. When they go back to work, they're in a position to make better decisions." "Whether or not studies have actually proven that productivity is up and health care costs are down, anecdotally, the evidence is overwhelming. Companies understand you have to address employees' health and well-being. Employees need time to relax, and a lot of people are gravitating toward yoga as a way to manage stress."
"We have a yoga class for the teachers at my school every week. Each participant has learned how to incorporate yoga practices into their lives for stress release, muscle tone and balance, and for over-all mental and physical well-being. Our weekly class has been something to which we all look forward."
"My first yoga class at work left my muscles warm and my mind refreshed. I returned to my job with what felt like an entirely new body. Though I participate in various sports, I have never experienced anything as physically and mentally stimulating as yoga. I discovered that yoga is an activity that doesn't just stop at the end of a lesson. The focus and energy from the class carries over into the rest of the workday. Simply releasing shoulder and neck tension after finishing a task or adjusting seated posture can make a vast amount of difference in my energy level. Being able to achieve focus and summon the energy needed to perform one's job, even when exhausted, is an invaluable skill."
"Yoga in conjunction with meditation can indeed lower stress and improve work performance."
"A yoga-based regimen is more effective than wrist splinting in relieving some symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome."
