Recently on Twitter, I came across a unique teambuilding experience, Yoga in the Vineyard (www.yogainthevineyard.ca). A number of Yoga and Wine events have been held at local wineries within the Niagara region. What a great idea!
It may sound that it is geared mainly towards women; however, men are starting to take notice of the overall health benefits of practicing yoga too. Combine meditation and yoga with the indulgence of wine – sounds very relaxing!
What a great way to motivate a group – whether a girls’ outing or a sales team – it will help those individuals appreciate slowing down their everyday pace. Yoga is defined as ‘an integrated practice which brings all aspects of self – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual – into balance’. More and more, it is important for us to tune into what our bodies are telling us (especially sneaking in a power weekend nap after a long work week); the power of yoga can help refresh those tired minds and make them productive once again. Introducing another de-stressor method such as yoga may help co-workers to sign-up or better yet, practice together.
Yoga is therapeutic, self-rewarding and helps ground you to free your mind from the “go-go-go” of it all.
Let’s make a toast to that!
