Staff Trainings
Are you ready to give your employees time-tested, research-backed health promotion tools? Want less stress-related sickness among your employees? Interested in cutting down on absenteeism-related costs at work?
When integrated into a workplace wellness program, Ayurveda — an ancient Indian medical tradition promoting optimal digestion, better sleep, and less stress — provides employees with a healthier, more balanced life, which in turn leads to increased productivity, reduced health care costs, and less absenteeism.
Among students from California Probation Departments and Stanford University staff who learned to incorporate the 108 practices taught in The Ayurveda Way into their daily lives, 95% experienced improved work performance and engagement.
These practices are simple, efficient and highly cost effective. Many of Ayurveda’s body, mind and spirit healing practices can be availed right from the comfort of your own kitchen and garden.
