How yoga can help to improve employee wellbeing
Employee wellness and wellbeing is fundamental for maintaining an inspiring workplace. Ensuring that employees are not burned out from daily work, taking a break from the desk is crucial.
Drewberry, an organisation who strongly prioritises employee wellbeing, has recommended that organisations help their employees unwind using yoga.

Today’s jobs can not only be mentally taxing but physically taxing; just because fewer of us in the UK are in manual roles doesn’t mean working can’t give us the odd ache or pain.
