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."
Bill Doyle, HBO Employee, Health and Fitness Director

"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."
Edie Weiner, President of Weiner, Edrich, Brown, Inc. New York Trend Analyst Firm

"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."
Suzie Moss-High, Teacher, Adobe Bluffs Elementary

"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."
Elizabeth E. Weber, BD Biosciences Pharmingen

On Yoga and Stress Related Injuries:

"Yoga in conjunction with meditation can indeed lower stress and improve work performance." Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Mass. Medical Center

"A yoga-based regimen is more effective than wrist splinting in relieving some symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome."
Journal of American Medical Association, 1998

"Many doctors now prescribe yoga for patients suffering from heart disease, arthritis, or diabetes. Imagine what it can do for people whose biggest complaint is stress headaches."
US News and World Reports, 1997

"Yoga is a very powerful tool of stress management."
Dr. Dean Ornish

"The bottom line is that yoga is an exercise that is food for the heart."
Dr. Noel Bairey Merz; Medical Director Cardiac Center at
Cedars Sanai Medical Center, Los Angeles

On Yoga in the News:

"Fifteen million Americans include some form of yoga in their fitness regimen - twice as many as did five years ago."
Time Magazine

"The best part of yoga is that it doesn't end with class. What you learn through yoga readily transfers to other aspects of life."
Sandra Uyterhoeven, Columnist, HR Today
