Benefits to COYOGA

1. Decreases Stress and Anxiety

Work can be stressful, therefore Cowork Rambla Catalunya has found the perfect cure – CoYoga. As stress can lead to mood swings, poor performance, and anxiety, CoYoga has helped coworkers to alleviate stress by helping them find peace as they learn to control their minds, while synchronizing it with their bodies. 

2. Increases Focus

CoYoga teaches one to be in the moment through focusing on the present body and how functions such as breathing are operating then. Correspondingly, coworkers then learn how to control and clear the mind, which results in the improved ability to focus on tasks throughout the workday.

3. Improves posture 

Sitting for hours in front of a computer takes a toll on the body. The aftermath can range from neck tensions or stiff muscles to back pains.

However, with CoYoga, the coworkers are able to alleviate these pains by moving and stretching strategically. In the long term, the physical movement and preventive meditation of yoga potentially help avoid certain aches and problems caused by bad posture and stress. 

4. Increases Productivity

When it comes to balancing work and personal life, exercising often becomes of lesser importance. Although counter intuitive, less exercise can lead fatigue to arise more frequently, and of course, low energy levels affect daily work tasks. Therefore, in integrating CoYoga, Cowork Rambla Catalunya aims to push coworkers to spend even if just a short amount of time on themselves and their health regularly. The hope is that it will boost energy levels and help coworkers tackle their daily work tasks. 

5. Life Balance

CoYoga at Cowork Rambla Catalunya! By partaking in CoYoga, coworkers have the opportunity to create balance between their professional and personal lifestyles. Cowork Rambla Catalunya does not settle between choosing one or the other. Instead, it believes that to be successful and happy, one must achieve harmony between the two lifestyles. 

Alone we are smart. TOGETHER WE ARE BRILLIANT.
