Anyone who reads my blogs and columns knows I’m a big fan of Gary Halperin’s yoga classes, and now I hear he’s got a very unique service for businesses and organizations.
This could be a very cool “benefit” for employees and business colleagues — can see a forward-thinking HR offering this to staff during a lunch hour or at the end of a day.
Workplace Meditation Workshop Offers Lower Stress and Improved Decision-Making
Studies show that even a few minutes of daily meditation have been proven to have long-term benefits for workers at every level – benefits such as stress reduction, better sleep, lower blood pressure and improved decision-making. Award-winning yoga and meditation teacher Gary Halperin is offering a one-hour Introduction to Meditation Workshop for businesses and workplace organizations in Sarasota and Manatee counties. Halperin believes meditation may help co-workers and colleagues deal more effectively with workplace stress and feel better equipped to cope with increased work loads common in today’s challenging economic environment.
This unique workshop gives workplace managers the opportunity to provide colleagues and employees with a relaxing, educational, and beneficial experience – in the comfort of their own office or business setting. Halperin teaches with a straight-forward, practical approach and provides easy-to-understand instruction and basic meditation techniques that individuals can easily and discreetly use every day in any workplace environment.
The cost for an in-office workshop is $100; groups of varying sizes can be accommodated. As part of the workshop, all attendees who have not already taken yoga classes with Halperin will be offered a free, one-hour class at the Radiance Center studio, located at 2868 Ringling Boulevard, in the Gold Tree Plaza. Call 941.952.0960 or visit www.feelbetternowyoga.com for more information.
Halperin has been voted “Favorite Yoga Teacher” for the past three years by readers of Natural Awakenings Magazine. He is a professional-level certified Kripalu yoga and holistic lifestyle teacher, and has taught meditation technique to thousands of people including Sarasota County Government employees, Ringling School of Arts and Design students, staff, and faculty, the Sarasota Orchestra, the Sarasota Music Festival, top real estate agents, religious leaders, medical doctors, and the Mayor of Washington, DC. Prior to settling in Sarasota, Halperin was Spa Director at the four-star Grandover Resort in Greensboro, North Carolina, and Spa Programs Director at the Coolfont Resort in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. He is a graduate of Amherst College and the author of “Feel Better Now … Meditation for Stress Reduction & Relaxation,” available as an e-book on amazon.com.
