Why Chair Yoga?
Why Chair Yoga?
Most professionals spend hours each day seated, often without realizing how quickly posture, tension, and mental fatigue build. Zen Exec Yoga was created to offer a simple, efficient way to counteract the effects of sedentary work, without asking teams to step away from their desks or disrupt their day.
Chair yoga uses a standard office chair to support gentle, intentional movement. It emphasizes spinal alignment, shoulder and neck relief, breath awareness, and seated mobility, making it ideal for professional environments.
Modern work has real costs:
✔ 59% of employees say stress negatively impacts their performance²
✔ 70% experience regular neck, shoulder, or back tension from sitting⁵
✔ Over $300B is lost annually in the U.S. due to stress-related productivity loss¹
Why chair yoga works:
✔ Up to 40% reduction in stress after short movement sessions³
✔ 20%+ improvement in focus and productivity⁴
✔ 30% improvement in neck and shoulder discomfort⁵
