Corporate Workshops
Namaste!
For corporate retreats, programs can be customized.  Two popular workshops have been:

Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion  

Modern society  does not have an appropriate place for the emotion of Anger. We have been
taught to suppress this emotion, or stigmatized it as Bad. There does not seem to be place
where we can allow this to be as it is just one of the many emotions we express. Through this
process we will begin the process of normalizing anger, so we can deal with it in an effective
productive manner.

This workshop is designed to recognize Anger and see how it develops. One we have done this
we can then  channel this powerful emotion into a productive tool. Most folks are not aware that
"anger" is rising, so once it's there they have already been swept up by it's awesome power.
The first part of this process will be to identify what causes us to become angry. We will use
journaling and facilitated group discussion for this. Once the what has been identified we will
then begin the process of channelling. For this We will employ techniques used in
Theatre,(Role Play) Drumming( for raw expression), Dance and Yoga to find the appropriate
way for each individual to channel this misunderstood emotion into a productive tool for growth.

Back into our Focus

60-80% of North Americans will suffer from some back ailments in their life time, this according
to The American College of Sports Medicine. The cost to employers runs into the Billions of
Dollars, annually. The main causes of back injuries are Stress and Activity Limitation. This
means that if we do not use the back, and spine correctly we will incur some sort of back
ailment. The physical state of the spine determines how well it functions and use and injury will
alter it's structure. The interrelation between structure and function is central to understanding
many back problems. We are all born with a certain Kyphosis, curvature of the neck, and
Lordosis, curvature of the low back. These both must be maintained in order for the spine to
function effectively.

Most corporate employees spend , on average 60 hours a week working at their desks and
computers. This does not allow much time for the spine to get it's necessary movement. Over a
period of time these employees will develop Low Back Pain, Neck and Shoulder Pain and
Computer Slouch. All these can become chronic.,. The spine carries important information to
and from the brain to various part of the body. If this main artery of information is clogged or
out of service it would definitely impair ones judgment to make the best decision for any given
situation.

In this workshop we'll use Yoga and Breath work to open up effected areas : ranging from the
neck to the pelvis. The spine is bookended by the shoulder girdle and the pelvic girdle. We'll
learn how to keep these areas loose, open and strengthened. Through a simple set of
postures we can insure to keep the work force healthy, and productive.
