Welcome to the first installation of Phantabulous Phyzz Client Profiles! Here we’ll feature some rockstar clients of ours to tell you their story, and to hear straight from them as to why yoga in the workplace is important to them.

We are hopping into the wayback machine to recount when we first heard from Karen in April of 2009, when she reached out to Phyzz for a free intro class (did you know that your first class is always on us?) to a group of yogis at the Intiman Theatre.

Karen’s instincts were great – she knew that yoga would be a great addition not only to her own work life at the theatre, but to others’ as well…and the numbers showed!  Karen really put in the effort to keep yoga affordable for her fellow coworkers. First, she worked with us to keep daily class prices lower and manageable by having yogis bring their own mats to class. Even better yet, she negotiated with the theatre to partially subsidize classes and have the difference simply deducted from each participants paycheck.  Simple as pie!

Intiman is a great example of a jointly sponsored yoga program. Intiman employees get the benefit of having yoga at work (Karen’ll talk about that below), and the theatre itself gets workers who are more balanced and happy in the workplace.  Double-win!

We are incredibly proud to still be working with Karen and her coworkers after nearly a year! Check out what Karen had to say below…

Phyzz: What do you see as the value of having yoga be part of your weekly work routine?
Karen: Workplace yoga was an exciting idea for me. I work full-time and have a 3 year old child. Knowing that one day a week I could have a breather, and help prepare me for the rest of the week without the stress of getting to work on time, was ideal. Eliminating the stress of travel, having the class at convenient time for my schedule and getting to know my colleagues a bit more has been wonderful.

P: Have you noticed any changes in your work life since you started doing yoga at work?
K: Absolutely. I feel more energized, peaceful, happy and more productive. My work day is greatly improved after every yoga class.

P: That sounds awesome! So, if you had all the time in the world, how often would yoga be a part of your routine?
K: Everyday!
