INNERGY CORPORATE YOGA NEWSLETTER - MAY 2009
DIRECTOR'S THOUGHTS
Well, we finally did it!
 We are now officially Innergy Corporate Yoga! You knew us previously as "Pure Yoga". Why the name change? We wanted to streamline our company and narrow our focus, offering more workplace classes to companies just like yours.
So what does the name "Innergy" mean, anyhow? Innergy is a made up word, and is a combination of the words "inner" and "energy" and is a concept based on the sanskrit word often heard in a yoga class: “Prana”, which means “vital life force”.
Our corporate yoga classes allow busy employees to increase this internal energy field within themselves, which results in more energy and reduced stress, ultimately leading to optimal health and an illness-free body.
We are so excited about all the changes around here!
We have expanded our services to the Kamloops, BC area! If you know anyone in Kamloops that could benefit from a corporate yoga class or private yoga session, have them call us at 250.562.4162 or our toll free number, 1.888.457.3543. We will give them a free consultation to help them determine if our services are right for them.
Check out what our corporate and private clients are saying about us.
If you're a client of ours, and you enjoy our classes, why not tell a friend about us? We will give them their first corporate class for FREE, plus we'll give you a FREE corporate class at your workplace as a way to say thank you. And, if you prefer, you can trade in your free corporate class for a private one on one yoga or pilates session.
Take a look at our new blog, where we talk about upcoming events, new videos and books out on the market and more!
You can also now catch us on Facebook. Log in and add as a friend to stay up to date on news, events, get tips to stay healthy and stress-free in the workplace, and receive special offers.

BENEFITS

INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Sit on your desk chair, away from your desk, with your feet flat on the floor, legs at 90 degrees. Sit slightly forward from the back of the chair, so you have room to move through the stretch. Place your hands on your knees.
Step 2: Sitting up tall, as you exhale, round your back, pulling your abdominals into your spine, tucking your tailbone under and tucking your chin into your chest. Be as round as you can be, pushing your midback toward the back of the chair behind you (but not actually touching). Arms should be straight.
Step 3: As you inhale, allow your belly to move foward, arch your back, send your heart forward and (if your neck is okay) look up to the ceiling. Relax your shoulders and jaw.
Step 4: Repeat this motion several times, exhaling back and inhaling foward. Close your eyes if you feel comfortable, taking your attention inwards.
Step 5: When you feel you have had enough, stop in the middle, sit up tall, breathe normally and notice how you feel differently. Return to work refreshed and innergized!
