What does it take to become successful? A little planning, a little funding, and…yoga? Let’s put it this way. With all of the changes taking placein our office, the restructuring we’ve undergone, and the amount of CostCo candy we tend to inhale, work was taking its toll. But instead of freaking out, we decided to mellow out with a bit of zen in our hectic lives.

Once a week, a lovely young yogi named Katie comes to our offices and leads an hour-long yoga session on the Redwerks rooftop. We all bring our own mats, but Katie, who is CPR-certified and all that good stuff, brings the blocks and the music. She’s adapted our practice for a wide range of experience: some of our team have involved in yoga for years, and some are just beginning. She’s done an excellent job of connecting us as a team and allowing us to get out some of our frustrations.

The interesting part as well is that we’ve recently starting telling our clients about the practice, and some of them have joined us for a session. It’s a great way to bond over a project and make sure that everyone knows that we’re all in it together. Especially after watching some of us fall over doing headstands. It reminds everyone that we’re all human and mistakes are part of the experience.

If you want to drop in for a yoga session with the Redwerks team or get Katie’s contact info, drop us a note at kommonwealth(at)redwerks.org.
