A moment of calm
The session was specifically focused on mental well-being and emotional balance and was designed to help alleviate the stresses of everyday life during a pandemic. The teacher spoke about the importance of self-care and topics such as mental health and emotional balance, which were then used as a theme for the postures and reflections.
Safety was of course a consideration when bringing so many employees together. In keeping with social distancing rules, the yogis took care to space their mats out. Brazil’s warm climate enabled the session to take place outside, and employees also wore masks throughout.
As José Silva, Nursing Technician at Supergasbras, explains, “With the psychological chaos caused by the pandemic, yoga guides us to a more serene and peaceful state of mind and body.”
