If You Can't Get To A Yoga Class, Let Yoga Class Come To you

When Ariel Blackwell was asked by her mother, Tammy, if she would be willing to assist with some projects at Wilson and Wilson, LLC, Ariel did not expect it to grow into a full time administrative and marketing assistant position. What’s more, she did not foresee teaching her future co-workers yoga at the office. But that is what happened. Ariel, a licensed yoga instructor, often discussed the benefits of yoga with her new associates at Wilson & Wilson LLC, The Center for Estate Planning and Elder Law. She had the idea one day to bring yoga to the office and pitched it to Managing Partner Bill Wilson who approved it immediately.

“Sitting in front of the computer all day causes a lot of stress and tension, particularly in the neck and back,” Ariel said. “I wanted to share how beneficial doing yoga was for your body, mind and spirit. I was so glad Bill was open to doing these classes.”

The classes, held twice a week, have been well received by most in the office. Wilson and Wilson, LLC is a multi-generational family owned firm. “It’s important to me to try and create a positive work environment,” Wilson stated. “Offering yoga classes at work is an easy way to provide an opportunity for my associates to improve their health right here at the office.”
