Yoga, Massage and Nutritional Counseling at Home?

You Asked for Convenient Exercise and Wellness Options, We Listened

That's right, we also provide at-home private yoga, massage therapy and family nutritional counseling sessions. The information we share is just as important and valuable to people outside of work, and this part of our business developed from workplace clients asking us for at-home private consultations. Whether at work or home, we take care of everything, including billing, insurance, communication and scheduling. That's what we do.

Why is GuruToYou Successful?

We get it. We understand people across the country are stressed, over worked, worried and struggling to maintain a positive and healthy physical and emotional state of well-being.

The economy is slow, lay-offs still happen, people are worried about losing their jobs, maintaining health insurance and paying the mortgage. When employees linger in a space of primal need (for food, shelter and water), they are not as productive, and work product is below average to poor. 

We're all thirsty for a solution. Yogic based alternative wellness programs (popular topics right now that are convenient - at work or home - are a natural solution for stressed out overworked people with little time exercise, eat healthfully and learn or practice meditation.

GuruToYou brings well-needed alternative wellness, leadership communication and motivation to you, whether at work or home.

Applying Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to the Workplace

Abraham Maslow studied exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglas. He believed we have varying levels of motivation that are met one after the other. In other words if we're starving we can't reach self-actualization.

At the primal level, employees have a basic needs for food, water and shelter.

We also have the need for security. In the workplace security comes in being free from the fear of workplace violence, having a good health insurance plan, job security and perhaps a good retirement plan.

Next is the social layer, the need to be part of a team - peoples desire to belong. People in this stage of tier career are motivated by the team aspect of work. They may enjoy passing out paychecks or organizing the company softball team because it's a chance to connect with co-workers.

Next are those who are motivated by the respect of peers. Their reputation and the dignity of doing a good job becomes important.

Finally, and this is where it gets interesting, is Self-Actualization. The Michael Jordan space of working, when there is nothing between the employee and his or her work. Professional Self-Actualization exists when employees feel a  genuine joy and satisfaction from doing the very best work. These are the easiest people to manage because they are self-motivated and produce consistent, high quality work.

When the economy slows down, profits shrink, companies conduct massive lay-offs, and political turbulence exists, employees "bear down" and work in a space of primal fear, sometimes sabotaging the work of others in an effort to jockey for position. They worry about losing their job and health insurance, being able to pay rent or the mortgage and therefore don't produce top notch work.

GuruToYou's wellness and HR Helper training programs are a combination of yoga and Malslow's insight into self-actualization. Our wellness and communication classes help individuals acknowledge the power of the present moment.
