Yoga@Work at Columbia Engineering: Enhancing Well-being in the Workplace

The Yoga@Work program at Columbia Engineering provided employees with an opportunity to prioritize their well-being through a series of six guided yoga sessions. Led by Lily Amirfazli, a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) from Columbia University’s Dodge Fitness Center, the program focused on enhancing flexibility, strength, and mental clarity. Held in the Electrical Engineering Student Lounge, the sessions allowed participants to step away from their daily routines, engage in mindful movement, and develop stress-relief techniques. Open to all experience levels, Yoga@Work fostered a sense of community while promoting physical and mental wellness. This initiative, a collaboration between the Office of Work/Life and the Dodge Fitness Center, reinforced Columbia Engineering’s commitment to supporting employee health.
