It has become quite common in the larger companies in the USA and Europe (Nike, Apple, Google, etc.) to have Yoga and Meditation sessions and even, in some cases, designated studio rooms for this practice. Companies have resorted to Meditation and Yoga in order to try to help employees increase their concentration levels and consequently improve the quality of life of both parties, impacting their professional, personal and family life.

“…Companies, such as “Mitsubishi”, “Sanyo” among others, include Meditation in their “regular working hours”. Companies such as “Claro” in Recife-PE, Brazil have their “little corner for meditation” where employees can meditate for 30 minutes, relax, read, or do as they please during this period in their daily working hours. The SESC-Center in Fortaleza, Ceará allows employees to have what they call a “Productive Siesta” twice a week. Employees or anyone can take the time to relax or meditate at lunchtime in a designated area specifically set up for this in the company.
