" No matter what, show up! However you show up, show up! " great words from Jacqui Burge - Founder and CEO of Desk Yogi and the last #TheWomanAlchemist interview part of the #SmashThatCeiling #womeninspiringwomen series giving an insight in successful female leaders/role model and their mindset.
Jacqui started practicing and teaching fitness, nutrition, and yoga in 1994. This passion grew into a dedicated focus on the effects of workplace conditions on an employee’s overall well-being. Through extensive research and experience, she discovered that even with all companies do to make employees comfortable as a whole, the workplace continued to be plagued with absenteeism, depression, illness, injury, and disengagement.
To battle this epidemic of decreased productivity, low morale, and the major effect it can have on company finances, Jacqui launched Desk Yogi, providing a comprehensive wellness platform built around state-of-the-art instructional videos on topics including yoga, fitness, mindfulness, meditation and stress reduction, healthy eating, workplace ergonomics, and productivity to all employees in any workspace, at their pace, no matter their fitness level.
