The Practice
The Practice is a well-being intervention designed to reduce stress, increase joy, and support well-being. Performed 10-15-minutes daily, The Practice has been shown to benefit individual and group wellness. In a recent research study conducted by Mayo Clinic, researchers noted significant improvement from baseline in the following measures at 3 months post-intervention:
- Well-being
- Emotional intelligence
- Professional fulfillment
- Burnout
- Medical errors
Burnout is a significant threat to employee wellness and professional fulfillment. At Mayo Clinic in Arizona, our mission is to oversee and advance the joy and well-being for all employees. Joya and The Practice helps us do this in an effective and scalable way.
