Eurythmy in the workplace - Liebe zur Erde

Eurythmy exercise programs as health care programs in entreprises

Traditionally anthroposophically managed organisations and enterprises offer since many decades Eurythmy for their employees. In recent years, international and conventional businesses more and more started to offer Eurythmy, too.  Goal of the programs is to create a better working environment, compensate occupationally induced bias and reduce absenteeism through illnesses.
The concept is developed on the requirements of the company and the job situation at the working place.



     











There exists some Research on eurythmy at workplaces:

The effectiveness of eurythmy in the workplace is impressively demonstrated by a number of scientific studies, including on from an Austrian construction site, carried out by Joanneum Research Professor Maximilian Moser on behalf of AUVA, one of the largest casualty insurance companies in Austria. Similar projects have been carried out with nurses, forest workers and teachers:

"The Chrono medicine in recent decades has made clear the importance of the rhythm for the health profile. With the destruction of natural rhythms of night work and shift work increases the mortality from cancer, heart attacks are increasing and the destabilization manifests itself in insomnia and depression. This "rhythm eating" opposite rhythm donors are coming from the creative therapies: a project with construction workers could be shown that the sleep quality can be improved by exercise and eurythmy in construction. Absenteeism decreased and accidents not occurred any more ".. From IND_Handbuch Pflegefit, see link below.
