Her failures and successes along the way hold powerful lessons for any woman striking out to build a business of her own or anyone simply searching for a sustainable and realistic version of health for themself.

PUNKWELLNESS IN THE WORKPLACE: PRACTICAL TOOLS TO MAKE YOUR WORK FEEL LESS LIKE WORK AND MORE LIKE LIFE

How can we strike that delicate balance of work and home when everything is shifting? The single most important thing we can do, is to take care of ourselves so we can show up “full power” for the most urgent needs as they arise. Today, flexibility is the key to success. Burge defines the steps every employee can take to retain boundaries between work and home life for successful outcomes.

ROCKING ENTREPRENEURSHIP: EMBRACING FAILURES AS SURE SIGNS OF PROGRESS

Burge shares her story of ups and downs starting Desk Yogi. As a single mom with two young children leaving the security of a salaried executive position with great health insurance to embark on the unknown took a propensity for risk (or courage), the ability to be blind to failure and add a dash of belligerent belief that you will not fail. After a hard no from a big investor, Burge had a key turning point in the investment process to shift how she was asking for money, this new method not only increased her energy but made the proposition more attractive and it raised the goal of 1 million dollars!

PUNKWELLNESS: PUT DOWN THE MAGAZINE & DISCOVER WHAT REAL WELLNESS LOOKS LIKE FOR YOU

Burge is the pioneer in developing the mini-break concept of wellness. The benefits to taking a 15 minute break are immediate: Improved immunity, increased feeling of well-being, increased energy, increased lung capacity, improvements in strength and flexibility, and reduced body aches and pains. For the past 5 years, Desk Yogi has been building a wide variety of short, accessible, “do-anywhere” online health & wellness videos designed explicitly to support our ever-changing lives. Now more than ever this applies to the hybrid work style of the future. Burge outlines what wellness looks like for a company as a whole organization to each individual.

 

“We used Desk Yogi for our recent Employee Appreciation week. Jacqui was wonderful and thoughtful in her approach to our needs. Our themes for the week included mindfulness and self-care and Jacqui’s session was a perfect reflection of our goals for the program. I would definitely recommend Desk Yogi and Jacqui Burge if you are looking for a unique method of assisting your employees with their wellness."
