As more stress from the workplace rises, companies are looking to help their employees find work-life balance. Practicing aikido is an excellent way to relieve stress, stay calm and build positive relationships in the workplace. During the small or large group sessions, aikido offers companies looking to incorporate a mind-body wellness program for their employees. The OCBCA Foundation sponsors workshops  to develop an engaging team-building program for their staff. Aikido has been practiced and used in many leadership coaching programs. The concepts of leadership parallel the concepts of aikido. Blending concepts are practiced in aikido which allow a practitioner to work closely with his/her partner to foster a positive harmonious resolution to work/life conflicts.

Other concepts such as grounding, centering, and staying relaxed are essential in practicing aikido. During the group sessions, participants are performing light activities with a partner and learning how to feel, absorb, and redirect the partner’s energy.
