2019. Our office.
Construction crew and office team. Together.
Look at this photo.
That's our team. In the middle of the workday. Taking a yoga class.
Not at a corporate retreat. Not as a one-time team building event.
Regular yoga class. In our office. Taught by Trinten, our Systems Director.
THIS IS WHAT A CONSCIOUSNESS-FOCUSED BUSINESS LOOKS LIKE:
Remember that post about Tiffany's yoga teacher training in 2012?
About how yogic principles became the foundation of Tru Companies?
This is what it looks like when you LIVE those principles, not just talk about them.
WE CARE ABOUT THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH US:
Not just their productivity.
Not just their output.
Not just what they can DO for the business.
Their LIVES.
Their physical health.
Their mental wellbeing.
Their spiritual grounding.
Their emotional balance.
Their overall quality of life.
Because they're PEOPLE, not just employees.
CONSTRUCTION WORK IS HARD:
Look at that photo. See our construction crew?
These are the people who:
- Demo houses down to the studs
- Carry heavy materials all day
- Work in extreme heat and cold
- Use their bodies constantly
- Put physical strain on themselves daily
Their bodies take a beating.
Back pain. Knee issues. Shoulder strain. Fatigue.
This is real.
So we offer them yoga. To:
- Stretch tight muscles
- Strengthen their core
- Improve flexibility
- Prevent injury
- Heal what hurts
- Take care of their bodies
Because we care about them beyond what they produce.
THE OFFICE TEAM NEEDS IT TOO:
Sitting at desks all day has its own challenges:
Tight hips. Stiff backs. Neck tension. Eye strain. Stress.
Different work. Same need for wellbeing.
So the office team joins too.
Everyone on the mat. Everyone breathing together. Everyone present.
WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF YOGA:
Not as some woo-woo trend. As PRACTICE.
Yoga heals our bodies:
- Stretches what's tight
- Strengthens what's weak
- Balances what's off
- Soothes what hurts
Yoga focuses our intentions:
- Clears mental clutter
- Brings presence
- Creates clarity
- Sharpens awareness
Yoga connects our team:
- We're not just coworkers
- We're COMMUNITY
- We breathe together
- We grow together
Yoga grounds us in presence:
- Not dwelling on past
- Not anxious about future
- HERE. NOW. PRESENT.
- Consciousness in action
AND HERE'S THE PHILOSOPHY:
This isn't just nice to do. This is STRATEGIC.
If we can help each one of our team members show up MORE FULLY...
More present.
More grounded.
More healthy.
More conscious.
More whole.
..then we can be of service BETTER to the people we serve.
YOU CAN'T POUR FROM AN EMPTY CUP:
Think about it:
How can you serve a family in foreclosure crisis if you're in crisis yourself?
How can you hold space for someone's grief if you're not grounded in your own body?
How can you show up with compassion if you're depleted and burned out?
How can you make conscious decisions if you're operating from stress and reactivity?
You can't.
So we fill our team's cups FIRST.
Not selfishly. STRATEGICALLY.
Because the better we take care of our team, the better they can take care of our clients.
THIS IS CONSCIOUSNESS BUSINESS:
Most companies:
- Push productivity
- Ignore wellbeing
- Treat people as resources
- Extract value
- Operate from scarcity
We:
- Prioritize wellbeing
- Invest in people
- See team as PEOPLE
- Cultivate value
- Operate from abundance
That's the difference.
THIS IS COMPASSIONATE CAPITALISM:
Making profit doesn't mean exploiting people.
You can be profitable AND humane.
You can grow your business AND care for your team.
You can pursue success AND prioritize wellbeing.
These aren't contradictions. They're INTEGRATIONS.
And honestly? When you take care of your team, they:
- Work better
- Stay longer
- Care more
- Show up fuller
- Serve better
It's good for people AND good for business.
TRINTEN TEACHING:
See who's leading this class? Trinten. Our Systems Director.
The guy who:
- Manages all our operations
- Builds our systems
- Coordinates projects
- Runs the backend
He's also a certified yoga instructor.
And he takes time out of his busy schedule to teach the team.
Because this matters. Because consciousness matters. Because people matter.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WORKDAY:
This isn't:
- After hours (on their own time)
- Optional (come if you want)
- Separate from work (work vs. wellness)
This is DURING work. Part of work. Integrated into how we operate.
We literally stop working. Clear the office space. Roll out the mats. Breathe together.
Because wellbeing isn't separate from work. It's FOUNDATIONAL to work.
CONSTRUCTION CREW + OFFICE TEAM = ONE COMMUNITY:
Look at this photo again.
Construction workers in work boots next to office staff.
People who demo houses next to people who answer phones.
Manual laborers next to administrators.
All on mats together. All breathing together. All equal.
There's no hierarchy on the yoga mat.
We're just humans taking care of our bodies and focusing our intentions together.
That's beautiful.
THIS IS LIVING THE VALUES:
It's easy to SAY:
- "We value our team"
- "We care about wellbeing"
- "We operate from consciousness"
It's harder to DO it.
To actually:
- Invest time in team wellness
- Pay people to do yoga during work hours
- Make it a priority, not an afterthought
- Walk the talk consistently
This photo is proof we walk the talk.
IF YOU'RE BUILDING A BUSINESS:
Or working for one. Or thinking about where to work.
Consider this:
Does the company care about YOU as a person?
Not just what you produce. But YOU.
Your body. Your mind. Your spirit. Your wellbeing.
Or are you just a resource to be used?
There's a big difference.
And you deserve to work for a company that sees you as HUMAN.
We see our team as humans. We treat them as such.
THIS IS WHAT CONSCIOUSNESS LOOKS LIKE IN ACTION:
Not just:
- Meditating alone
- Talking about principles
- Having nice values on the wall
But:
- Actually offering yoga to your team
- Actually making time for wellbeing
- Actually investing in people's lives
- Actually living the consciousness you preach
This is the difference between theory and practice.
We practice.

From yogic principles to team yoga classes.
From consciousness philosophy to consciousness practice.
This is what it looks like when you actually build a business on the values you claim to hold.
Construction crew and office team. Together on the mat. Breathing. Stretching. Focusing. Healing.
This is Tru Companies. This is consciousness in action.
That's the Tru-th. 💙
