Yoga and Work
How does it help in business?
At the heart of it is something which translates as the stoppage of mind modification.
For example when we hear music we get distracted. We must stay aware and conscious but not get distracted from our goal.
How then does yoga, an ancient, essentially private activity, help in the work environment.
The collective is an entity just as much as an individual is.
If individuals are happy, calm and alert then the collective consciousness is harmonious and dynamic and will produce better results.
If people are tense and unhappy it will reflect in their productivity.
The Yoga Institute at Santa Cruz (in Mumbai) which was founded in 1989. There people are shown a path, how to control your mind and not to run after sensual pleasures.
You learn not to run away from your responsibilities.
The root cause of these afflictions is ignorance.
That leads to a grandiose sense of self-importance and misunderstanding.
We love and hate in extremes.
By getting up and finding out what is happening, we reduce stress.
Once you are aware of what is going on you have won half the battle.
Yoga for Business People: Enhance your Business Acumen
There are many of us who feel we are not as bright as we would like to be, or that we lack the will power a friend or a colleague seems to have.
What is not known widely – or taken with skepticism even when known – is that mental power can be enhanced by Yoga and meditation.
Don’t worry if your allopathic doctors dismiss this claim, or worse, laugh at it in contempt.
Allopathic doctors tend to downplay such claims because allopathy has been brainwashed into a sort of negativism.

The beneficial effects of yoga on all professionals, particularly businessmen, have hardly been talked about.
Yoga or meditation is very beneficial to business executives because it makes decision-making much easier and quicker.
It takes away vacillation and helps the brain to grasp the pros and cons quickly.
A surgeon needs to take a decision quickly on the operating table, similarly, a businessman may not have more than five minutes to decide.
Supposing he has a dollar 1 million business deal where a decision has to be made in five minutes, he needs a brain which is stimulated and in a trim state. In this state, decision-making becomes easy and anxiety level goes down.
In such a state not only is the brain able to think clearly, but the other systems of the body which suffer due to stress or tensions, are also spared.
Yoga for Business People: Lifetime Habit
Devotees say the mind-body exercise regimen has a payoff in the workplace, as well.
Yoga for Business People: Mind-Body Connection
A rising number of business people are finding the mind-body connection.
Yoga, meditation, and other Eastern-born exercises are finding a growing audience among harried business people craving inner calm.
Classes are offered at health clubs, company fitness centers, corporate retreats and spas.
Ideas that once were left-of-center are finding greater acceptance with the public support. Mind-body executive fitness is a hot topic right now.
There’s just a general awareness, and non-conventional health care is a little more available.
Yoga for Business People: Workplace Implications
Mind-body fitness, which derives from Eastern philosophies and religions, improves physical and emotional well-being, and has implications for workplace performance.
The overall benefits of mind-body exercise are documented in an increasing number of scientific studies.
They include everything from reducing cardiac risk factors to enhancing mood.
‘You’re under stress, but you have to be in control all day, and after so many years, what happens is that leads to bad eating habits, stress hormone production and cardiac risk factors,.
The good news is you can reverse these risk factors without medication and develop some habits for a lifetime’ that complement conventional diet and exercise.
The kinder, gentler movements typical of yoga improve flexibility, strength and muscle tone and can be more youth-promoting than the wear-and-tear of daily aerobics, weights and running alone.
Especially with the baby boomer generation getting older, they’re realizing the need for flexibility, the need for good posture, and the desire for the things that are going to help them look and feel young.
