Popular ideas about yoga would keep it to the fitness classrooms of the world. However, yoga is far more than a pose and its effectiveness is measured by how well it can be used as a tool outside the fitness room.
Yoga means integration of the body, mind and spirit of an individual. The physical poses (actually ?asana? or seat in Sanskrit) are only one factor to assist us in getting to yoga. When we are in balance we perform better in our work and play. Our interaction with everyone becomes effective. Our communication becomes clear and precise. We come out looking like a winner.
Let?s look at the example of the Ottawa Mayoralty Debates. It is true that data is important in a debate. However, look more closely at the composure and yoga state of mind of each candidate next time. Look at the posture and facial calmness of the candidate. Wouldn?t you rather have a candidate who can effectively steer in the middle of a crisis at the helm of the city?
Become more effective in your world. You can be more productive at work with yoga. Simple breathing exercises are the first step for developing better focus on the tasks in front of us. We develop a clear way of thinking and are less distracted by issues outside of our task.
