Yoga for the Workplace- Now You can Relax

When my colleague unnerves me with his silly mistakes, I take three deep breaths, a calming solution that I learnt in the yoga class. The tide of my temper suddenly ebbs and I become the normal person again. Blood pressure down, heart rate normal and me a very nice person!

All this because of yoga!

Thats not all; I have learnt how to stretch my hands, my neck, and my torso so that blood flows well and my head clears. These are simple and even easy to do exercises in office.

Over the years my tension levels are down, performance much higher, hey I might even be boss in time. There is a simple asana that I have been taught to perform by my teacher that really helps me feel better. My hands are folded behind my back in a simple Namaste with palms joining each other. Soon my posture feels straighter and the lower back stress vanishes.

Of course my favorite is the five minute meditation. On my seat I close my eyes and connect to my inner self. The working day floats by, while I am in my internal world. When I open my eyes, voils the new me, ready to work and so much nicer to everyone. It does take a little bit of time and practice to get used to it, but the efforts are worth it. My colleagues keep telling me that I am so much better to work with, boss hints about promotion and I know this is the benefit I have reaped from my daily Yoga class. A relaxed worker actually makes a better one! I would recommend that all offices start yoga classes; it would make for a happier professional world.
