Yoga Wisdom at Work [Hardcover]

In the western world, the yoga practice associated with doing poses on a mat benefits millions of devotees every day. Yet few people realize that the physical practice is rooted in a larger philosophy offering profound insights that can help people confront the complexities of daily life, especially at work. Maren and Jamie Showkeir's unprecedented book brings into crisp focus the full range of yoga's rich, transformational benefits. Based on the traditional Eight Limbs of Yoga (the postures or asanas, are only one limb), it offers straightforward, practical suggestions on how to integrate yoga's ancient philosophy and beautiful spiritual principles into the modern workplace. The book offers illuminating stories from people in professions such as banking, law enforcement, film direction, education and more. These living examples illustrate how yoga's teachings reduce stress and increase meaning and satisfaction at work.
