The tribe of yoga lovers is on the rise. Morning sessions at my home before I leave for my office are warmed up with intensive yoga. A number of my students are my neighbours who must work long hours at their offices glued to their laptop screens. Having been initiated into yoga by me sometime back, a majority of them are regular with it. We all share our notes on our experience with the discipline. A few who reported back pain, spondylitis and cervical have shown steady improvement in their conditions. The first ones to report improvement were those who suffered respiratory disorders, sinusitis being the most common.The last ones have always been those who had had skin or bone disorders.
What is causing all my friends on job the maximum anxiety is their inability to cope up with the economic recession blues. "I have been losing 30% of my salary every month after the management at my company introduced harsh performance parameters," shared Arun. Anisha feels she could be sacked anytime as the layoffs in her company are maximum in the top wrung. She is a senior manager. A few have been laid off, while others think they will be.
Our capacity to face a crisis is a function of our maturity and the incidence of the crises in our life we have been exposed to. Both would be hard to come by if one has not had them. However, a regular regime of breathing exercises as part of yoga is known to impart us the ability to deal with the adverse. In other words, a yogi would not have his panic button pressed so easily, thus maintaining composure. The latter is essential to have one put his best towards shooting the crises and emerge a winner.
I have seen some pigeon hearts turn soldiers taking the adverse in their life head on. Yoga certainly is a great deal about crisis management and beating the blues.
