Yoga off the Mat

Realistically things aren't  always going to go the way you imagine. When
that  happens, it's easy to  let stress takeover your mind and
body. 

You  do your best not to let it affect you,
but you find yourself getting  stuck on something someone said playing it
over and over in your  head, and before you know it, you've lost sight
of your priorities and  goals. More importantly, you start to feel
tense which can cause you to  make impulsive and short-sighted
decisions. 

Stress  can be caused a  number
of things, such as your environment, your body,  and your thoughts.

Instead of stressing about things outside of our  control, we need to
reconnect with our inner-wisdom. Yoga is a practice that builds self-awareness
and helps cultivate a response from a calmer, quieter place. 

There are ways to practice it off the mat - as part of your daily life.
  
Here are 5 ways to bring yoga to work:
 
1. Sit up with chest open
When slouching,  the chest caves collapsing the diaphragm, impacting  the flow of 
oxygen through the body. Sit tall to allow for deep breathing and as sense
of  inner expansion.  Posture affects your inner state. A lengthened
spine connects all parts of the body,so take care of it!
  
2. Practice Mindfulness
Instead  of focusing on the piles of 
work waiting for you, or the never-ending stream of emails.  
Approach  one task fully engaged, and feel the rewards of completion.
 
3. Soften Your Eyes
Stop  squinting at the screen.  Focus from
an inward awareness while breathing  consciously allowing the body to
expand. This helps to relax the  body/mind.  
 
4. Set an Intention
Intention  infuses actions with clarity
of  purpose to direct your energy.  By consciously setting an 
intention, you  energize your goals. You'll feel better about each
task if you endow them with an the focus you need to complete them. 
 
5. Throw Your  Hands in the  Air
Reach  your hands up, as if you just won the lottery
or need to scare something away (think warrior). By stretching  this way, you
trigger an emotional response and feel more powerful.  When you feel 
powerful, you naturally manage stress better. 
 
Off the mat and into work and life,  yoga teaches  us
how to  manage life's challenges. By connecting mind and  body, these
tips help us  navigate stress with calm
confidence.
