Yoga for Management: Workload and Stress

Sunrise in South India Contrary to popular belief, Yoga is not just about postures (asanas that you do with your body) but a science and technology to align mind, body, energies, and emotions in a singular direction to bring joy, bliss, and success into the lives of everyone. From my experience working in the corporate management, backpacking around the world, and studying & practising yoga for many years, I would like to share a few 'yoga for management' articles on how managers and career-focused individuals could benefit from Yoga philosophy and have practical tips handy to take action. What is our workload? Anyone who works in a competitive industry understands the challenges they face with work-life balance and the stress they experience while managing their workloads.

There is a large gap in the understanding of Islam between the people's perception of Islam vs. what people see happening around the world vs. what the people following Islam say it is. There are many reasons people have voiced about the gap in understanding all around the world depending on which side of the discussion they are on. The purpose of this post is NOT to endorse, explain, or criticise Islam or put it in comparison with other religions. I did a little bit of research and found a few similarities between Islam and Yoga, and my goal here is to explain to you these observations. It is up to each of you to decide what you want to do with this information. I would first like to point out the major differences between Islam and Yoga - Islam is the second largest religion in the world articulated by Quran and is followed by more than 1.7 billion people around the world. Whereas Yoga is no
