doing yoga at and for work

don't get me wrong, i am not doing the lotus pose at work. imagine me at my desk, with a view of skyscrapers and me chanting ohm.

i wouldn't even recommend doing that at work.

what i AM doing is breathing long and steady when dealing with customs officials, telecommunication procedures and tax issues. it always helps to wake up a little early and do a few sun salutations and kapalbhatti (cleansing the frontal lobe breathing technique) before having a quiet tea. nothing like waking up the body you take for granted and bowing to it in gratitude and with grace. even though it is difficult to imagine being productive or remotely functional at 0600 in the morning, it is true what the yogis say- it is before sunrise and just as day breaks that one feels most at peace. one does not feel connected to ones identity... there is nothing to identify to at that hour!

and that is the time you are most free.
