In many books on Yoga there are innumerable references to disciplines. Eat this, think that, do this and don't do that. These are for the most part literal interpretations of ancient writings which had vastly different meanings.
Yoga is about change, getting closer to our full potential, being more present with what we do and becoming more conscious and attentive to our actions. Are these not the attributes of inspired employees and in turn inspired companies? Commitment, inspiration and selfmotivation are the basis for improvement in productivity, performance, fulfilment, stress reduction, quality improvement and health. The very elements of Yoga, transcribed some 5,000 years ago, are the essential ingredients of 21st century corporate success.
Change in business is initiated and implemented through personal change--the willingness to do something different and step outside the square. Yoga provides the catalyst for self development and subsequent corporate change. Now with automation, computerisation, digitisation and employee training reaching extremely high standards, self-development is the most logical and potent opportunity for growth. Change and growth in productivity are essential today, and Yoga is one of the prime building blocks for that process.
