Synopsis

Companies Can Do Yoga Too will transform how you do business. Perhaps you want to improve your relationships? Maybe you would like to enhance the way your employee's communicate or build stronger teams, leaders and managers? Potentially you want to increase innovation within your workplace and build a culture of authenticity that money just can’t buy? Or perhaps you want to create an organisation that leads the way, being a 21st century powerhouse driven by the digital revolution? Whether you are a leader in an established business or a budding entrepreneur, this book will inspire you to take positive action in growing a productive, healthy and profitable business at the same time as evolving yourself as a human being. You've discovered this book at exactly the right time to solve a problem that faces every business trading today. Technology is moving at such a fast pace that humanity is having trouble keeping up. Men and women in boardrooms and management teams are having to deal with new ways of working, of dealing with customers, stress and nurturing teams. Those with dinosaur attitudes will be left behind and fail. What's needed is enlightened thinking in business about 21st century relationships, engagement, authenticity and what it looks like to do the right thing. In this book you are shown how to explore your current set of beliefs about life and business. Then to challenge them, find your true values and guide your life in an authentic way that's true to yourself and to those around you. Your mind is a powerful tool. Your beliefs and thoughts bring about a cascade of very real chemical and physical changes in your brain and the body. Marion shows you how you and others in your company can use simple yoga tools, theories and philosophies to create the optimum mind and body for business success. On a journey right back to ancient Vedic wisdom, discovering a simple system that explains how the body works on five different levels - the physical body, the energetic body, the mental body, the intellectual body and finally the bliss body. These five levels influence human behaviour in all manner of ways, and yoga helps you manage all of them better. Marion teaches you how to apply this wisdom in modern business settings, drawing upon her own experiences in the City of London, first a business woman for over 20 years and now as a yoga teacher and therapist. Marion's methods will help you say goodbye to bad sleeping habits, poor diet and high stress. She will instead give you power and performance to start your day wanting to get to work, energized and relaxed, and to go to bed with a profound sense of peace and achievement.

About this title

About the Author

Marion is one of those perceptive people that has a sixth sense about life. Straight talking and warm, she is someone you want on your team with a finely tuned ability to see things that others can't. She'll give you a hug hello and immediately knows if you have pain and where it is! She'll talk to you for a few seconds and immediately sense your inner mood. Marion is physically, emotionally and spiritually in touch with the body and mind; feeling forces that most others miss. However it would be easy to stereotype a yoga professional as someone who knows nothing about business. Yet this former geek - yes a pinstriped-computer geek with over twenty years working in IT in the City of London used to be a fully paid-up member of the rat race until she realised she was in the wrong job. You see, Marion escaped corporate life to follow her passion – yoga. She got on a plane to India to study hands on with Vedic gurus, learning how to still the physical body to hear the subconscious mind and rebalance her life after years of stress on her body in a highly technical, high-powered, low-fulfilment job. Critically she realised that her former colleagues – all those other rats still trapped in the race – needed to hear this message too. So she returned to The City as a yoga therapist and teacher to pass on her knowledge to people just like you.
