How Yoga Made Me A Better Business Person
summary
Describes how a vinyasa practice builds measurable workplace skills: discipline, sustained presence and active listening applied to tech marketing and teaching, with the audition process framed as an intense one-on-one interview that trains holding space. Reports program work with the Art of Yoga Project bringing yoga into Bay Area juvenile halls and the practice of calling each girl by her first name. Cites an ACSM study that attention plus activity improves information processing but is undone by phones; outcome: left advertising, pursues grad work and trained instructors in Kenya.
