Beyond the Mat Achieve Focus, Presence, and Enlightened Leadership through the Principles and Practice of Yoga

Achieve professional and personal success by following the philosophical principles of yoga, along with powerful poses that can be done at a desk, in flight, or on the go

Yoga is thought of by many as a fitness hobby--a gentler alternative to SoulCycle and CrossFit--but its underlying philosophy offers much more than a good workout. Yoga can relieve stress, focus the mind, and provide a path to reinvention, resilience, and a meaningful life. In Beyond the Mat, physician, executive, and yoga instructor Julie Rosenberg reveals how the essential lessons of the four-thousand-year-old Yoga Sutras contain a relevant framework in which to thrive both personally and professionally, with:

• Principles for achieving work/life balance, building resilience, cultivating compassion, and working effectively with others
• Practices to manage time, avoid distractions, and get in "the zone"
• Breath-control exercises to mitigate stress and anxiety
• Power poses that can be done at home, at a desk, or on the go
