Using Yoga To Succeed At Home & Work

As we press on into this bright new millennium, we’re perpetually reminded of the merger of east and west. Whether it’s by satellite TV programming that airs in productions from Unlike cultures, enjoying books and music from remote shores that, only a generation or two ago, couldn’t be gotten, and – naturally – communicating with individuals across time and space through the Net and the telecommunications advances, the Earth has become a much littler place.
