Yoga in the boardroom (1)

The Sanscrit meaning of the word yoga is "union" or "connection". The purpose of practicing yoga is to create awareness and enlightenment by bringing together parts that have become seemingly separated; that we have lost connection with in our perception. The practice of yoga is about (re-)connecting body, mind and soul within a human being with the beings around it and in the end with the universal energies all around.  This is a series of short inspirations on how the principles of yoga can bring more connectedness into boardrooms and organizations: for individual leaders, teams and whole organisations.   The first idea of creating more connectedness is by creating moments and awareness throughout your workweek to meet people in your organisation to understand and connect with their purpose. Those daily interactions do not have to be long or planned. The idea is to create more consciousness in yourself when you meet people to see who they are and what drives them. Simple questions like "what has inspired you lately" or "what creates energy in you" or "what (value/s) is/are important to you in life" or "what do you want to bring" or "what is most important to you in your work or life" can be wonderful openers and connectors of hearts and minds. I know that for most people it takes courage to ask those questions and I would like to invite everyone who reads this to do it anyway. The word courage comes from the French word "coeur" which means heart... What are your inspirations for more connectedness?
