Many articles have been written on the importance of Yoga in an individual’s life and just a simple Google search will get a layman tonnes of material about the same. However, having worked in the corporate world for more than 13 years, I certainly feel that fundamental principles of Yoga which were laid down thousands of years ago are still the most relevant in this highly competitive world where everyone is looking for quick wins and not long-terms solutions.
