 Attorney Jason Fitzgerald Korb lives and works in the
Washington, DC, area. When he is overworked, Jason
Fitzgerald Korb enjoys the stress-relieving benefits of
yoga.
According to studies by the American Institute of Stress,
work accounts for 46 percent of all stress. Further studies
reveal that high levels of stress may contribute to a variety
of health complications, such as hypertension and heart
attack. In addition, job stress can cause fatigue, headache,
and absenteeism, which can subsequently increase the risk
of work-related accidents and injuries.
Yoga helps provide respite to individuals suffering from
work-related stress by reducing anxiety levels, lowering
blood pressure, improving heart function, and releasing
tension from strained muscles.
 A mind-body activity that combines stretching techniques
with controlled breathing, the purpose of yoga is to
promote relaxation and inner calm. For busy professionals
with little time in their schedule for relaxation techniques,
yoga can offer solutions through simple, short routines
easily incorporated into one’s everyday life.
One 30-minute session performed each morning helps the
practitioner clear the mind and regain focus, which can
potentially result in increased productivity and work
efficiency. Furthermore, it can also help with depression
and boost memory and concentration. A routine might
start with active yoga poses for muscle stretching,
followed by breathing techniques and brief meditation. No
single pose or technique will work for everyone, thus
individuals may need to experiment to discover which
poses best suit their needs.
