office yoga??

[Guest guest]

Are you talking about a little blue and white

book called "Office Yoga"? If you are, I am holding a

copy in my hand right now (somebody gave me a copy --

don't laugh). It is a cute little book, but sets forth

the most non-esoteric approach to "yoga" that I can

possibly imagine. A sample:<br><br>"While you are reading

your e-mail, remember to breathe slowly and focus your

attention on your breath. Make the out-breath two times

longer than the in-breath. This will immediately calm

you."<br><br>I suppose that this is also good while you are

reading the newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. And so

much nicer than those awful sweaty postures!

Eagerly awaiting the sequel, Office Ashtanga.

Fairechild, has written some

interesting books about the hazards of air travel.

That's not the same one I was making fun of; mine

is by "Darrin Zeer". It says in the back that he

"has been practicing and teaching yoga for more than

twelve years" (possibly while simultaneously reading his

email). <br><br>Can it be that there is now a whole GENRE

of "office yoga" books?

Now I'll have to go to Books-A-Million, find that

book, and report back to you! I just picked it up and

flipped through it, so maybe it is the beginning of a new

genre. Personally, I think it's not a good policy to

bend over in the office unless you have a door that

shuts and locks and no windows! Might give someone

"ideas"!
