Why do I practice yoga? It's impactful on my life and therefore it affects my trading. I had no idea what impact it would have on me when I began my practice. If you haven't started, I would give it a try. One of my teachers Erich Schiffmann has called yoga a "moving meditation" - you lose yourself in the vinyasa flow and don't think about the choreography of the flow. Become mindful of your breath and you calm yourself, lower your blood pressure and level of stress. Surrender to the process and notice over time how you feel better the longer you practice yoga. I admit, I did not feel this way within the first 3 months of practicing yoga. But there came a point where I didn't want to go a day without it. The blissful hangover you have the day after a yoga class is worth the effort. When you feel better, I think you'll trade better. You won't have the knots in your lower back, the stress in your shoulders, or tight hamstrings that distract you during the trading day. You can also just meditate and forget the yoga altogether, but the benefits to you overall body with yoga are superior to that of just You can also tap into your subconscious also by going with the flow and seeing where you are holding stress in your body and all the feelings that you are holding on to that you don't know you are holding on to...you'll release all the energy that your body is blocking mentally and physically. You'll also develop a stronger sense of mental stamina because you'll condition yourself to quiet your mind - and that means focus. When you focus, you'll be able to harness all your mental power and put it on the task at hand. You'll also benefit by NOT spending energy on things that don't matter anymore. That's how your life will improve. You can watch yoga lessons on YouTube. You can also buy some DVDs to practice at home. IMHO, you'll benefit more if you are a beginner because your teacher will help you make the adjustments so that your postures are picture perfect. Like for baseball pitchers, you want to have great yoga mechanics so that you don't inadvertently hurt yourself by trying to go to deep into a pose. My good friend Ally Hamilton has an online yoga school where you can stream lessons for $10/month and have access to some amazing teachers - many of whom I know.

In today's 24/7 always connected society, it's so easy to get caught up in the noise and distractions of everyday life. The constant barrage of emails, Facebook notifications, and Twitter posts may keep you occupied in the moment (and more importantly make you look "busy"), but they're also keeping you from doing the important work you should be doing to advance yourselves. Learning how to manage your focus and avoid distractions is an absolutely vital skill to master if you want to be successful, and once you do so you will easily move ahead of 99% of the people you are competing against for jobs in the post-production industry. In this episode I have an in-depth conversation with Yogis Anonymous co-founder Ally Hamilton, author of the new book "Yoga's Healing Power." We talk about how spending as little as five to ten minutes a day on your yoga mat (even if it's in front of your desk) can rewire your brain to be less distracted and more focused on the important work you should be doing instead of reacting moment to moment to your various devices. Topics of Conversation: Making Yoga accessible to everyone The 8 Limbs of Yoga What does yoga have to do with you? Yogic Philosophy and its relationship with the body Recognizing painful patterns in your life and learning to correct them What can yoga do for you? Replacing your negative inner dialogue with positivity What your yoga mat says about you and the people around you How being present leads to success Using technology to bring yoga classes to everybody Listening to your peers and how presence encourages connectivity How yogic philosophy will help your career Why strong focus and time management makes you value other people Ally's new book: Yoga's Healing Power Useful Links: Yogis Anonymous Ally's Blog Yoga's Healing Power Guest Bio: Ally Hamilton has been teaching yoga for twenty years and holds a passion for breaking down the gifts of the ancient practice and making them accessible to all.
