On International Yoga Day – June 21, Sheatwork focuses on the benefits of practicing yoga for women entrepreneurs
We know that entrepreneurship has a direct impact on the economy of a country. And, it is the result of many enterprising individuals – men and women, who decided to branch out and create footprints of their own. So, sheatwork focuses on women entrepreneurs on June 21 – International Yoga Day, highlighting the fact that to do ‘fit’ business, a woman entrepreneur has to ‘fit in mind and body’ too.
It is the fifth occasion when this day is celebrated. To mark the significance of yoga in one’s life, June 21 has been observed as International Day of Yoga every year, since 2015. It is also being celebrated at the United Nations with the theme – “Yoga with Gurus”.
To decide to step out and become an entrepreneur requires a lot of initiative, hard work, patience, determination and more. It calls for a healthy body and mind. It is important to create that balance, which will actually take a long way.
Imbibe the benefits of practicing yoga
In India, yoga can be traced back many centuries and presents a way of life. Yoga is an ancient Indian way of life, which when practised properly, ushers in changes in mental attitude, apart from keeping you very fit and fine. The practice of yoga – the asanas, pranayam and meditation can actually foster your journey to the highest level of consciousness. It has been followed religiously by sadhus, athletes, people from all walks of life including celebrities and business heads. It brings about a rejuvenation that gives you an extra impetus – to live life to the fullest.
So, if you are a woman entrepreneur, you can make an attempt to understand the importance of being fit both physically and mentally – for this will only take you strides ahead in your business endeavour. Starting from our PM Shri Narendra Modi, many politicians and business leaders are seriously pursuing this activity to bring about sound progress in their personal environment. Endorsing the benefits of Yoga, the new Minister for Information & Broadcasting Shri Prakash Javadekar pointed out the fact that practicing Yoga “has become the mantra of new India under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi”.
