Seek inner calm with the mind-body connection

• May 1, 2024

Yoga, meditation and other exercises of oriental origin are finding a growing audience among business people in search of inner calm . Classes are offered at health clubs, training centers, corporate meetings and spas.

Lynn Doody, owner of Zen Fitness in Chicago, he points out that while in the past most of his clients carried out cardiovascular exercise and traditional weight training, most now incorporate body-mind applications in your regime.

There is no need to convince Mark Frantz. The 40-year-old vice president of Merrill Lynch & Co. had purchased products to manage stress and anxiety for 15 years. I ran a couple of times a week, trained in the gym and worked on stress reduction by conventional means.

But he still gritted his teeth at night, and even during the massages he received, his muscles were tense. I wanted something else, a different quality of life.

What he found was yoga and meditation . At home, on a plane, or for 10 minutes behind closed doors at work, Mr. Frantz removes distractions with deep breathing, yoga and other relaxation techniques.
