You’re at work and you just interacted with that infuriating co-worker who just dumped a mess on your desk.  You’re in a meeting and someone just insulted your work.  You’re sitting at your desk with a giant stress headache and you can’t focus.

How can yoga help you deal with these situations? 

First, just breathe. You were probably already breathing, but make it more deliberate. Try inhaling for four seconds and exhaling for four seconds. Pay attention to your breath.

You’re not always going to have time to attend a studio led class. This doesn’t mean you have to skip yoga for the day. A short home practice is a great option on those busy nights where you just can’t get out of the house.  Maybe you only have 15 minutes. Good news, that’s enough to improve your day with a short practice.
