Under Yama - one of the eight paths that an individual has to follow while doing raj yoga – is self-control. While in the case of yogis it means knowing to control their desires and impulses, for those who have corporate jobs and are walking on the path of raj yoga it means to shift focus from an autopilot mode and making more conscious decisions, not giving into instant gratification, keeping longer goals in perspective while making work decisions, and knowing when to not give into their worst impulses.

Yama, in layman’s terms means yogic duties. One of the yogic duties that raj yoga prescribes is that of non-violence. For those corporates practicing this form of yoga, this duty has a significant meaning. In our work environment while physical violence would mean a lawsuit and termination, we often inflict mental and emotional abuse on those with whom we work. There are bosses who are bullies and yellers, and co-workers who are toxic. If you are a follower of raj yoga and always walk the path of non-violence, you can never be one of those people.

Any corporate boss will tell you that you have no future if you have no self-discipline. But, if you are a practitioner of raj yoga you will already have iron-clad discipline and a love of simple but rigid structures that help you be more productive. Discipline elevates you from the ranks of ordinary. It is one of the most fundamental tenant (niyama) of raj yoga.

Self-study is another rule of raj yoga, that if followed in corporate life, can reap astonishing benefits. No matter how high up you go on the corporate ladder it is important to keep educating yourself, and gathering knowledge, even if it doesn't always pertain to your work. All knowledge accumulated together give strength to our intuitions and perception of the world, and can truly be our guide in this ever evolving world of technology and new media.

Raj yoga also calls for unflinching focus. If you can bring your mind and body together and give your work the kind of devotion that bhakts show towards their gods, and lovers to their object of affection, then your success is inevitable. Discipline is one of the independent paths of raj yoga.

Asanas is one of the component -- a path of the eight paths -- in raj yoga. Those who practice asanas regularly know how to switch off the chaos in their minds and listen to their bodies. Our bodies have wisdom too, which if ignored for long not only affects our health but also our productivity. Therefore, exercising regularly is a must for practitioners of raj yoga.

With the ever growing stress bubble thanks to endless workload and deadlines, this is one aspect of raj yoga that you must incorporate in your life if you wish to go a long way without burnout. Meditation is the path through which you connect to your breath -- the most basic life form. If you are someone who has already embraced the usefulness of pranayamas, you know what we are talking about.

Santosha or contentment is one of the guidelines (niyama) of raj yoga as well. There is no end of running after money, power and success in corporate life but if you do not know where to do the line, it will leave you too exhausted to enjoy anything. So, learn the art of contentment. Count your blessings, be grateful.
