Leadership and yoga. What do they have in common? “Everything,” says Shar McBee, best-selling author of To Lead is to Serve and Joy of Leadership.
“In Sanskrit, the word ‘yoga’ means union. In the West we’ve come to think of yoga as just the physical postures. Exercise. But it is much more than that,” McBee says, “In the simplest form, yoga unites your mind, your body and your emotions. Forward bends are relaxing and calm your nerves. Backbends are invigorating. Twists increase flexibility and make you more open-minded.”
Wouldn’t that be helpful to you in a leadership position? “Yes!” says Freya Farley, the Executive Director and Chair of the Board of Evergreen Easton Point, “Which is why Evergreen will be the first organization in Maryland to offer this brand-new workshop.”
Freya Farley is a lifelong yoga practitioner. Shar McBee lives in Beverly Hills, California and conducts these trainings for tech companies, “But you may remember her for organizing three sold-out Leadership for Women Conferences in Easton,” says Farley.
“In this workshop participants will learn leadership principles and a few yoga poses that will add strength and flexibility to your mind, body and career,” says Farley. No previous experience with yoga is required.
