My colleagues are stressed, how do we bring them to learn yoga? How do I get them started?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

I leave this thought with you, because with this thought you will find ways to bring them in. You can either tell them, or you take up some research on pre-yoga and post-yoga and come up with a paper. Submit the paper and invite people for a discussion. I think scientific tempered people will not be in a closed mindset. If someone has a very closed mindset, I wouldn’t call them scientific, they are prejudiced.

Thirty years ago, when we wanted to do a course in Boston for convicts, people thought it is weird. They just gave us a very small and dusty room, with 9 convicts because we insisted that we want to go in there. But today that is not the case.
Today yoga is being accepted in many of the prisons. People have accepted it and they find a big difference in the way they look at life.
