<\/p>\nKaspersky Lab hopes you will join us in celebrating a fun and fit International Day of Yoga on June 21, 2016!<\/p>\n
What possible connection could there be between yoga and information technology, you might ask. IT is all about coding, virtual environments, and cybersecurity; yoga is\u2026not. But we say the two seemingly dissimilar things are directly related. To begin with, yoga keeps us healthy. That\u2019s why every security expert is a kind of cyberyogi, keeping the cyberworld healthy.<\/p>\n
Then, yoga is the best friend of any programmer or office worker. You don\u2019t need a gym to do yoga \u2014 all you need is some free space in your office or home. You can spend 15 minutes every few hours doing yoga to get your head straight and forget about the daily grind. You can even do breathing exercises while working \u2014 for example, while reaching for a poorly placed cable or while stretching yourself after writing a neat piece of code.<\/p>\n
Now we want to obliterate a stereotype and demonstrate that IT specialists are not only intelligent, but also physically healthy and flexible.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Join the #ITYogaChallenge to have fun and become healthier! Perform one of these asanas (or another one) in the office, alone or together with your colleagues. Take a photo of the position and post it on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or VK.com. Be sure to add the #ITYogaChallenge hashtag to show us what you\u2019ve got! Who knows, we may even share some Kaspersky swag.<\/p>\n
If you are new to yoga, don\u2019t be shy. Plenty of people who have been doing yoga for ten years still cannot do a full lotus \u2014 but they practice other poses and have enviable posture. The aim of doing yoga is not to beat a rival or break a record. It\u2019s all about self-improvement \u2014 every day you try to do just a little bit more than yesterday.<\/p>\n
