The Business Casual Yogi: Take Charge of Your Body, Mind, and Career (Career Success & Work/Life Balance Achieved Via Yoga) - Softcover

Words do not have the capacity to express my love and respect for Yogrishi Vishvketu and Vishwajeet Chatterji. They have the ability to bring the Heavens to the Earth, and the Earth to the Heavens. That Divine balance I have felt every time I have been in Yogrishi Vishvketu's class. His sense of humor and his prayerful skills as a yogi are unsurpassed. His gift of Seva to his School for Children uplifts and inspires me to serve more.

--Kahla Broussard, Vice President of Retail Operations, Sephora

A few books and thought systems deeply shaped my career and personal choices. The 4 Hour Work Week helped me break some business school habits. Crucial Confrontations helped me navigate challenging personal and professional relationships. Ikkyu's poems taught me that spiritualism and fun are not mutually exclusive. The Business Casual Yogi connected all of these dots in a delightful and completely unexpected way. Vish and Vishvketu explain the Vedic knowledge system through relatable personal anecdotes and practical questions that force self-reflection and pierce the veil surrounding yoga as a practice. Read this book if you want to achieve greater balance in your life.
