Yoga with the Boss: The New Golf

Thursday, 17 February 2011 | by Pat's Picks

It’s the new golf. The New York Post says yoga with the boss is the newest way to get a leg up, literally. While it might seem a little inappropriate to get sweaty and contort your body like you’re playing Twister with upper management, fans of the pastime say there’s less room for embarrassment on the yoga mat than at happy hour—and it’s healthier.

Some job seekers have even started boasting about their yoga chops on their resumes. Says one 25-year-old man who listed “advanced yoga practitioner” on his CV: “I think it automatically marks you as slightly alternative, creative and modern.” He got the job, by the way, and has a weekly yoga date with his boss.
