Teaching Spiritual Growth to Money-Grubbers
Yoga Bears: It’s No Stretch to Say Traders Are Taking Deep Breaths
“In recent months, as markets have gone wild, [a yoga instuctor] has noticed increased tension in the neck and back of her clients … Luciano Cortese, a broad-shouldered 48-year-old hedge-fund manager, says he used to bang his desk, throw things or yell at someone when his job became particularly stressful. But since starting yoga in January, he has been taking the stock market’s jolts in stride, he says. ‘I just say to myself tomorrow is another day.’”
I think the benefits of a two-hour full-body massage are even greater than a two-hour yoga session.

CM,
I doubt this because you are active if you do yoga or meditate (originally yoga was just a relaxation between long meditation session as a friend of mine who teaches yoga told me).
If you can relax acitivley by yourself you are more able to avoid stress (no need for massages).
Cheers,
Markus

massage definitely feels good, while
the yoga does good.
That is, only if you learn to relax your muscles
more and more in your yoga.
interestingly, massage experience makes you aware
of muscle groups, which you can then ‘actively’ relax
using Yoga.
