A healthy body is one that maintains balance. A healthy body can summon the strength necessary to lift, push or pull an object of resistance. In the same breath a healthy body must have the capacity to extend, release and gracefully move in multiple directions. 
The path of the “corporate warrior” oftentimes leads to financial success and security but along the way the “corporate warrior” may sacrifice the health of their body and mind.
Yoga can replenish the “corporate warrior” due to its ability to calm the mind and regain balance in the body. Two excellent poses for the “corporate warrior” in all of us are Trikonasana (the “Triangle”) and Parsvakonasana (the “Side Angle”). These two poses challenge the “corporate warrior” to resist and release at the same time. During each pose the body is challenged to mindfully engage certain muscle groups while consciously releasing (or extending) others.
The concept of simultaneous “control and surrender” at first may seem counter-intuitive but when an individual achieves it their actions become efficient, fluid and natural. When the “corporate warrior” applies this concept into their work and life they have the tools necessary to overcome the most difficult challenge without sacrificing their peace of mind.
