An emotional roller coaster that all of us face every day. I have interacted with tens of thousands of active traders for almost two decades now. A trend I have seen across many of them who have done well trading has been that, along with spending a lot of time learning, they also take care of their mind and body. While we work on building different nudges on Kite that can help you take right trading decisions, we thought since the body and mind are such key ingredients to successful trading, especially in times like these, maybe we should do something about it as well. So we&#8217;ve partnered with ImStrong, the latest startup through our <a href=\"https:\/\/rainmatter.com\">Rainmatter<\/a> initiative, to bring you online yoga and mindfulness classes from March 22, 2020 \u2014 all sponsored by us. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Find below an introduction to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imstrong.co\/livestream\/zerodha\">program<\/a> from the co-founders at ImStrong. You can login here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imstrong.co\/livestream\/zerodha\">http:\/\/www.imstrong.co\/livestream\/zerodha<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>ImStrong is the most convenient fitness solution for busy people. Our video-streaming platform makes it easy for you to access trainer-led classes, like yoga and meditation, from the comfort of your home, office, or anywhere you like.<\/p>\n<h3>Why We Built ImStrong<\/h3>\n<p>Nowadays, almost everyone in any urban setting lives a busy life. As working professionals, freelancers, or business owners, we struggle to live an active lifestyle and are always under tremendous stress. Because of a busy and unpredictable work schedule, finding time to go to a gym is difficult. Either the travel time to the gym is overkill or hiring a personal trainer is not an affordable option. All of this stands in the way of making fitness a priority. But the underlying truth is that people want to stay healthy. Don\u2019t you? This was our personal problem too, and we wanted to build a solution for people like ourselves to make access to trainer-led fitness classes easy and convenient. Now users can exercise anytime, anywhere with guidance from a professional trainer.<\/p>\n<h3>ImStrong for Zerodha Traders<\/h3>\n<h5>Keep your health bullish even when the market is bearish<\/h5>\n<p>Clich\u00e9d as it may sound \u2014 health is wealth. And so is focus and mindfulness, especially for traders. As an active trader, you need to keep your body fit and your mind sharp. You\u2019re prone to make mistakes when you panic, which you can avoid when you keep your mind calm and at peace.<\/p>\n<h5>Exclusive online yoga and mindfulness classes for Zerodha traders<\/h5>\n<p>Zerodha values the overall well-being of every trader.
