Does anybody do a daily yoga practice in banking? I ask because I know plenty of people who go to the gym to decompress, but I want to know if I'd be able to disconnect for an hour (be away from my phone) without getting shit for it. Basically can I be unavailable for an hour either in the morning or sometime in the evening to practice yoga? Thanks for the thoughts....

Personally would consider it very unlikely to get a solid hour in the morning to do this. I lift weights for the same reasons and have been able to do so about 4 times a week during the following windows:
friday night 7-10pm
Saturday all day
Sunday morning / afternoon
Monday early morning
would say that Monday -Thursday are going to be extremely busy days for you if your in a FO IB role so would consider those unlikely that you’ll be able to carve an hour out if working in office.
Eh not entirely true. Assuming nothing super time sensitive going on, sneak out around 6 or 7 to go to a yoga class.
Got away with it all the time during my analyst years. As long as you manage your work appropriately, people won’t care unless your culture sucks
Joined Alo yoga's online platform for this reason. Super convenient to pick a class and quite a few options for different class lengths. Definitely tough to have a consistent practice but I usually aim for Friday-Sunday and maybe another day here and there.
Wake up early and go. Unless I have early morning calls, I go to the gym around 6:30, shower there, and head directly to the office. Usually at my desk around 8:30am, in line with the rest of the team. Don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to do the same with yoga.
When do you go to sleep normally? I wake up around 7:30 to workout but it's not enough time for a full workout and going to sleep around 1-2 AM everyday kind of limits how early I wake up.
