There's an interesting magazine out of Australia called "Knowledge of Reality Magazine." It costs to subscribe, but in the spirit of sharing, they have some of their articles available online for free.
I found one on EI and Yoga:
"It has been argued that Goleman’s definition [of EI] is confusing because he has included variables which might be better called ‘personality traits’ than components of EI, and that the included areas reflect his personal biases and interests which include meditation and Eastern philosophy. Goleman’s book, however, contains very little reference to these areas and, considering the failure of western science to grasp the workings of the psyche, it might be worthwhile looking at EI from the perspective of Yoga."
Read the article to find out how EI and Yoga merge.
I'm intrigued by the author's reference to "Mahalakshmi, the goddess who is known as the giver of intelligence and also presides over the human brain."
A quick google search on the goddess produced these two finds:
find one
find two
And when I can find the time, here is what Google's proximity search tool yielded when I searched for emotional intelligence and yoga.
