Yoga for Work

Lucky for me, I’m not currently sitting at a computer 14 hours a day. Hence, I’m less in need of ideas for getting some physical movement in during the day while at work. But, for most people some simple stretching, breathing, and mind-centering during the workday could make a huge difference in productivity as well as physical and mental well-being.

I ran across a series of ten minute video clips designed by a yoga instructor for bringing a little bit of yogic awareness into the workplace and thought I’d share. The exercises are designed to counteract the effects of sitting down hour after hour. So, if you’re stuck at a desk for most of the day, use a few breaks during the day to do some desk yoga.

  1. I wish I could get my husband to take a yogic vacation during the day! Some nice breath work would do him good. I know we each choose our own path, so all I can do is hope.

  2. Thanks again for the content! I’m starting the “Yoga Tools for Teachers” workshop this week and gathering resources for my teachers to take and use back at school. This will be good for class session #2, “Chair Yoga.” 🙂
