Yoga At Work
To decrease physical tension, relieve mental stress, increase productivity,
and improve your overall health, try these quick yoga stretches for
the spine at work to improve posture, release tension, and boost your
energy. Remember taking some deep, easy breaths while you stretch will
enhance the stretch and revitalize body and mind.

Side Bend
Begin by rolling your shoulders forward and back a few times
slowly. Then, inhale and reach your arms over your head. Gently
clasp your left wrist with your right hand. Exhale and gently bend
to the right, drawing your left arm up and away slightly with your
right hand. Hold for a few seconds while you breath deeply, then
return to the start, switch and repeat. |
 |
Seated Twist
Place your left hand on the outside of your right knee, clasp the
right side of the back of your seat with your right hand. Keep your
feet on the ground, and lift up through your spine as you gently
twist your body to the right. Draw your right shoulder back while
you look over your shoulder. Release and switch sides. |
 |
Crescent
Standing with hands on lower back, slowly lift through your
waist and then arch your body back slightly to open up the front
of your body. Always follow with a Forward Fold. |
 |
Forward Fold
After the crescent, place your hands on your thighs. Take
a deep breath in, lift your chest, and then exhale and slowly
slide your hands down your thighs as you hinge at your hips. Try
to keep your spine straight for as long as you can in this stretch.
As your hands reach your shins, your back will slightly round
and you can relax for a few moments with knees bent, breathing
deeply. Pay special attention to relaxing the back of your neck.
