Chair Yoga to Brighten Your Work Day
Over the past weekend, I felt like the seasons clicked—warm weather is waning and winter is upon us. For many of us, this means going back to our usual routines, which often involve a lot of sitting. To support your transition from more active warm weather toward a more sedentary season, I put together a short chair yoga practice that you can do as a movement break during your workday.
We are all aware of how negatively sitting impacts our bodies, causing not just physical tension, but also affecting our physiology and mood. Movement is the perfect antidote to all of that. Try this short yoga practice to loosen up all the key areas that get tight from computer/desk work: neck, back, hips, and wrists. It also helps to lubricate your joints, gets your lymph moving, and encourages deeper breathing. It helps you manage your energy and open your mind toward more creative solutions.
