4 Quick Yoga Stretch Breaks to Boost the Work Day
Article At A Glance
This simple yoga practice consists of four 5-minute yoga stretch breaks that you can do whenever you have to sit too much. It is designed to release tension in tight areas from prolonged sitting: lower back, upper back, and hips. You can do each part individually whenever you get up and move around, or you can combine them any way you like. The entire practice is done in a standing position, so you don’t need a yoga mat or any other equipment. It is best to take your shoes off, though.
