Yoga for office workers
Yoga for office workers – Sitting at the office desk in front of the computer every day can create havoc on your body. Most people spend too much time sitting on a chair staring at the computer for hours, weak after weak. It results in chronic pain in the back and neck, so even though spending long hours at the desk might be helpful for you on the work front, on the flip side, it takes a significant toll on your health. The good news is that you can rely on our Yoga Teacher Training in Goa program or go for a short Yoga Retreat to help you build a yoga routine to tackle these posture-related problems. However, AYM Yoga School in Goa has some yoga for office sequences, which you can practice without leaving your desk. So, try these office yoga sequences when you cannot leave your desk for a long time. Prolong sitting can take a toll on our glutes and hamstring. To counter it, start seated with your knees bent at 90 degrees and your feet flat. Press down on your heels and try to stand up without leaning forward without taking the support of anything. And, from standing slowly, sit down, keeping your back straight without leaning forward and backwards. Make sure not to shift your weight on either of the heels and repeat the pose 5 to 10 times. (Yoga for office workers) This will engage your glutes and hamstring muscles, eventually strengthening them. Stretch your arm above your head and draw 5 to 10 circles inwards and outward through your wrist. Now stretch your arms in front of you with your palm facing down, hold the finger, gently put it towards you, and then place your palm upward, hold the finger from the other hand, and pull it towards you. Repeat it with the other hand, accompanied by breathing. This stretch will help loosen the tight muscles and release the tension from your finger, wrist, and arm muscles. Sit on the chair, keeping your feet flat on the ground. Now, place your right leg over the left knee, making a 90-degree angle. Keep your foot flexed to not place unnecessary pressure on your knees. Keep your back straight and maintain the weight equally on both your seats. You can gently twist on the other side and feel a gentle stretch on your outer thighs. Repeat it with another leg. Sitting for long hours in the same manner can lead to an imbalance in the hips and lower back. Chair pigeon pose will counterbalance it. ( Yoga for office workers ) Sit on your chair and inhale as you stretch your arms above your head, exhale, lean forward, and rest your torso on the thighs. As you relax the head on the knees, let your arms hang on either side of the legs. Stay on the pose according to your comfort. This seated back pose will help stretch all of the back muscles and relieve fatigue and stiffness from the back muscles. This seated back pose will help you sit for prolonged hours To begin with, the pose sits on the chair, keeping your back straight. Inhale and stretch your arms above your head in a namaste position. Lean to the right and stay there for 3 to 4 breaths. Repeat the same on the left side for at least 3 to 4 breaths and return to the normal position. This seated side bent will relieve all the tension from the upper back, neck, and spinal cord. It also helps clear your mind from unnecessary thoughts and increases your focus.Yoga for office
