How to Do Yoga from Your Work Place

from wikiHow – The How to Manual That You Can Edit

To avoid body pain and remain calm and focused, you can do simple yoga from your desk.

Steps

  1. Close your eyes.
  2. Inhale slowly; then slowly exhale.
  3. While exhaling, try to create heat in your breath. This should make a ‘Haaaa’ sound and will create friction in your throat, relaxing you and burning up those stray calories.
  4. Concentrate on your breathing. This will help you to relax from pressure and will help to increase your concentration.
  5. Visualize a balloon inflating and deflating as you breathe.
  6. Stand up behind your chair and rest your arms on the back of the chair, with your eyes closed and head down.
  7. Take a few seconds to find calm and focus amid a hectic workday.

Tips

  • Yoga videos, such as Gaiam’s Yoga for Beginners, have yoga positions and breathing techniques that can be adjusted for the workplace.
  • Some workplaces offer on-site yoga classes.
  • Morning yoga practice can be a great start to your work day, making you more alert, energetic and ready to handle the day ahead of you.
  • Consider buying yourself a Yoga video with step-by-step instructions on how to do some Yoga. A possible choice is Yoga-Zone.
  • Do these exercises when there is no-one else around so you won’t be disturbed.
