Yoga at Work - Sitting Yoga Poses & Breathing Exercises
Goodmornin'! Research has found that sitting for extended periods of time is linked with an increase in several health risks. So what's a person to do if they sit at a desk all day? Hmm... got yoga?
And here's a few more tips...
*Stand up to take phone calls. Rather than kicking your feet up on your desk for the conference call, stand up while you chatter. Better yet, do a couple of stretches.
*Walk to see a colleague. Next time you pick up the phone or start to fire off an email, take a stroll down the hallway instead.
*Have “standing” meetings. Remove the chairs so that everyone has to be on their feet (this will probably keep meeting time to a minimum, too!) Won’t fly in your office? Encourage regular breaks for people to stand up during long meetings.
*Do your business on a different floor. Any time you need to use the restroom or a vending machine, take the stairs to the level above or below you.
*Move things away. Rearrange supplies such as trash bins and printers so they’re off of your desk and in another location—that you have to walk to.
Exercise at Work!
