Practicing Office Yoga

Posted on October 25, 2008 in Latest News

Most of us have become habituated leading a sedentary lifestyle. We spend endless hours glued to computers without thinking about its effect on our body. We notice only when our body starts protesting in the form of dry eyes, backaches, shoulder pain, stress, fatigue, etc. Experts opine that simple yoga poses can reduce pain and such other symptoms by relieving stress and improving muscle flexibility and strength.

Yoga Poses at Your Office:

Some yoga poses at your office are:

Standing Forward Bend Pose (Uttanasana): Experts suggest that this pose can calm your mind and relieve stress, stretch and tone your hamstrings, hips and calves. The standing forward bend pose can also strengthen your knees and thighs and can allow your spine to re-align.

Fire Log Pose (Agnistambhasana): It is suggested that this pose can open your hip and can give you relief if you have sciatica pain. Sciatica pain is often felt in the buttock, lower back and different parts of leg.

Downward Facing Dog Pose (Adho Mukha Svanasana): Experts suggest that if you have backache problem, downward facing dog pose can help by lengthening your spine. This asana can also treat shoulder pain by relieving stress from your neck.

Initially, we may need time to get used to practicing yoga in our office. But, practicing office yoga can improve our overall work performance. Even fifteen minutes of practice can give relief from stress and pain, thus negating the effect of sitting long hours.
