Yoga At Your Desk: Simple Practices To Ease Stress And Tension

Por Jessica Inman

O que você irá aprender

This is a five day course for desk workers and anyone who spends a lot of time sitting, especially at a computer, to learn some very simple Yoga practices to help with releasing physical tension, reducing stress, staying focused and feeling more present, calm and clear at work. Over the five sessions, we target some of the body parts that can commonly experience issues when working long hours at a desk – we'll be practicing some deep breathing to ease stress and anxiety; we'll be stretching and moving the eyes, the neck and shoulders, and the wrsits, hands and fingers – places which often accumulate tension when working at a desk for a long time; and we'll be doing a short deep relaxation practice to give you a quick rejuvenation at times of exhaustion. If you are new to Yoga, this course will give you a great introduction to some of the practices and the benefits, and if you already have a practice, you will be given the tools and opportunity to bring your practice into your working life whenever you need to.
