When you’ve been slouching at your desk for eight hours or more, your body suffers: tight hips and shoulders, a creaky neck and an aching back.
Leaving the office for an actual workout may not be feasible, but with a little yoga, you can reduce discomfort, relieve stress, increase energy and clear your mind — all in a day’s work.
Besides, studies show looking down at a smartphone or screen can add as much as 60 extra pounds of pressure on your spine, so daily stretches can also help you practice good posture.
And before you wonder if getting your ‘om on is possible in business casual, know each of these poses are work-friendly, meaning, you can incorporate them into your daily routine for a quick stretch at any time to feel happier and healthier.
