5 MINUTE DESK-SIDE YOGA FLOW
5 Minute desk-side yoga flow 🙋🏼♂️
-
🤓 Check out this awesome little flow I used this week to ground the @fintru_ltd workforce, releasing physical & mental stress on #nationalstressawarenessday
-
🔥 Perfect as a grounding warm up to a longer flow or as a simple everyday mobility sequence to combat strain associated with poor posture in the workplace. Particularly in jobs calling for long periods of sitting at a computer.
-
😌 When moving, focus on a deep grounding inhale that explores the entire body & a soft smooth exhale that calms a chattering mind and releases any physical tension.
-
📚 Sequence shown:
-
⛰- Starting in mountain pose. Seek balance and strength whilst standing tall & breathing deeply for 5 breaths.
-
🤔 Arm Circles - sweep arms overhead as you inhale & rotate open as you exhale for 5 breaths.
-
🏋️ Shoulder exploration - Take arms overhead, interlock fingers, flip palms toward ceiling & explore at centre and twisting to either side for 5 breaths each.
-
❣ Heart opener - interlock fingers or thumbs behind back pressing palms away from the body & explore how it feels to shine the heart forward for 5 breaths.
-
👴 Forward fold/ shoulder stretch - Enjoy 5 breaths in a deep forward fold with fingers or thumbs still in a bind, allowing head to be heavy & chin to fold towards chest.
-
🚶♀️Roll to stand - Enjoy 5 full breaths rolling to a standing position stacking 1 vertebrae at a time, like Lego!
-
💃🏻 Option to style & profile, strutting through the remainder of your day like the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
-
🏃🏼 Use the pace of your breath to dictate your tempo & should breathing become compromised or you feel any lingering tension or pain... CALL IT QUITS!
