The Fitness Belfast & Shane Todd introduction to yoga at your desk
SITTING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME MAY BE CAUSING YOU PAIN…
According to research from GSK & their Global Pain Index, 65% of us suffer physical pain simply because of a lack of movement - like all that sitting at our desks…
Our work habits and desk bound “sitting culture” is seen to be a contributing factor to this lack of movement, BUT the study has recommended that just 2 minutes of yoga or stretching at your desk each hour could go a long way to combating the stress created from all this sitting.
You might have caught me on BBC Radio Ulster’s Nolan Show showing Vinny & Nicola how to get some daily activity in, but if you missed that, here’s the extremely high production Fitness Belfast & Shane Todd Introduction To Yoga At Your Desk!
It’s a simple, light hearted, desk flow to get you started on your desk yoga journey - give it a try, share with your work buddies around you and you can all start to get the physical & mental benefits that come with taking a regular time out just to move around, and check in on yourself.
With each pose, take 5 big deep grounding breaths, making sure you follow your inhales & exhales all the way to the very end.
Then, grab a cuppa, and get back to work!
Enjoy!
