Desk Yoga for Professionals
1. For Your Arms
Stand up and bring your arms behind your back and intertwine your fingers. You can also hold something heavy, like a paperweight, in your hands. Now lift your arms as high as you can and hold the position for 30 seconds.
2. For Your Wrists And Fingers
Hold your wrist and rotate it clockwise and anticlockwise. Do it 10 times in each direction and then repeat the same with the other wrist. You can do this while sitting at your chair or while standing up, as per your comfort.
3. For Your Shoulders
This needs some space, so you better do it when your colleagues have gone out for lunch. Drag your chair out to a side and stand away from your desk so that you can bend your back and touch the desk using your hands. Hold your arms out and touch the desk while keeping your head between your arms.
4. For Your Neck
For this exercise, close your eyes and drop your chin down. Now start circling your neck slowly, from right to left while taking your head back slowly. Keep your shoulders relaxed and try doing this barefoot.
5. For Your Legs
Sit on your chair with your feet flat on the floor with knees bent at 90 degrees. Now stand up without using your arms and moving your feet. After you stand, sit back with a straight back and without leaning forward. Repeat this step for 10 times. more
