If for business reasons you spend many hours in office or in any case sitting at the desk, the practice of Yoga is the cure-all for you. Some asanas can be easily adapted to a practice to be easily inserted during working hours.



Anyone who spends a lot of time sitting should get up from your chair every hour and take a short walk so as not to force the body to remain still for a long time in an unnatural position and perhaps with an incorrect posture for the spine.

But if you don't have a lot of time, when you have a five-minute break you can try to experiment with some of these positions, or the whole sequence. When you get back from the office, however, try to set aside ten minutes for a short asana practice before dinner if your time is limited.

The Yoga positions that you will find in the sequence below are aimed primarily at make the spine more flexible. If you suffer from neck pain, do not raise or lower your head too much while performing them, but keep your neck and head in line with your back.

These positions are also very useful for those who spend a lot of time sitting at their desk for reasons of study. From this point of view, remember that Yoga, in addition to keeping the body in training, helps the mind to regain it concentration more easily. A benefit that will certainly make you comfortable even at work.

Here are the 5 asanas adapted for the office proposals from Yoga.com.

To practice the sitting position of the cat bring yourself to the tip of the chair with your back straight. Bring your gaze to the ceiling by arching your back slightly backwards. Then begin to slowly arch your back forward starting from the lower back. Place your hands on your knees and keep your arms relaxed as you practice. Look at the video.



Seated Crescent Position

Lean forward very slowly following your gaze until your hands touch the edge of the backrest. Contract your buttocks to prevent your back from hunching. After a few seconds, slowly go up again keeping your arms at the sides of your ears.


Back flexion position down

Here is a position that releases tension in the lower back. As in the previous position, the advice is to bring the arms upwards, to the sides of the ears, when you are still standing and to go down so that the arms remain in position following the movements of the back and head. If you can't touch the ground with your fingers, place your hands on your ankles or shins. Go up slowly, always keeping your arms at the sides of your head.
