Monday, August 08, 2016


Sitting at your desk in front of your screen all day can often leave you drained and uncomfortable. To help you make it through the day and feel more energized and efficient, take a moment and try some office yoga to keep your wellbeing in order. Try these 5 simple exercises either sitting at your desk or standing up. Before you begin, apply a couple of drops De-Stress Mind Bath & Shower Oil to your pulse points to help you clear your mind and focus.

  1. High Stretch Pose
    Take a deep breath and lift your arms with palms facing upwards and fingers locked together. Lean to each side and hold for a few seconds before breathing out.
  2. Twist
    Turn your body to the side while sitting on your chair with both hands on your waist to deepen the twist. With each twist, take a deep breath for a few seconds and breathe out. Repeat on each side.
  3. Stretching Arm and Wrist
    Stretch out your arm to the side and spread your fingers then bring them to a closed fist. Repeat this movement five times on each hand. Then stretch arm in front of you with hands pointing downwards and gently pull fingers to counter stretch the wrist and forearm. Repeat on body sides.
  4. Shoulder Rolls
    Straighten your back and lift your shoulders to your ears breathing in deeply then exhale as you roll your shoulders back in a circular motion, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Repeat the movement five times.
  5. Ankle to Knee
    Straighten your back and place your left foot on your right knee and slightly lean forward to stretch. Hold for a few seconds then repeat with the other foot.
