Yoga at Your Desk
It's great to do a yoga routine before or after work, but what about incorporating yoga stretches into the rest of your day? This is especially important for college students, or people whose jobs require them to sit at a desk in front of a computer for long hours, resulting in back pain and repetitive stress injuries. Just taking a few minutes to do stretches at your desk can relieve stress, increase productivity, and most importantly, make you feel better.
