Yoga in Office

Can yoga be performed in office?

Hi,

In context to my post yesterday, I received an anonymous mail where the person concerned asked me whether it is advisable to do yoga in the office or not.

My answer is: Yes. Working in an office or at a computer for prolonged period of time can strain your neck, shoulder and back muscles. This in turn can lead to tension and stiffness, which subsequently gets worse and transforms into headaches, as well as back, neck and shoulder pain.

If left unattended, it can also leave an adverse effect on your  work and your overall quality of life. Simple techniques such as Office Yoga helps to alleviate the pain and other symptoms by releasing tension and increasing muscle strength and flexibility.

Even doctors and psychologists have also opined together that working out simple yoga postures in the office is not only effective in terms of physical exercises but also enlivens the spirit and mind of the tired employee. They can be performed right on the office chair, any time, any day.

In my next blog, I will talk about the techniques of doing Office Yoga.
