Yoga Stretches You Can Do At Your Workplace To Boost Your Productivity

Stretch breaks are especially useful for the ones whose occupations require them to sit for lengthy periods at a desk in front of a computer. Although focused work can be helpful in our professions, it can be hard on our bodies, resulting in back pain, neck discomfort, and lower back pain due to strain on the lumbar spine, over-stretching of the middle and upper back, and shrinking of the chest and hips. 

After a long day of work, you may feel stressed and these yoga techniques can help you reduce it. Regular practice of the postures also provides long-term advantages. Each pose takes less than two minutes to perform, and you can finish the entire sequence in under ten minutes—but I promise you'll feel the results for much longer.

Here are our top yoga positions to make you feel better. It'll help ease the pain of spending the whole day at your workplace.

• Chair Pigeon - While expanding the hips and chest, the seated pigeon stance helps us restore the equilibrium we often lose sitting in our computer seats. Place one leg over the other at a 90-degree angle while seated, flexing the foot to avoid pressure on the knee. Maintain an upright posture with an equal distribution of both seat bones. Hold for 5-10 breaths when you feel a slight to mild strain in the upper outer thigh. Repeat on the opposite end.

• Wrist and Finger Stretches - Begin with raising your arms aloft and drawing 5-10 circles with your wrists inwards and outwards. Then, swiftly stretch your fingers and close your fists to release any remaining tension. Finally, extend your arms in front of you, palms facing up. Gently push down on each palm to lengthen the wrist on either side. Change the hands to face downward for a forearm counter-stretch. Each stretch should be held for 5-10 breaths. Working at a desk can cause strain in the fingers, hands, and wrists; thus, these stretches should be performed often to improve blood flow.

• Eagle Arms - Carpal tunnel syndrome can be avoided by performing the eagle stance. It also helps to strengthen the triceps, back, and shoulders. Sit up straight with your arms at a 90-degree angle in front of you. Cross one arm over the other, interlocking your fingers and bring your palms together. Raise your elbows and extend your fingers upward. Hold this position for 3-5 breaths before swapping sides. You may make the stance more dynamic by crossing your legs and interlocking one foot behind another.

• Seated Crescent Moon - Crescent moon position stretches your sides deeply, stretching your spine and letting you return to your job with greater focus. Lift your arms upward, join your palms, and spread your fingers wide. Lean-to one side and take 2-3 deep breaths. Rep on the opposite side.

• Chaturanga - For this posture, begin in a standing position. Place your palms on the edge of a strong desk, shoulder-width wide, and move your feet backward until your chest is in a diagonal line to the floor. Descend into Chaturanga, holding your elbows to your ribs as they reach a 90-degree angle. Breathe as you return to the beginning posture. Repeat 8-12 times to stimulate your arm muscles while relaxing the muscles surrounding your neck.

• Seated Twist - Twists are excellent for detoxification, spine stretching, and abdominal and oblique massage. Put your hands on the back of your chair's armrests and slightly rotate your chest and abdomen around one side while sitting. Stay for 4-5 breaths before repeating the process on the opposite side.
