Yoga for the Desk Jockey ™: Twist it Out!

By Susi Hately, B.Sc. Kinesiology, C-IAYT Yoga Therapist

I love this particular twist throughout a day of typing and writing. It helps wring out tension in the back, neck, and shoulders.

It takes less than 2 minutes.

Here’s how:

1. Sit tall, feet firmly planted, sitting bones equally positioned on the chair.
2. Place your right hand on your left knee and your left hand behind you on your chair seat.
3. Inhale, and as you exhale, twist to your left. Be easy – don’t go to your maximum right away.
4. Take two more breaths and then switch direction.
5. Be sure you can breathe easy and your jaw is relaxed.

Enjoy,

Susi
