Work looks a lot different than it did two years ago, and we are all just trying to manage it the best we can. At TRILUNA, we always want to ensure we provide you with the resources to make your work life less stressful.

Here are a couple chair yoga poses that can be done in the office or the comfort of your home office if you’re looking for some mid-day movement and mindfulness. Each pose is designed to be beginner friendly but also great for those who have been practicing for a long time. We recommend doing a few rounds of each of these either at the start of the day or after sitting for a while.

Side Body Stretches and Twist: great for stretching the ribs, shoulders, and arms. Engage your core to keep from putting too much emphasis on your low back and lean to one side, stretching your arm as far to the opposite side as you can (without pain, discomfort is likely but if it feels sharp or painful back off).
Forward Fold (with an added twist in the lower back and wrist rolls): a simple forward fold is one of our favorite ways to get inverted. Taking a few deep breaths here can help decrease blood pressure and promote relaxation.

Bonus move - Child’s Pose. Great for opening the hips and relaxing the body. If this feels too intense you can sit on top of a pile of pillows. Work your way back slowly, ALWAYS avoiding pain but embracing discomfort.
