🪑 Desk Detox: Chair Yoga Series – Pose 6
🧘‍♀️ Hip Opener – Release Built-Up Tension

Your hips carry the weight of stillness—let’s bring in some movement.
This pose gently opens tight hips, often stiff from sitting too long.

Sit tall on your chair with both feet on the ground.
Now, place one ankle over the opposite knee—making a number “4” shape.
Flex the top foot to protect the knee.
Feeling steady? Hinge slightly forward from the hips to deepen the stretch.
Hold for 3–5 deep, conscious breaths, then switch sides.

✨ Why this pose matters:
– Releases tightness in hips and lower back
– Improves circulation after long periods of sitting
– Supports better posture and spinal alignment
– Calms the nervous system

This is your moment to soften and stretch—right from your seat.

💗 Next up: A spacious Upavistha Konasana (Wide-Leg Stretch) to lengthen and ground.

💻 Desk Detox: Chair Yoga Series – Pose 5
💗 Heart Opener – Reverse the Desk Hunch

Let’s open up the space we often forget—the heart.
This pose is all about undoing the forward collapse from long hours of typing and texting.

Sit tall on your chair with both feet firmly on the ground.
Hold the sides or backrest of the chair gently.
Roll the shoulders back and down, open the chest forward, and lift the heart.
Gaze slightly up if comfortable.
Stay here for 3–5 deep breaths.

✨ Why this pose matters:
– Opens the chest and shoulders
– Reverses the rounded back caused by screen time
– Boosts energy and confidence
– Supports deeper breathing and better posture

This is your posture reset—simple, powerful, and perfect for any time of day.

🪑 Next up: A much-needed HIP STRETCH – especially important for anyone who sits for long hours.
Save this series, try it out, and tag a colleague who could use this heart-opening break.

💻 Desk Detox: Chair Yoga Series – Pose 4
🌈 Seated Side Stretch – Lengthen & Breathe

It’s time to move sideways — something we rarely do during long desk hours!

Sit tall on your chair with both feet grounded.
Hold the side of the chair with one hand for support.
Inhale, lift the opposite arm up toward the ceiling.
Exhale, lean gently to the side, creating space from hip to fingertips.
Keep both sit bones grounded. Feel the stretch along the side body and breathe into it for 3–5 slow breaths.
Repeat on the other side.

✨ Why it works:
– Relieves stiffness in the spine and waist
– Opens up the ribcage to enhance breath
– Helps counter poor posture and long sitting hours
– Boosts blood circulation and energy flow

It’s the perfect stretch to break out of your linear desk routine.
Try it now, and notice how much better your breath feels.

🪑 Coming up next: Pose 5 – the heart opener to reverse the hunch!
Follow this series, save for later & tag a teammate who needs this side-body love.

💻 Desk Detox: Chair Yoga Series – Pose 3
🌟 Deepen the Stretch – Interlace & Reach

Already feeling the benefits of Urdhva Hastasana?
Let’s take it one step deeper.

From the previous pose, keep your arms overhead and now interlace your fingers, then flip the palms to face up toward the ceiling.
Stretch your arms up while keeping your shoulders relaxed.
Lengthen through the spine and sides of the body.
Stay here for 3–5 deep breaths, gently growing taller with each inhale.

✨ Why do this?
– Deepens the stretch through the sides, shoulders, and spine
– Releases tightness from long hours at the desk
– Encourages better posture and breathing
– Feels like a full-body refresh without even standing up!

This tiny tweak = major relief.
Perfect for that afternoon slump.

🪑 Get ready for Pose 4 – we’re opening the chest and undoing that desk hunch next!
Save this series & tag your colleague who needs this daily dose of desk relief.

💻 Desk Detox: Chair Yoga Series – Pose 2
🙌 Urdhva Hastasana – Stretch Up and Energize.

Take a break from your screen.
Sit tall on your chair feet grounded.
Inhale as you raise both arms overhead, palms facing each other.
Keep the shoulders relaxed away from the ears.
Stay for 3–5 deep breaths, feeling the spine lengthen with each inhale.

✨ Why this pose?
– Stretches the spine and sides of the body. Brings alertness to the mind.
– Improves posture and breathing capacity
– Releases tension from shoulders and upper back
– Instantly energizes you in between tasks

This is your mid-meeting energy boost—no yoga mat required.

Try it now and feel taller, calmer, and more awake.

Ground Yourself

Before you stretch, pause.
Sit tall on your chair, feet flat on the ground, hands resting on your thighs.
Gently close your eyes and bring your awareness inward.
Take 5 deep, slow breaths
Feel the support of the chair and the ground beneath your feet.
Let go of the rush.

✨ Why start here?
– Calms the nervous system
– Brings focus and clarity
– Reduces mental clutter before you return to work
– It’s the reset button you didn’t know you needed

Start with 1 minute of mindful breathing and feel the difference.
Try it Friends 🙏

Yoga isn’t just about being on the mat; it’s in the way we balance, breathe, and move with awareness. Whether it’s an athlete’s focus, a dancer’s grace, or a child’s playful stretch — yoga is everywhere, if we look closely.

Grateful to witness this connection through these moments.

Do you think yoga is everywhere ?

01/07/2024

Join me every Tuesdays from 5.30pm-6.45pm (IST) on Zoom for a relaxing Restorative & Pranayama sessions.

Contact us @ +918089432230 for further queries.

Every class will start with Asanas which are done with props to enable the practitioner to hold the poses for longer duration. Using props will also enable to create space in the body with less effort which will later on help with the practice of Pranayama. Will conclude the class with various techniques for Pranayama and followed by a short seating for Meditation. OM🙏
