Before I became a yoga teacher,
I worked sitting at a desk all day.
Long hours.
Little movement.
Constant pressure.
Over time, it broke me down —
physically and mentally.
Neck pain.
Shoulder pain.
Back pain.
Fatigue that never really went away.
If I had known then what I know now,
maybe I wouldn’t have had to stop.
Maybe I could have kept working — without sacrificing my health.
That’s why I’m sharing this.
I don’t want you to repeat the same mistake.
If you sit for long hours, your body doesn’t need more motivation —
it needs better movement.
These 5 simple exercises are what I wish I had done every single day:
1️⃣ Wake up your thoracic spine
2️⃣ Restore movement and circulation in your wrists
3️⃣ Reactivate your glutes so your lower back doesn’t overwork
4️⃣ Activate and strengthen your psoas — not just stretch it
5️⃣ Support circulation with calf raises, your “second heart”
You don’t need more hours at the gym.
You need daily resets.
Just once a day can change how your body feels,
how you work,
and how long you can keep doing what you love.
Please take care of your body —
it’s the only place you have to live in.
Remember:
Motion is lotion.
