Does this sound familiar? You sit down to “just finish one task,” and hours later, you realize you haven’t moved. Your back is stiff, your neck feels tight, and your energy is drained.

If that’s you, you’re not alone. Prolonged sitting is one of the biggest culprits behind back pain and tension. The good news? Yoga can help!

Why Does Sitting Hurt So Much?

Sitting for extended periods compresses your lower back, stiffens your hips, and rounds your shoulders forward. Over time, this can lead to chronic pain, poor posture, and even decreased productivity.

Anti-Desk Yoga

Today’s practice is a mat-based yoga class designed to counteract the effects of long hours at a desk. The session focuses on:

• Back extensions to stretch and open up tight areas.
• Spinal contractions to improve flexibility and release built-up tension.
• Core-strengthening poses to support your back and improve posture.

The Benefits of Anti-Desk Yoga

• Instant relief: Stretching helps release tightness in your lower back and shoulders.
• Improved posture: Strengthening your back and core keeps you upright and supported.
• Renewed energy: Gentle movement boosts circulation and mental clarity.

This practice is accessible to everyone—you only need a yoga mat or blanket!
