Yoga at work

Often it is difficult to find time to exercise due to hectic work schedules. Do these simple, yet powerful yogic exercises to beat fatigue at work, says yoga guru Surakshit Goswami


Stand or sit in a relaxed posture and keep your back straight. As you inhale, lift your shoulders and try to touch your ears with them. As you exhale, let the shoulders drop. Repeat 10 times.
Stand or sit, comfortably. Inhale and raise arms sideways, keeping the palms facing down. As you exhale, bring arms down to your sides. Keep your feet firmly planted. Next, inhale and raise arms sideways, palms facing upwards. Rotate only your shoulders in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions, 10 times each.
Stand by your workstation. Invert your palms and place them flat on the table, so that your fingers point towards you. Now stretch the forearms and wrists.
Stand by a wall. Put your arms on the wall, palms touching it and fingers facing up. Try to look as far right or left as possible by moving only your shoulders. Your palms should not leave the wall and your feet should stay firmly planted on the ground. Breathe normally.
