Yoga for People Who Sit All Day

Hey!  That's me!  For work, I sit aaaallll day at my computer, and even though I know I should get up and take regular movement breaks, I don't do it as much as a should.... because, you know, there's always some "urgent" email awaiting my attention.  If the same is true for you, give this yoga series, from Yoga with Adriene, a try.  I did and I loved it!  It doesn't take much space to do, either, and it's only about 10 minutes long, so it's perfect for a quick movement break in your cubicle, or the corner of an empty conference room.

This standing sequence will help you reset, refresh, and reconnect with your body.  Whether you’ve been at your desk, on the road, or simply taking it slow, consider this your invitation to get back into the flow.

Research continues to show that long periods of sedentary time are linked to increased risk of heart disease, metabolic issues, chronic pain, and other health concerns.  Even if you exercise regularly, extended sitting can still take a toll on the body.  The good news?  Small, regular movement breaks throughout the day can make a meaningful difference.

Adriene will move you mindfully to wake things up, stretch it out, and invite fresh energy in. No need to overthink it.  Just show up, stand tall, and get moving.
