As we head into the busy autumn and winter months, it’s easy to let exercise fall by the wayside - particularly if you’re sitting at your desk for most of the working day. With client calls, case updates and paperwork making up the bulk of your tasks, our own wellbeing can slip down the to-do list.
That’s where a few minutes of straightforward, desk-friendly movement can make all the difference.
In this Growth Series session, Guneet shares five easy chair yoga poses, also available as a downloadable infographic, that you can do right now from your seat, without needing a mat, yoga clothing, or any disruption to your day.
We also guide you through Anulom Vilom Pranayama — a calming alternate nostril breathing technique often used at the end of chair yoga sessions. Sitting tall with relaxed shoulders, you gently close one nostril with your thumb, inhale slowly through the other, then switch sides to exhale. Repeating this for 5–10 rounds helps calm the nervous system, sharpen focus, and create a sense of balance before moving on to your next task.
These gentle movements are designed to release tension and improve posture, all while boosting your much-needed energy levels throughout the day.
These exercises are perfect for building healthy habits, resetting between appointments and encouraging your team to do the same.
Watch the short video and download the printable Top 5 Chair Yoga Poses infographic to keep at your desk or share with your team. A few minutes of movement could make all the difference to your day.
