Give yourself a change of position after time at a desk. Step away from the screen and choose enough space to move freely. Let familiar poses be chances to listen rather than push. You can pause the timer, take a rest and rejoin when you are ready. When you reach Constructive Rest, let the floor support you for 2 minutes before you sit up.
