Desk Yoga Reset

Give yourself a change of position after time at a desk. Step away from the screen and choose enough space to move freely. You have a full hour to practise, with familiar poses returning along the way. Keep your attention on how you feel, and take an extra rest whenever you need it. When you reach Constructive Rest, let the floor support you for 6 minutes before you sit up.
