Yoga at Work: Embrace Big Movement in Small Spaces with Jessica Rihal

Finding time to care for yourself and your body can be challenging, especially for those of us spending most of our days at our desks. Incorporating yoga into your work routine can be a game-changer for your wellbeing. Jessica Rihal joined us at our Wellbeing session for "Unlikely Yoga - Big Movement in Small Spaces." Jessica showed us how accessible and impactful yoga can be, even in the most confined spaces.

Can I Do Yoga at Work?

Absolutely. As Jessica demonstrates, yoga at work is possible and powerful tool for your wellbeing and mindfulness. By focusing on seated stretches and gentle movements, Jessica shows that you don't need a yoga mat or a spacious room to start. A chair and a few minutes are all it takes to engage in meaningful practice.

Can You Do Yoga at Your Desk?

Jessica's session includes exercises like neck stretches, shoulder rolls, and wrist flexions that can be done right at your desk. These movements counteract the stiffness and discomfort associated with prolonged sitting, promoting circulation and flexibility without disrupting your workday.

Is an Hour of Yoga Enough Exercise?

An hour of yoga can be a comprehensive workout, targeting strength, flexibility, and balance. Jessica's practice underscores the importance of mindfulness and the connection between body and breath over the duration of the practice.

Bringing Yoga Into Your Workplace

Jessica’s session showed us the versatility and adaptability of yoga, highlighting that the practice is for everyone, regardless of space, time, or experience level. By incorporating these principles into your workday, you can enhance your wellbeing and contribute to a more positive and supportive work environment.
