"Many of us spend a large part of our days sitting. Commuting, working at a desk, and scrolling on our phones. Without realizing it, we stand up from whatever task we were doing and feel the tension that's accumulated in the body and the mind. Although movement is essential for our physical, mental, and emotional well-being, it isn't always realistic to squeeze in a workout or make it to the yoga studio regularly."
"The good news is that even short practices, especially when done with some consistency, can make a meaningful difference in your life. A few stretches in bed, a walk during your lunch break, a short yoga class- it all counts towards moving your body and being a little less sedentary. 25-Minute Yoga Practice to Relax After Work This practice is designed to help you release stiffness in the body and unwind from the day, creating a clear and gentle transition into your evening."
"This is also a moment for you to pause, breathe, and let the workday go. So if you're ready to get on your mat and release the day, put on something comfortable and enjoy this calming practice. Come as you are. 1. Seated Neck Stretches Come into Easy Pose or another comfortable seated position. Inhale and lift your chin up toward the ceiling. Exhale and lower your chin toward your chest. Repeat that a few times."
Many people spend large parts of their days sitting, which accumulates physical and mental tension. Brief, regular movement can improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being without requiring long workouts. Simple actions such as stretches in bed, a lunchtime walk, or a short yoga class all reduce sedentary time. A 25-minute yoga sequence focuses on releasing stiffness and easing the transition into evening, staying close to the ground with adaptable, soothing stretches. The sequence opens with seated neck stretches that coordinate breath with gentle chin lifts, tilts, and hands-behind-head movements while avoiding force on the neck.
