But fear not, desk yoga is here to help you stay limber, improve your posture, and reduce stress right at your desk. Let's dive into some simple yet effective desk yoga poses that you can incorporate into your daily routine.

1. Seated Spinal Twist

Start by sitting up tall in your chair. Place your right hand on the back of the chair and your left hand on your right knee. Inhale as you lengthen your spine, and exhale as you gently twist to the right. Hold for 30 seconds and then switch sides.

2. Desk Shoulder Opener

Interlace your fingers behind your back and straighten your arms as you lift them slightly. Take a deep breath as you open your chest and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Hold for 20-30 seconds, breathing deeply.
