 | Every time I read the health section of the newspaper, it seems like there's an article about how detrimental it is to spend long hours sitting each day. But what if you turn your chair time into yoga time? Here's how. |

Yoga Stretches at Your Desk
If you sit at a desk all day, try taking a break to do these stretches a few times during your work hours. You can even set a timer to remind yourself. It's good for your health and can make your more productive.
| Chair Yoga Poses
Even more chair poses! Ten adaptation of traditional yoga poses that you can do while seated. Did you know you can do Warrior II in a chair?
| What is Chair Yoga?
Chair yoga makes this practice accessible to people who can't stand for long periods.
| Pose of the Week: Utkatasana - Awkward Chair
 I think I do utkatasana a little bit differently each time and it definitely feels different, depending on the day. Instructors also teach it differently, with the feet together or apart, with the emphasis on an upright spine or on a deep seat. So, although I strive for safe alignment, I don't worry too much about what this pose "should" look like any more. It's more interesting to observe what it wants to be on any given occasion.
