🧘‍💼 From Desk to Downward Dog: Fix Your Posture with Office-Friendly Yoga

If your spine could send you an email, it’d say: “pls stop slouching, thx.” Office life may be great for your career, but it’s not doing your body any favors.

This week, we’re bringing the yoga studio to your swivel chair with moves that fit perfectly between back-to-back meetings. Because spreadsheets shouldn’t come with spinal regret.

💺 Feature: Slouch No More—Stretch Between Spreadsheets

Stuck at your desk for 8+ hours a day? Your spine is probably filing a complaint. But good news: you don’t need to roll out a mat in the break room or quit your job to fix your posture.

A few sneaky yoga moves between emails can reverse that cubicle crunch:

• Seated Spinal Twist: Loosens up the low back. Just twist gently from the waist while sitting tall.

• Neck Rolls: Release tension from Zoom overload.

• Desk Downward Dog: Stand, place your hands on your desk, and stretch your spine long.

Even 3–5 minutes a couple times a day can realign your spine, reduce fatigue, and keep you from turning into a human question mark.

Hot tip: Use calendar reminders to stretch like meetings—only way more enjoyable.

🧠 Posture Hack of the Week

The 90-90-90 Rule
Keep your hips, knees, and ankles at 90°. Bonus: Elbows too. Proper alignment reduces shoulder rounding and hunching.

😩 Office Aches Decoder

• Tight hips? You’re likely tilting your pelvis all day.

• Neck pain? Your screen’s probably too low.

• Lower back? You need a core cue—sit up like your mom’s watching.

📦 Stretch Without Leaving Your Chair

• Wrist rolls while reading emails 📧

• Seated cat-cow while waiting on that loading bar

• Ankle circles in meetings (silent rebellion)

💌 Reader Reboot

From Jenna in Minneapolis:

“Every time I hit ‘send,’ I roll my shoulders and look away from my screen for 10 seconds. It’s my mini reset ritual.”
