7 Yoga Experts on How to Incorporate Yoga into Your Daily Routine

Use your surroundings as props to help sneak in some stretches in your day. Your chair, desk, walls, and anything else that surrounds you during your workday can all serve as helpful props to do some stretches. Even if you sit a lot during your workday, you can do a wide variety of stretches right from your chair including twists, neck/shoulder rolls, figure 4 hip openers, and even take a forward bend to get some fresh blood to the brain. You can use your desk to do stretches in the wrists, shoulders, legs, and even hip openers, or use a wall to help get some deeper stretches or to help do some balancing poses. You don't need to hold those poses a long time but staying in them for at least 10 deep breaths can help you reset and get great benefits.
