Breathing on the Job: Yoga for working stiffs
Times are tough, and weíre all work-
ing harder than ever. For many of us that means weíre stuck at a desk for longer hours than ever. Desk work is hard on the body par-
ticularly when working with comput- ers. Most of us ignore the early warning signs of physical damage: the headache, the bleary eyes, the stiff fingers, the pain in the neck. But combine minor muscle stresses like these with long hours and in- creased mental tension, and we may find ourselves in crippling pain. I’m a yoga teacher, and many of my

students start a practice because of stiff- ness and pain caused by computer work. Tey think yoga stretches can help them. But yoga isn’t about stretching, really.

your breath, you may discover that cer- tain muscles are tenser than they need to be. As you breathe, expand these muscles with a few simple stretches. Interlace your fingers, and lift your
hands above your head, like youíre push- ing against the ceiling with your palms. Stand up. Interlace your fingers behind
you, and raise your extended hands as high as you can. Slide back your chair. Put both feet
flat on the floor. Lift your head as high as you can and then lean forward and down slowly, like you mean to brush against the edge of the desk with your hair. Keep bending until your chest in your knees; then round your back, let your arms hang, and release your head to flop forward. Remember to breathe. Te breath is
what cleanses. Te breath is what heals. Donít strain to stretch further. Te stretch simply improves your ability to breathe.
