People who work at their desks all day tend to stay in one position for a long time. The exercises in these videos are designed to counter the effects of sitting at your desk.

We suggest that you start with Part 1 below and then move on to Parts 2 and 3. Each video short enough to use during your work breaks, lunch hour or active breaks.

You may view the Yoga @ Your Desk video by using YouTube or streaming video (.mov), or saving the file (.wmv).
