Anwen Meditates - A Steemit Health Channel // Today: Yoga At Your Desk
Hi friends! If you didn't catch my last post, I am creating a new tag #anwen-meditates to post my own health videos and tutorials. I am creating a Steemit health channel - all of my videos and tutorials are for the wonderful users of Steemit! I am planning on sharing many tutorials, including yoga, guided meditations, breathing exercises, and more. I am also uploading the videos to YouTube in the hope of attracting more users to Steemit.
I have been practicing yoga and meditation for 8 years now, and these practices have been critical in shaping who I am today. My constant practices have brought me inner peace and stability during crazy times, have healed physical and emotional injuries, and have taught me how to be PRESENT!
I am really excited to be able to share these practices with you all. I am first going to share tutorials and videos that you can do right now, wherever you are. These can be used as breaks from the information overload of Steemit / life in general, when you wake up, before you go to bed, or really any time at all :-)
This particular video is called "Yoga At Your Desk", and is designed for those of you who still have a desk job (like myself) and need a little break. It focuses on opening up your chest and relieving any shoulder/neck tension. It also includes some nice lower back stretches, because sitting too long compresses our spines (not good for those of us with sciatica). A short 6 minute yoga break, like this one, can really help increase our blood flow and productivity (great for that afternoon work slump). I hope you enjoy, Namaste :-)
That first picture is an example of raising the bar in terms of Steem specific quality. Way to go!
Thanks!
Such a relaxing practice! I will use this when I have been steeming for too long :D I love the video. Could you make one that is slower? so we can spend some more time in each position, and maybe a little more relaxing and slow music? Just my personal preferance, do it as you feel is best :)
Thanks so much for the suggestions! I will make a "yoga at your desk version 2 - slowing it down" :-)
that would be awsome! Sorry for making you work so hard :D If it is too much then just forget about it.
No problem at all! It might take a few days but I'm super happy to make it, and always open to suggestions :-)
These are wonderful instructional posts.. I've been following and getting inspired.. keep it coming!!
Thanks so much that means a lot :-) I plan on making many!
I love your posts! And I think it's just awesome to spread the magic of Yoga. Keep on doing the great work :)
Thanks so much! I will keep on trying to spread the magic :-)
Thanks for the video and pictures. As someone who spends a lot of time at their desk during the day these tips will really help.
I have a question though: what is your view on the big round balls people sit on? A few people have them where I used to work and they say it helps a lot too. Im not so sure, I think things like that can be a gimmick!
cheers
I'm glad they will help :-)
Hmm...for the balls I know that people use them because it engages their abs the whole time while they are micro-balancing, so that is a plus as it keeps the body engaged. However, I also know that your posture sitting on a ball may be worse for your lower back than sitting on a supported and well-fitted chair.
Nice post ツ
Thanks :-)
