Have you ever gotten up from your seat in the middle of the day and realized your body is stiff and achey? Do you crave movement but aren’t sure how to get a quick fix in the middle of your work day? Do you wish you could take a yoga break every couple hours, but don’t have the convenience of a studio nearby (or time)?

If you’re like one of the millions and millions of people who sit most of the day for work, you’ll want to try adding this quick routine into your day.

Short movement breaks are a great way to break up the monotony of a long project and help get your blood moving and your mind clear.

These yoga stretches are simple, effective, and will help you release tension that you’ve developed in your shoulders and legs from sitting for long periods of time. They’ll also help you build strength in your core.

I recommend doing these stretches daily if you can. It’s just 5 minutes!

Enjoy!
