It is important to sit quietly for a few minutes and concentrate on your breathing. It is important to connect the body, spirit and mind. Close your right nostril with your right thumb and inhale deeply with your left. Then exhale. Repeat with the other nostril.
Stretch your hands on both sides up to your ears, as you inhale. Drop them down to the side in their normal position, when exhaling. The process should be gradual and raising/dropping of hands should follow your breathing.
When you are sitting ensure that your hips and knees are at right angles. Sit straight and tall at the edge of your chair. These exercises will make you refreshed and re-energised. Try to include office yoga two to three times a week.
