OFFICE YOGA is a survival handbook for the deskbound; a practical manual of simple movements which you can do a few minutes at a time throughout the day, to relieve the tension and stress of sedentary working life. It gives clear instructions and illustrations for sixty stretching and breathing exercises–simple, safe, and fun to do–most of which can be done sitting in your chair at your desk.

Doing Office Yoga will make you feel better. It will relieve and help prevent headache, neck-ache, backache, and eye-ache. It will improve your posture and breathing, replenish your vitality, boost your energy levels and improve your concentration.

Office Yoga also offers guidance on improving your personal working environment: chair, desk and lighting; and suggests how to make use of the time you spend travelling to and from work.
