Overview
Sitting at your desk for long hours in "chair pose" can lead to chronic pain all over. Luckily, there's a simple solution to prevent and relieve that tension -- practice yin yoga at your desk. A study published in the International Journal of Yoga found that yin yoga is designed to combat irritation, sadness, anxiety and mental sluggishness and improve concentration, making it one of the best antidotes to handle the stress of your desk job. Plus, you don't have to stop doing your work, be an experienced yogi or wear yoga pants. All you need is your desk, a chair and yourself (and maybe a co-worker to join you).
