Take time out, yoga-style

Yoga mats

When you’re uptight and pressed for time, this simple yoga posture will offer you instant rest and a recharge — even at your desk.

Sitting in a chair with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, lean forward with your trunk and rest your head and arms on a desk or table. Tuck your arms under your head for support and then turn your head one way, closing your eyes. Making sure you’re comfortable, begin to breathe for at least five slow inhalations and exhalations. Then turn your head the other way and do the same. Stay in this position for two to five minutes before using your hands to help you slowly sit up.
