Baby Backbend
While sitting at your desk, place your feet flat on the floor. On an exhale, press your palms into your thighs and extend your spine, bringing your chest up toward the ceiling. Keep your neck long. Inhale back to starting. Repeat up to 8 times.

Give Yourself Some Love
From a comfortable seated position take a deep inhale and on the exhale gently wrap your arms around yourself, dropping your chin to your chest and lifting your chest toward your chin. Inhale your arms open and repeat alternating which arm is on top.

Cow Face Pose (Arms Only)
From your chair or a seated position, extend your right palm up toward the ceiling. Reach back with your left hand and try to clasp the fingers of your right hand behind your back. If they don’t reach, try using a scarf or just hold your shirt. Try to keep the neck relaxed, and extend the elbow up toward the ceiling. Breathe for 5 breaths and switch sides.

Wrist Love
Bend your right arm so that your elbow is next to your body and your palm is turned up. Take your left hand and hold the fingers of your right hand, exerting a slight pressure on the fingers. Inhale here and on the exhale, slowly bring the right fingers down toward your legs. Inhale back up and repeat 5 times. Switch sides.
