Get ready to stretch, breathe, and boost your work performance with these simple yet effective poses!
Adham Pranayama (diaphragmatic breathing exercise)
Stop for a while and pay attention to your breath. Adham pranayama, also known as diaphragmatic breathing, is a powerful technique that will help calm your mind, increase the flow of oxygen, and energize your body.
how to do it:
Stand straight with your hands on your waist and feet shoulder-width apart
Inhale slowly through your nose, raise your hands towards your head
Exhale completely, bring your hands back under the waist
After exhaling, keep your hands in a relaxed position.
Repeat this exercise focusing on deepening your breath in the abdomen.
By taking deep, conscious breaths, you oxygenate your brain and provide it with the fuel it needs to stay focused and alert.
Sukhasana (Easy Pose)
Finding comfort and ease is essential when it comes to boosting productivity. Sukhasana, or easy pose, allows you to relax your body and mind while maintaining a stable posture. It helps to release tension in your muscles and allows you to block out distractions.
how to do it:
Sit down with your legs stretched out in front of you
Cross your right leg over your left thigh, and then cross your left leg over your right thigh
Keep your hands on your knees or in chin pose
Keep your spine straight and rest in this sitting position for 5-10 minutes
Ardhapadmasana (Half Lotus Pose)
Achieving balance and harmony within is the key to unlocking your full potential. Ardhapadmasana, or Half Lotus Pose, helps you find inner balance and harness your productivity. This seated pose is a bit more challenging than Sukhasana, but it can be very beneficial for improving balance and focus. By practicing this pose, you cultivate a sense of calm and tap into your creative and productive potential.
how to do it:
sit with your legs spread
Bend your right knee and place the right foot on your left thigh
Bend your left knee and place the left foot on your right thigh
Keep your hands on your knees or in chin pose
Maintain an upright posture and rest in this sitting position for 5-10 minutes
Try these asanas. Your mind, body and productivity will thank you!
