Back by Popular Demand!

Get a fresh start for 2010 with this gentle and revitalizing yoga program for technical communicators and anyone who spends a lot of time in office meetings, at a computer, or on the phone. Conforming our bodies to machines takes its toll. Even with the most ergonomically appropriate workspace, we often suffer from sore arms, shoulders, wrists, or backs. (Not to mention a sore butt from sitting on it all day!)

Absolutely no experience is necessary. This one-hour session, appropriate for any fitness level, will show you some simple yoga breathing and postures that you can do at your office—even in business clothing—to revitalize yourself during your work day, bringing energy and suppleness into your body, focusing your mind, and easing tension from your eyes and neck.

What to wear: Comfortable clothing is optional! Come in your work clothes to see how easy it is to pause and refresh your body and mind at any time in your work day.

What to bring: Nothing but your self. No yoga mats will be used in this class. No need to take notes: a handy reference sheet will be provided so you can take what you’ve learned to work with you the very next day.
