"The purpose of our lives is to be happy."

 - Dalai Lama
June 2008 • 3rd Edition  

Yoga @ Your Desk

The shoulder is a complex joint, and the part of the body that bears the brunt of a day spent sitting at your desk. A few minutes of simple shoulder rolls can ease the tension that builds up in the shoulders and will also increase energy and clear the mind.

Take a moment to renew your mind and body during the day for increased comfort, ease, and productivity.

Shoulder Rolls

An awareness of the breath is key in practicing yoga and will enhance the positive effects of this simple exercise.

  • Sit in a comfortable upright position a little bit back from your desk and rest your feet evenly on the floor.
  • Start by bringing your shoulders down and forward. Pause.
  • Inhale as you raise the shoulders forward and up and then bring them to the center by the ears. Pause.
  • Exhale and bring the shoulders down and back, pulling the shoulder blades together. Pause again at the bottom.
  • Inhale as you roll the shoulders forward and up toward the ears again.
  • Repeat ten or more times. You can do this exercise with both shoulders at the same time or alternate the right and left shoulders.

Yoga Yoga Private Instruction

Yoga Yoga teacher, Jenn Woote, adjusts a studentThe study of yoga originated with the teacher instructing a single student, and lessons were personalized to meet the student's needs. At Yoga Yoga, we value the importance of one-on-one instruction. Each of our studios has a special room designed for private instruction, so students can get the attention they need.

You can take a private class with your favorite teacher, or we can suggest a match for you based on what you hope to get out of private instruction. Private yoga instruction is a great tool to develop your practice, whether you are new to yoga or an advanced student.

Personal instruction gives new yoga students a solid foundation that paves the way for a lifetime of safe practice. Students in private instruction have the opportunity to ask questions and learn modifications for postures that will suit their range of motion.

Veteran students can use private sessions to get guidance on postures that challenge them, and go deeper into the advanced poses that may not get much attention in a regular class.

Yoga Yoga teacher, Sadani, instructs studentAnyone can use private lessons to help them create a home routine, or to study yoga philosophy, meditation or breathing techniques.

For those looking for healing, Yoga Yoga's self care privates will tailor the practice of yoga to help address your symptoms, alleviate discomfort and restore balance. For more information or to schedule a private class, please contact Tori at privates@yogayoga.com.
