We are all unique, so you can modify and adapt poses to your own comfort level and needs, or rest and skip poses as you need. There should be no pain in the muscles or joints or any discomfort during the yoga exercises or poses.

10 Tips for New Yoga Students
Office or Chair Yoga short practice sequence. The lectures have videos to practice all of these poses.
30 minute Chair Yoga (seated) practice, as featured on Cable TV, with Stacie Dooreck. Yoga is for everyone! For beginners, seniors and all levels, ages and abilities. This can be done in a wheelchair or chair or can give ideas on how to adapt yoga poses at your desk (at work).
Learn how to concentrate and focus the mind, with yoga meditation techniques called "Eye or Candle Gazing". Practice it at work looking away from the computer, at a plain and neutral object, perhaps at a rock or flower. Ideally practice this in a quiet room, free from distractions. Turn the cell phone off! Enjoy relaxing the mind and focusing the mind.
Enjoy a full guided 30 minute meditation for lunch break, if at a home office that is quiet, or on weekends. If you have a quiet private office, you can also practice this in a chair or if comfortable, sitting cross-legged on the floor. If you are new to meditation, and feel the 30 minute practice is too long at first, start with 5 minutes and build up to 30 minutes a day. The inner peace and mental clarity you can feel with meditation is worth the disciple of practice. Enjoy your practice. Namaste, Stacie (your course instructor, and author of Yoga for Everyone! and online courses)
"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances of survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." -Albert Einstein
Enjoy some healthy vegan recipes. Learn how to eat and cook with kindness. Eating a vegetarian and vegan plant based diet not only helps the animals, but improves our health as well as the environment. Making choices to eat with compassion benefits the earth, the animals and our own bodies and minds.
Enjoy recipes for healthy eating ideas to bring to work, or to make at home. Yogic diet includes vegetables, fruits and whole grains, and is in harmony with the earth and the animals (no animals killed). Plant-based vegan or vegetarian diet can easily be apart of the work day for healthy meals.
Bonus video: for home practice and weekends, or a quiet office that you can take a 20 minute yoga break. Enjoy a 20 minutes of Gentle Yoga, all floor poses (no standing poses), with reflections on compassion for animals (yogic diet and Ahimsa). Filmed on Paradise Island, Bahamas, from the full Gentle Yoga course on the Yoga for Everyone! online school and Chair Yoga teacher training online.
Enjoy a 30 min Hatha Yoga practice, with Gentle Yoga options, to practice in a private quiet office on a 30 min lunch hour break or at home. It includes 15 minutes of yoga exercises and postures (asanas) including standing poses and Sun Salutations for physical health, balance, energy and strength, floor poses for flexibility and relaxation to calm the nerves and restore energy. Mixed level.
