Release shoulder and mental tensions, with a short Shoulder Shrug exercise. Practice it at work or home!

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).

Take a break from your home office or at home, for a 10 to 15 minute live yoga class . I show some wall adaptions and point out how you can use your desk for example, for downward dog pose (if you are not comfortable putting weight on the wrists.) I always like to show that Yoga is accessible, and for everyone, even verbally if I’m not doing the accessible yoga versions.

Namaste,

Stacie

There are so many benefits to yogic relaxation. Restore the body and mind with simple progressive relaxation. It's different and often more refreshing than a nap!

Guided Relaxation 10 min video to ease the nerves, relax the mind and body and restore energy as a break throughout the work day. You can practice this at home offices lying down, or in quiet office with privacy,  sitting in a chair.

Enjoy a 20 minute guided relaxation break to relax the body and mind. Refresh and restore your energy so you can concentrate at work and enjoy the work day more! This also helps you sleep better and feel more peace of mind.

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)

Learn a simple walking meditation, to try outside at lunch hour or in a quiet conference room. This helps you relax and focus the mind.

Enjoy!

"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.
