Chair Yoga

When you sit (or, more accurately, slouch) for long periods of time, the muscles in your back weaken, while the muscles in your chest and shoulders get tighter.

This short Chair Yoga practice stretches the tight muscles in the front of your chest and shoulders, and helps strengthen the muscles in your upper and middle back. Practiced regularly, you'll notice an improvement in your sitting posture, with more openness across the chest and greater length in the spine.
