Yoga you can do in a few spare moments in your day
This dreamy pose (not the one above, we hasten to add) can be done whilst the kettle boils. Stand facing the kitchen counter and place your hands on its surface, shoulder distance apart. Feet are hip distance apart. Hold onto the counter or table top and start to walk the feet backwards until your body is in an L shape, hinged from the hips. Keep some softness in the knees. If you’ve done yoga before, this is basically a standing Downward Dog variation. Keep the neck long, remembering it’s an extension of the spine. Hold for a few deep breaths, seeing if you can find length along the sides of the body. When ready, slowly walk the few steps back towards the counter and stand up.
If you’re inspired to do more micro yoga, you can read more about it from page 62 of our September issue.
