All the exercises included in this yoga session can be performed sitting on your office chair or in a limited space, so attendees will be able to incorporate them into their daily routines once home. 

 

The physical part of the class is aimed more at people who live sedentary lifestyles or sit in front of a computer for many hours, targeting key areas where tension builds up (neck, shoulders, wrists, etc.) or body parts that go numb after several hours in a chair (lower back, glutei, thighs, etc.), whereas the pranayama (breathing exercises) are more for interpreters, public speakers or those who just need to calm their nerves to concentrate on their work or ensure a good night’s sleep.

Francesca Matteoda is a freelance translator specializing in the medical and pharmaceutical fields. She is also a qualified yoga instructor and nurtures a great interest in all things healthy.
