Write-up: 

Whether studying or working in an office we spend most of the day sitting down. We spend hours typing away, looking at a monitor and repeating these motions over and over without taking a break.We can’t always do much to avoid this excess sitting, but we can destress ourselves with desk yoga. This helps to keep our joints and limbs nimble, and avoid excess tension and stiffness at work. When we’re stressed, we hold it in our bodies. Gentle movement unwinds this physical discomfort, encouraging relaxation.

Students have learned Dirga Pranayama, techniques, Mindful Mudra and other asanas / postures to destress and relax.
