5 Minute Desk Workout with Becycle

A 5 minute mix of breath work and stretches specifically designed to break up the endless Zoom marathon, email replying, number crunching strain we submit our bodies to day after day. Reinvigorating mind and body to prepare you for the rest of the day.

 

1. Breathing

Rapid breath to wake the body up.

 

2. Relaxing breath

Breathing in through the nose, out through the mouth. Moving arms as well to flow with the breath. Then shaking the wrists to release tension.

 

3. Wrist stretch & Back opener

Stretching the wrists and then rolling to release. Followed by a crow pose to open and release tension in the upper back.

 

4. Chest Opener, Lower/Upper back release & Neck stretch.

Flowing with your breath to open the chest and release into the exhale for a backstretch to release tension and hunching at your desk. Followed by gentle neck stretch and head rolls.

 

5. Standing full body roll down 

Large breath in raising arms to hinge forward with long arms to forward fold. Grabbing elbows and rock side to side to lengthen spine and release. Roll up each vertebrae with chin to chest. Repeat a second time, opposite elbows in fold, and rock forward and back. Rollback up to standing.
