Stretching is one of the best ways to relieve tight muscles and reduce stress. There are several simple standing and sitting stretches that can be done in the office or during coffee or lunch breaks.
NECK STRETCH: Sit upright without letting your back touch the back of the chair. Align the head directly over the spine and feel the crown of the head lifting. Hold onto the side of the chair seat with the left hand. Breathe in, and, on an exhalation, drop the right ear toward the right shoulder without lifting the right shoulder or turning the head. Take several breaths in and out, feeling the stretch on the left side of the neck.
To create a deeper stretch, place the right hand on the left side of the head to gently pull the neck away from the shoulder. At the same time, hold firmly onto the chair with your left hand and draw the left shoulder away from the neck. Visualize the neck lengthening and the muscles along the vertebrae relaxing. Hold the pose for at least five more breaths, then massage the neck and shoulders with the left hand. Slowly release and switch sides.
This description comes from the article "Easy Stretches for the Office" by Elise Miller (Yoga journal, May/June 1993). This article was one of the handouts for the "Office Yoga" session presented last week. It is available in Library Personnel.
