Day 51, Deskwork

Yesterday I was at my desk for most of the afternoon and evening, and I could really feel it today. Tight legs, a stiff back, tense shoulders. I got the kinks worked out but it took a good hour of asana to get there. I am astounded that millions of people sit at desks all day every day and don't feel in their bones that it's messing them up. I have so many yoga students come through my doors who are almost ruined by their deskjobs. And most of them don't even realize that their skeletal-muscular structures are so out of whack until they see how different their poses look from other students of regular or good flexibility.

And more and more companies aren't providing healthcare, which is funny because it is the job that makes people sick in the first place.

I'm so concerned about this that I'm going to make a video this week or next. Not one of those "Do yoga at your desk" type of things. (Although those are better than nothing) But a straight-up, no holds barred presentation of exactly what happens to your body as you spend 7 to 8 hours in a chair looking at a screen.

Look for it this month on the YouTube Channel.
