Digital Skills Festival 2024: Yoga for Desk Workers with feather and rock yoga
Working at a desk or computer all day takes its toll on the body and the mind. This 40 minute online session will help to alleviate achy shoulders, necks and lower backs with simple exercises that gently stretch and strengthen. feather and rock invites you to carve out some time during your working day to use your computer for your positive well-being.
What will you need?
The session will be hosted online so make sure your laptop or device is plugged in so you don't loose charge in the middle of a posture. Please wear comfortable clothing (cosy jumpers and socks are recommended for the relaxation). If you have a yoga mat - roll it out, if you don't a towel or dressing gown will be fine. Bring a blanket to wrap around you in the relaxation.
This session is well-suited to ...
Anyone! The poses are tailored to be particularly helpful for people who work at a desk a lot, but will benefit anyone and everyone. All poses are optional, and an easy/hard version will be available.
About the facilitator:
Jodie (founder of feather and rock) has practiced yoga for almost 20 years, and has learned styles in both India and China, before completing her 200hour Yoga Teacher Training on the Baltic island of Hiiumaa, Estonia. Wherever she goes in the world, yoga comes with her, as a way to slow down, connect the body and the mind, keep healthy, and even to just stretch after a long day.
Her classes are a hybrid of Eastern and Western-style practices, and her sole focus is making people feel good. She is trained in Vinyasa and Hatha yoga, as well as in the Special Yoga technique which helps people with autism through yoga and breathwork. She hosts group sessions as well as 1-1's with people who need help with insomnia, fatigue, menopause, training for a marathon, and everything in between...
feather and rock was set up as a way to bring yoga to 'every body' with focus on the feel-good factor rather than the Instagram-able poses that we see on social media. The feather reminds you to bring a lightness to your mind whilst the rock is a reminder for the body to remain grounded.
