You don’t need candles, incense, special clothes or a mat. You can do this simple exercise right at your desk, to help work out the stresses of the day.

Agnistambhasana (Fire Log Pose)
Sit on your chair with your knees bent, feet on the floor.

Lightly shrug your shoulders upward, roll the tops of your upper arms back, and press the bottom tips of your shoulder blades into your back.

Maintain your sitting posture with knees bent at a ninety degree angle. Place your right leg on top of the left, but keep your right ankle outside (or past) your left knee so that the sole of your foot is perpendicular to the floor. (Kind of like how most guys sit with their “legs crossed.”)

Press through your heels and spread your toes. Keep your back straight and exhale, and bend forward from the groin – not from the belly. (You want to bend forward at an angle, keeping your back straight.)

You’ll notice your torso rise slightly as you inhale. When you exhale, bend forward just a little more. Hold the pose for a minute.

Inhale, sit back up straight, place both feet on the floor, and repeat, this time with the left leg crossed over the right.

Mild exercise like walking is such a great way to pass the time. An overflowing inbox. An over-stuffed hamper. (There’s only so many times those pants can be worn without washing them). In-laws coming. We all have times when stress seems to overshadow everything else. It doesn’t have to.
If you pull the covers back over your head and wonder, “why am I still so tired?”, read this.
