"I select the 30-second 'Monolith of Mastery' from Office Yoga: At Your Desk Exercises by Diana Fairechild. I'm surprised by how fast the mental and facial change this requires eases my tension. I'd give office yoga an 'A' for both the depth and duration of its effect on my stress."
R. Joseph Jalbert, Reader
"If you experience any kind of pain at home, at the office or during travel, Office Yoga is the companion you will be glad you took along. Its small size is convenient to a pocket or purse. You will be glad to have it when pain or stress strikes. The book arrived as I was about to leave for Munich. I threw it into my bag and used it just 14 hours later at the Auberstrasser Hotel. I turned to page 61, Headache/Neck Pain, did the exercise in two minutes, and the pain was instantly gone. Several weeks later, at home, the “Telecom Twist” exercise minimized my lower back pain so greatly that I could function again."
Canary News, Lynn Lawson
"Diana Fairechild has done it again: provided another concise, witty, informed, helpful guide to better health and performance." |

Office Yoga
AT-YOUR-DESK EXERCISES
By Diana Fairechild
Desk jobs are hard on the body. Working for long hours at a computer can cause back pain, headaches and mood swings.
Office Yoga helps the desk-bound to stay flexible, look better, keep the emotions on an even keel, and think more clearly in only a few minutes, and you don't need to leave your desk!
Office Yoga can help you to solve specific problems such as eliminating (without drugs) headaches, or neck, wrist or back pains.
Although based on traditional yoga, you don't need to be a swami to do Office Yoga. In fact, the exercises are easy and really fun to do. When your co-workers see you doing Office Yoga, they will likely want to do it, too.
Office Yoga is part of Diana Fairechild's personal wellness regime. Diana is the author of five books and over a hundred columns and she knows what it means to work at a keyboard. And she has practiced yoga since 1963; then continued to study it during over fifty trips made to India while working as an international flight attendant. |
