Stretch at Your Desk: Right Angle Stretch

Stand at edge of desk. Bring your palms, faced down, flat onto desk, fingers extended.
Inhale and stand up tall.
As you exhale, walk your legs back away from desk, lowering your upper body so that it is parallel with the floor, forming a right angle with your upper & lower body. Keep your head framed between your arms. Try to align your hips directly above your ankles.
Take 3-5 breaths, thinking about lengthening your spine and gently pressing your chest down.
Inhale and while keeping your gaze forward. Exhale and bend your knees to walk back to desk.

*Tips: Move slowly and deliberately. Coordinate your breath with each movement taking care not to overstretch. If it hurts – don’t do it!
