Explore the Top 15 Office Yoga Poses for Improved Workplace Wellness

In our busy professional lives, long hours at a desk can take a toll on physical and mental health. Stiff shoulders, back pain, and stress are common complaints. The good news? You don’t need a yoga mat or studio to find relief—just a few minutes and your office chair.

At Rudrakshaa Yogashala, a leading Yoga Centre in Singapore, we believe yoga should be accessible anywhere—even at work. With our range of classes like Hatha Yoga Singapore, Tranquil Flow Classes, and Fierce Flow Sessions for Women, we also provide tailored Private Yoga Classes for professionals who need a personalized touch.

Let’s explore 15 effective Basic Yoga Poses you can practice right at your desk.

Top 15 Office Yoga Poses

1. Seated Cat-Cow Stretch

Inhale to arch your back (cow), exhale to round your spine (cat). This improves spinal flexibility and eases back tension.

2. Seated Forward Bend

Sit tall and fold forward over your thighs. This releases lower back tension and stretches the hamstrings.

3. Seated Spinal Twist

Place your right hand on the back of your chair, twist your torso to the right. Switch sides. Enhances spinal mobility.

4. Wrist and Finger Stretch

Hold one arm out, gently pull back on fingers. Great for those typing all day.

5. Eagle Arms

Cross one arm over the other and bend at the elbows, palms together. This stretches the upper back and shoulders.

6. Neck Rolls

Drop your chin to your chest and slowly rotate your head side to side. Relieves neck stiffness.

7. Seated Side Stretch

Raise one arm and bend sideways. Helps with tight obliques and improves posture.

8. Shoulder Rolls

Lift your shoulders toward your ears, then roll them back and down. A simple way to reset posture.

9. Ankle Circles

Lift one foot off the floor and rotate the ankle. Improves blood circulation.

10. Seated Pigeon Pose (Figure Four)

Cross one ankle over the opposite knee. Stretches hips and glutes—ideal for long sitting hours.

11. Leg Extensions

Extend one leg at a time straight out under your desk. Engages your core and quads.

12. Seated Chest Opener

Clasp hands behind your back and lift your chest. Counteracts the hunch from sitting.

13. Palm Press

Press your palms together in front of your chest. Simple but energizing.

14. Deep Belly Breathing

Inhale deeply into your belly, hold, and exhale slowly. A proven stress reliever.

15. Eye Yoga

Focus on a distant object, then something nearby. Helps reduce screen fatigue.
