The Yoga Pigeon
Sitting for long periods of time shortens the muscles in the hips and buttocks, which restricts mobility and can lead to back pain, knee and foot problems and poor circulation in the long term. Anyone who has ever practiced yoga is certainly familiar with the pigeon asana – hardly any other exercise stretches the hips so effectively. Instead of rolling out the yoga mat right away, you can also incorporate this exercise into everyday life while standing: To do this, place your right calf sideways – with your knee pointing to the right – flat on a raised surface (e.g. the desk) with which left leg firmly on the floor. Place your left hand on your right ankle, your right hand on your knee, then bend forward and twist your upper body slightly towards your right foot. Hold the position for regarding three minutes and then repeat on the other side.
