Dead Body Pose Bring Stress Relief to Web Hosting Workers

People who work in web hosting, especially help desk support or system administrators, spend a lot of time at their desk. So with that in mind, I thought I would share with you a simple yoga pose I picked up that might look a little silly, but it does help to de-stress you some.

The dead body pose in Yoga is an easy one for relieving stress.  It is pretty simple too.  You want to lay flat on your back on your floor.  Next, turn your palms up. Let your arms and legs fall to a natural relaxed position. Stay in this position for about five to ten minutes.

The main benefit of this pose is both mental and physical relief.  You want to try to clear your mind, and stop thinking about what has got you in this position in the first place.  After words, you should feel a little better and should be ready to go again.

  • Great suggestion Mitch - yoga is super for stress and with practice you can really get destressed in Corpse Pose. The hard part is learning to get past the mindchatter.
