While you know that yoga is good for your body, do you know how to relax with simple moves right at your desk? Here are few yoga poses that will help you relax and reboot while at work.

If you are sitting on your chair facing the monitor, just move the chair backwards a little and try this simple pose. Move to the edge of the chair with your body slightly bent forward, hold the chair on either side and lift your body up. In this pose, you will be few inches above the chair engaging your abdominal muscles with your shoulders balancing your entire body. Take two to three breaths and get back to the chair, then repeat it twice or three times as needed, according to Health.

Christine Chen, a TV anchor, turned into a yogi suggest in her book "Happy-Go-Yoga: Simple poses to relieve pain, reduce stress, and add joy" that  "wrist wrestling, this motion of making an infinity symbol with their wrist interlaced so it gives the wrist a little massage; it gives things a stretch and then you can proceed," reported Fox News.

Taking a deep breath, raise, stretch, and clasp your hands, lean your body towards the left side, and then switch to the right side after taking five to six breaths every time, suggests Health. Mimicking the way you turn to talk to your colleague sitting behind you, turn your body backwards, positioning yourself at the edge of the chair. Use your left hand to hold the left top corner of the chair, twist your body to the left, take five to six breaths, and turn to the other side. Repeat the pose a couple of times to relax your shoulders and back.

Place your left ankle on the right leg on the floor, straighten your shoulders, and bend forward. Take five to eight breaths and straighten your back again, switch sides and repeat the same three to four times.

Chen suggests the "unbreakable you" pose in which fingers are interlaced with the thumbs pointing upwards holding the hands right at the navel. "Unbreakable you" is done to boost your confidence and supress nervousness, noted Fox News. She also added that, "If you do Unbreakable You in an elevator you are literally going from one level to the next. And it's a moment in time that you can kind of steal for yourself."
