Here are some places you can pick up the moves:</div><div> </div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Art of Living: 6 Simple Poses</strong></span></div><div>The Art of Living hasn't forgotten that you spend half your life at your desk. Ideally one should get up and move at regular intervals but if one can't, at the very least some desk-bound stretches should help. Six moves are described in brief.and picturised here and you just need a glance to learn them. </div><div><span style="color:#0000cd;">http://www.artofliving.org/yoga/off-yoga-mat/yoga-office</span></div><div> </div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Yoga Journal: A Collection to Choose From</strong></span></div><div>Yoga Journal is a long-standing hub for all things Yoga.

Included are stretches to counteract tiredness from sitting in just one posture four hours. There are no videos here but a picture for each pose and a description. The annoying thing is you have to click to the next page for each bit. </div><div><span style="color:#0000cd;">http://www.beliefnet.com/Wellness/Health/Healthy-Living/Yoga-Poses-for-Your-Workday.aspx?p=3</span></div><div> </div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Befit: </strong></span>But let's head to YouTube where well-known Yoga instructor Sadie Nardini takes you through a 10 minute rejuvenating chair seated sequence that involves elongation of the spine.
