Bringing Yoga to the office is the object of this neat, compact workbook, Desktop Yoga. If you've got five minutes in your day to devote to Lusk's simple and effective exercises, your work day will seem like less of a burden. Great for relieving stress! A must-have!

The cover blurb on this book says it all: "For office slaves, Internet addicts and stressed-out students." (ha! I am all three) If you are like me and have looked at many a Yoga book but put them aside due to the difficult positions/instructions or the time involved, but still want to feel better, relax and also rejuivinate, AS well as relieve the symptoms of the computer age, then this is the book for you. A definate must-buy!

I think this book should be in every office drawer, especially for those of us who sit at computers all day long. This book really does what the title says, you can perfom many yoga poses in your office no matter what you're wearing.
This short book covers breathing techniques, proper posture, quick yoga poses that can be done anywhere at any time. If you're always feeling tired and stiff at work, pick up this book and try a few of the suggestions. I take a 10 minute "yoga time out" every hour and I find that I'm less sluggish and less stressed.

This is a wonderful resource that helps me get through every day at work. My headaches and neckaches are better since I started using the yoga stretches and breathing techniques. It has taught me how to powernap to revive me from feeling exhausted, and has given me lots of tips on how to cope with change, handle stress, and enjoy life more. A lot of helpful information is packed into the useful book. Thank you very much.

Desktop Yoga is a wonderful self-help book that is practical and useful. It gave me easy-to-follow things to do to relieve my aches and pains from spending too much time on the computer. Learning to take power naps from her book have given me the boost I needed to get through a long day. Go ahead, treat yourself to this book. It will pay off!

While this book provides great descriptions of the positions, there are very few images for reference. For one to truly practice yoga, posture and alignment are extremely important -- if trying these positions without a guide, you may not receive the same benefits. Ask your yoga instructor to go over the proper postures before you practice them on your own.

I like this book because it gives you quick exercises you can do at your desk. Sometimes I use them when I begin to feel pain. I look in the book and go to the section that contains the area that hurts and just slowly do a couple of sets. Then I relax and in about 10 minutes I do them again. After a while I can feel some relief. I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue so sometimes by body hurts everywhere. I will do some of the exercises in my car on the way to work or I will go into my car at lunch and rest with my ipod playing some relaxing music or guided imagery. Usually helps enough so I can finish my day.
