What makes yoga a high-quality work break?

As well as being a great way to move your body and relieve the many physical issues we get from sitting at desks, studies have shown that yoga can help reduce stress and lower cortisol levels, while also increasing our energy levels and improving our mood.

According to Harvard, doing yoga strengthens the areas of your brain involved in learning, memory, attention, awareness, thought, and language.

Slower forms of yoga, such as hatha and nidra, can help you drift off to sleep after a stressful day.
