CHENNAI: Work from home. What came as a much-needed respite brought with it a laidback lifestyle and an onset of health hazards. Stiffness in the shoulder, pain in the neck and back, strain in the spine...and whatnot.
If this wasn’t enough, also came along slouching, drooping, or slumping of the shoulder, taking a toll on our posture. But few things seem not impossible for course-correction, even in these COVID-19 times. And that’s an assurance Rohini Manohar, founder of Chennai Yoga Studio, holds for us through some basic asanas. All you need is a chair and some space to practise them once every hour.
