VCU RamStrong Well-being blog

Giving VCU employees the wellness resources they need to be healthy both on and off campus

If you need to reduce stress at your desk, look no further than a good stretch! Throughout a typical day, it’s normal for tension to build up in our shoulders, neck, and back. Doing a few simple yoga moves can help relieve that tension – and you can do it while seated in a chair! This Monday, spend a few moments stretching your muscles and letting stress go!

The benefits of exercise as stress relief are well-documented, but it’s understandable if you can’t always get up and take a walk during a stressful day. Fortunately, you can still engage in some light physical activity without having to leave your work station or desk. Any movement is good for your body as well as your mind; it will get your blood flowing and direct more oxygen to your brain.

JOIN VCU HR AND REC SPORTS THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 6TH FROM 12 NOON TO 12:45 PM FOR CHAIR YOGA. THIS WILL TAKE PLACE ON THE MCV CAMPUS, LARRICK, JACKSON WARD ROOM. REGISTER IN TALENT OR CONTACT CINDI AT CPHARES@VCU.EDU
