Hi Everyone,

We have arranged for a Desk Yoga Class to take place on [Insert Date and Time]. We warmly encourage you to attend! Here is what to expect:

What is Desk Yoga?

Desk Yoga is a type of yoga people can practice at their desks in office clothes. Inspired by Chair Yoga, Desk Yoga can be practised online or in person, in the office or at home.

Desk yoga is designed for desk workers of any age, flexibility and fitness level. It involves gentle stretching or more challenging postures, breathing exercises and relaxation techniques.

Desk Yoga benefits

When you practice desk yoga, you get the benefits of a light workout combined with benefits on your posture and the nervous system.

Like other types of yoga, desk yoga has many benefits that other sports might not have, including relieving pain (in joints and lower back), improving sleep, and reducing anxiety and stress. Twists and inversions could even help your organs (including your brain) function better.

Email 3 - the day before the class

The Desk Yoga Class is happening tomorrow at [insert time]! We really hope you can join us. Here are a few tips to get ready for the class.

How to get ready for a Desk Yoga class

- Pick a steady chair. If the only chair available is a chair on wheels, put the chair's brakes on if it has any, or try wedging it against the wall or between the desk and the wall to make it steady.

- Put gym clothes on or just take your shoes off, loosen your belt, open your shirt's neck and wrist buttons, and untuck your T-shirt to be able to move without being too constrained.

- Face your screen and put your phone on silent to enjoy the class without being disturbed

All you need to do is join the meeting via the calendar link. See you tomorrow!
