As someone who sits at a computer 12-16 hours a day - HELL, YES.
Just a SUPER simple routine that goes through like, I don’t know, 4-6 ‘poses’. I mean it’s really just ‘stretching’ at that point - as opposed to holding an asana and ‘being mindful’ or what-have-you. Totally keeps me, limber, I guess is the word? Not to mention it’s a GREAT way to get the blood flowing in a mid-day slump.
If I’ve got other, specific pain/tension going on, I incorporate another pose or two into the routine. 10 minutes tops - typically closer to 2-4 - I try to do it at least once a day, probably only succeed at that 3-4 times a week - but absolutely yes, ESPECIALLY when I’ve got stuff going on - like, I’m sitting at the desk too long, slouching, and my lower back is starting to get unhappy - I get the hell up, stretch that shit out, and when I sit back down I have proper posture and my core engaged and I’m no longer making my back unhappy!!
