In this video, yoga expert Pavleen Gujral will teach you how to do easy stretches and yoga asanas from her Pavleen’s Urban Zen series to relieve tension, increase flexibility, and boost vitality. This video includes stretches to ease neck, back, and shoulder strain, yoga asanas to enhance posture and flexibility, and brief office-friendly exercises to provide immediate relief.
