Undo hours of sitting. Targeted stretching, gentle movement, and deep relief for desk-bound bodies.
Find Your ClassIf you spend 8 hours a day at a desk, your body is paying for it. Tight hip flexors, compressed spine, rounded shoulders, chronic lower back tension - these aren't problems that a standing desk alone will fix. What your body needs is intelligent movement: stretches that target the exact muscles shortened by sitting, and strengthening for the ones that weaken.
At Goyoga, several class styles directly address the physical patterns of office work. You don't need to be flexible or have any yoga experience. These classes meet you where you are:

If you are dealing with back pain, choosing the right class makes a real difference. Hatha Yoga is alignment-focused and teaches you to stand, sit, and move in ways that support your spine rather than stress it. Yin Yoga targets the connective tissue around your hips and hamstrings - the muscles that get chronically tight from sitting and pull on your lower back. Slow Flow offers gentle, continuous movement that restores mobility without jarring your joints. All three are offered regularly on our weekly schedule.
One important note: if you are dealing with acute or sharp pain, it is best to avoid jumping straight into a vigorous class like Ashtanga. Start with something gentler - our gentle yoga classes are designed for exactly this. And always let your teacher know about your back before class begins. Our teachers are trained to offer modifications and will help you find the right depth in each pose. You can also try a morning class to loosen up before the workday tightens everything again.
Yoga classes give your body the deep work it needs, but what you do between classes matters just as much. Set a timer to stand and move for two minutes every hour at your desk. Even a simple forward fold or a gentle twist in your chair can prevent tension from building up. Walk during lunch breaks instead of sitting through them. Keep your screen at eye level so your neck is not constantly angled downward, and drink enough water - dehydrated muscles and discs are stiffer and more prone to pain.
The most important thing is consistency over intensity. Two gentle classes a week will do more for your back than one intense session followed by nothing for a fortnight.
