Desk-ercise with Portland Brown

The positive benefits of yoga are undeniable; relieve tension of the neck, shoulder and lower back caused from sitting at a desk all day, improved posture, increase in productivity levels and the general well-being of employees.

We’ve been encouraging everyone in the office to take a moment to try out some desk-ercise, and you can find them below to try it too!

	Seated Crescent Moon Good for: A deep side stretch Lift your arms overhead and stretch your fingers wides Lead to one side, taking 2-3 deep breaths Repeat on other side for another 2-3 deep breaths
	Chair Pigeon Pose Good for: Balance While seated in your chair, both feet flat on the floor Cross one leg over the other at a 90-degree angle. Maintain equal weight distributed between the sitting bones while sat upright. Hold for 5-10 breaths before switching sides to repeat
	Seated Spinal Twist Good for: Spinal mobility Turn to sit sideways in your chair with both feet flat on the floor Twist your torso toward the left (hold the back of the chair for a spinal twist) Hold for 5-10 breaths, lengthening your spine as you inhale Turn 180 degrees to stretch the other side & repeat.
	Wrist & Finger Stretches Good for: releasing built-up tension in fingers, hands & wrists Circulate wrists inwards & outwards for 5-10 circles Then apply downward pressure on each palm – hold for 5-10 breaths

I had an incredible stay with Portland Brown for 2 months! The staff was always very attentive even at the last-minute to my needs and requests. I really felt at home and wish I never had to leave. The apartment was always very clean and almost everything you need was already in the apartment which was fantastic. The Portland Brown staff also helped me with storing my luggage and carrying my heavy luggage to my room. Thank you so much Portland Brown team!

The apartment was modern and spacious. The cleaning service was excellent. They let me know beforehand if anything was relevant to me (such as needing to enter for repairs, pre-check-out inspection, etc). It was a good stay.

Attentive to fixing issues when they arose, and were mindful of our circumstances when booking appointments (baby nap schedule).

You guys provided us with summer refreshments in our fridge as it was quite hot then in London during our visit.

I appreciate your prompt response to emails and quick reaction to problems!
