Stretch opposite

As teachers, especially those who work with little ones, you are often looking downward at students. In addition you are likely looking down at textbooks, grading papers etc.

Take 1-2 minutes and stretch the opposite direction. For instance, pinching your shoulder blades together and looking up toward the ceiling. It gives your spine and muscles a break and helps prevent pain and poor posture.

Do this 10 repetitions and fit it in 3-4 times a day.
