Revitalize and perk up your afternoon in 60 seconds (1-minute class)

When the dreaded afternoon slump hits, try these refreshing moves from Rebecca Keane, a yoga instructor at Thomas F. Chapman Family Cancer Wellness at Piedmont.

Bring your feet a little wider than hip-width apart.
Inhale, using your whole breath to carry your arms up overhead.
Touch your palms together, then bend at the waist, dropping your head toward the floor with arms extended out.
Either drop your hands all the way to your feet or modify the move by placing your arms on your thighs with bent knees. Either version will give you a great stretch in the hamstrings and the hip joints.
Breathe deeply, drop your head and arms, and round your spine as you inhale and slowly return to standing.
Open your shoulders wide and bring your feet together in a mountain pose, a traditional yoga standing pose.
Close your eyes and take a couple of deep breaths.
Repeat as needed to perk up and revitalize yourself throughout the day.
