You may think that geeks are more into Half-life than contemplative life, more code-breaker than back-bender, but those long hours in front of the computer wreak havoc with posture and muscles and, let's just say it - chi. For the tension-filled desk-worker, a thorough session of Yoga feels like Nirvana.
For, Sarah Pullman, lover of both Yoga and technology, the combination must have been a natural one, and out of it has come her specialized class, Yoga for Geeks. She describes Yoga for Geeks as "a marrying of worlds - an opportunity for geeks of all stripes to unplug, unhunch and expand. It's a reminder to take a few minutes to find some balance between your body, your mind, and your computer". Sounds good to me! In fact, I did do a Yoga for Geeks session with her, back at the Northern Voice conference in the spring, and altho my body has since retreated into its cramped little corners, at the time it felt wonderful.
For the moment she unfortunately does not have a regular class, spreading her sessions out among local and international conferences. She does however, offer many tailored yoga teachings on her site, such as this one on restorative yoga for geeks, perfect to counteract long hours hunched over a desk.

I thought yoga already WAS for geeks.
