YFG Tips and Tricks

So Yoga for Geeks was not on the agenda for NetSquared. 

But then late yesterday I was asked whether I'd like to offer a "Tips and Tricks" session for people to come around and drop into, and I agreed. Other offerings were things like "Tuning Your MySql Database", "CSS Tips" and "How to Blog", so I figured a space for a little bit of stretching out would be welcomed. ;) It's been an intense couple of days, after all.

It was quite different from what other YFG sessions have been, as this one was not a class per-se, but rather just people coming and going and asking about sore spots and trying things out on the fly. It turned into a bit of a "skill-share" actually, with everyone exchanging tricks for combatting desk fatigue. I got some great new ideas for future sessions  – thanks to those who came out!

We did some work with chairs, and some stuff on the floor. We stretched our wrists, necks, shoulders, backs, and even our eyeballs. And then... (this was sheer brilliance)... someone had the idea of doing a little massage circle. Oooh, it was great. Look for that one at many future Yoga for Geeks sessions!
