I can hear you groaning, but presence of mind improves creativity – follow our maxim “Mind Like Water”
And you will follow it into the body-mind.
If you’re shooting a long day your shoulders are going to be tightened up by the strain of holding your camera, and the camera around your neck.
If you’re having a normal day of 6-10 hours behind the computer screen your posture is equally at risk of hampering your creativity, lowering your mood, and keeping you from reaching your highest creativity behind the screen.
My suggestion is a break every two hours – pick two of these poses and do 10min of YOGA every two hours. This set of poses will help bring back range of motion and open tightened areas from desk-work or shooting. If the posing doesn’t elevate your mood – just do 40 situps and 20 pushups to get your blood flowing and come back to the desk and feel your new clarity!
