Among the hectic work schedule, grocery list, and picking up the kids ... it's hard to find a moment in life to take a breather. So for all of you busy moms and career women out there, we found a simple move you can do just about anywhere at anytime. It will help clear your mind, fight stress and may even prevent disease. Here is famed celebrity yoga guru and now Fila Yoga Ambassador, Kristin McGee's easy yoga pose for a stressful day!

Lotus Preparation

- Lotus is the traditional seat for meditation. You can just sit comfortably in your desk chair, with your neck and spine straight and erect, to begin to calm your brain. 

- Place your hands palms up, with the thumbs and first fingers touching. 

- If practical in the office setting, practice crossing your legs to build up the lotus position. This will help free your spine from the stress of sitting at your desk all day. 

Note: Lotus is a two-sided pose, so be sure to practice both leg crosses.
