 Bibliography: 6 Yoga Exercises You Won’t Be Embarrassed to Do at Your Desk

by Linda Steinberg

I enjoyed reading this article as many of us have been glued to our desks recently to study or work. It is important that we make sure our bodies have a rest from the work that we put them through.

Because of this the Great Monkey had to feast on many fruits to satiate the hunger it always felt. However, one day the Bodhisattva realized that it had ate all the delicious fruits on its side of the Ganges and while she was looking for more nourishment the Bodhisattva spotted the abundant fruit trees on the opposite side of the Ganges, but there was just one problem: the Great Monkey did not know how to swim.      To get to the other side she needed help and decided to ask the male and female crocodiles who lived in the Ganges to help her get to the other side.
