But what if she could incorporate little yoga moves into her daily routine, would it help her get through a crazy day at the office without a tension headache? Or could she stave off that afternoon tingle she gets in her upper back? The one that means she's been sitting in front of her computer for far too long.

Amy Luwis and her Yoga to the Rescue: Remedies for Real Girls card deck say yes! And Girlawhirl, who's kept a set in her desk drawer for a couple of weeks, definitely agrees. With 48 yoga poses divvied up into seven categories, Girlawhirl can always find a pose for whatever is ailing her. After a quick warm up, an extended leg stretch can do wonders for that tension headache, even if Girlawhirl can't get her head to touch the floor in between her legs like the drawing on the card shows. There's always an easier option for every pose, and in this case, just bending forward and resting her head on her chair works too.

The Yoga to the Rescue deck has become the talk of the office, with co-workers stopping by for poses to regain their balance (mental and physical), soothe frazzled nerves, and even increase confidence.  And for extended practice - or crisis - there are Mega Benefit Sequences that combine poses to achieve optimum results.

Girlawhirl found her Yoga to the Rescue deck online at RescueGirl.com.
