Here are the most important tips for stretching and strengthening tired, painful muscles: easy-to-chasing yoga positions that you can practice almost anywhere.

Thomas, Yogamatt Designer & Production Manager

"What I wear during training depends on how soft and comfortable clothing feels: I like to layer when running, and I have to have natural fibers like cotton on my skin: everything has to be absorbent and breathable," says Thomas. He helped in the design process of theYogamatter Men's clothing collectionand finds downtime for yoga between his daily tasks. "My favorite yoga pose is Child's Pose: it really helps me stretch my knees and relax after running. Great workout gear helps me regulate my body temperature and provides a great balance of gentle compression and range of motion."

Ivan, shopping manager of Yogamatters

"Sometimes mindfulness means for me to take a moment and put my hands on a table or sink," says Ivan. "But when I have more time, I usually try out variations from different yoga poses-many who practice many people-like downward dog or a variation, but I often find that I stretch to the front to train the knee tendons or the pigeon.

"I have tight knee tendons and Downward Dog is a pose that helps to stretch these muscles," says Ken. "I think that Pigeon pose relieves my stiffness in the lower back area by stretching my piriformis and groin muscles. These routes only last a few minutes, but work miracles for me. A headstand also helps to concentrate my mind and body- it also helps to calmly calm down. I often use it as a meditation form."

Kristijan, customer service advisor from Yogamatters

"What I really like to do is to stand on the edge of the stairs and to bend with straight legs and a slight bend, if necessary, to bend and touch my toes. If my muscles feel particularly flexible, I sometimes go to the toes," says Kristijan. "If I don't balance and stretch out, I think that simple long walks in the park with my dogs help me to stay calm and get my head free."

Keir, Yogamatters Operations Manager

"My favorite pose after a run or training - or even when I'm between two calls - is a frog pose and an extended triangle are my favorite pose," says Keir. "I always try to make a forward fold, regardless of whether I warm up or cool down."

Andy, Yogamatters IT Manager

"I've just started cycling again and all I can say is ouch: sore legs, sore back and sore wrists. As every smart cyclist knows, there are a few perfect yoga asanas to ease the feeling," says Andy. "Breathing and moving mindfully between cat and cow, followed by an extended Child's Pose, is a godsend for me. Another pose that helps me loosen my tight hips is Pigeon - it hits the spot."
