yoga for printing

I’ve mentioned that I am a yogi. I have a very devoted vinyasa practice. But wait, does this relate to printing? It totally does. You need to be strong to operate a press. Back in the day, printing was seen as a man’s job. Pulling the various levers, lifting and especially setting up a chase on a Heidelberg takes some serious upper body strength. Even if you are already strong and printing is a piece of cake for you, you can benefit from yoga by making yourself more flexible. A supple body is a lot less prone to injury. Namaste, printers!
