Problem!

Hey Peace Lovers!
Hope you're all doing well :)
I'm having a bit of a problem .. I'm kind of new to meditation, aside from the distractions that I'm trying to overcome day by day, I have muscles problem!
You see, my job requires long hours of sitting in front of the computer, so when I sit down to meditate I feel pain in my back (specially that I'm not leaning on anythings and trying to keep my back straight) and if I stay for long I start feeling pain in my legs!!
Is there a solution to that? Or will practice help improve this?
Thank you :)

Hi Shereeen,

Stretching before and after meditation helps a lot to lengthen the muscles and prevent pain...
When you meditate a lot stretching is an essential part of preparing for sitting.
Here is a helpful exercise you can do at the office
