How to Improve your Posture with Yoga? (Posture Month)


Several health issues can linger due to having poor posture. Yet, doing exercise specifically for your back can improve your posture. One form of exercise is yoga. Yoga helps stretch your muscles and gives relief from back pain. Many yoga poses are good for the back such as the Half Frog Pose.

The Half Frog Pose makes you stretch your thighs and ankles while it improves your back. If you can not touch your toes to do this pose, you can use a strap. If you want to do a more advanced frog pose, you can do the Downward-Facing Frog Pose. This pose also is good for strengthening the lower portion of your back. Also, you can release the tension from all your muscles by doing this pose.

Another yoga pose that improves your neck and back is the Fish Pose. The Fish Pose stretches the muscles from your neck, shoulders, and thighs. This pose can also be done with two-blocks for your shoulder and neck. Before you try yoga for improving your posture, consult with your doctor especially if you have injuries, migraines, or if you are pregnant.
