Good posture is an important part of healthy living.

Here is how to use the wall to your advantage with this standing forward bend over the leg. This is a challenging pose lengthening both your hamstring muscles and your outer arm and chest. Relieve your back pain in minutes.

So slide your yoga mat up to the wall and give it a try.

Experiment with your distance from the wall. Just remember, feet are legs length apart and your spine needs to form a straight line from your fingertips to your tail. Let me know how it goes!

Here is part 4 in the series, how to create better posture with yoga.

Good posture can be elusive for many Americans as so many of our daily activities have us bending forward or “stooping over” in some fashion.

Slide your yoga mat up against the wall. This pose is a variation of warrior 1 or Virabhadrasana 1. We will use this pose to completely open the front thigh and chest in order to extend the spine and bring relief to the neck and shoulders. Use this pose as a stand alone when you have been at your desk for more than 2 hours and un-crimp your spine!

Pelvic Lift or Setu Bhanda Sarvangasana is an excellent single pose for those of us who spend time sitting…

This pose will help increase the length of your psoas muscle and releive back pain.

When performing this pose …

raise your hips only as far as you can without loosing the tuck of your tail and action of the buttock. Then your lower back will release.

Part 4 of the yoga Posture series will post next week.
