What yoga will help to improve ones posture?

Answer by  ganesh (84)

I think one of the best yoga positions to improve your posture is Downward Facing Dog. This pose does a lot to stretch and strengthen your shoulders and upper back, so if you do it regularly, it makes good posture feel a lot more natural.

Practicing yoga can certainly help improve your posture. Yoga will help you to be more aware of your body movements and position, and will also strengthen the muscles in your back and shoulders if you do the right poses.

It's necessary to have a strong core to have good posture. Yoga as well as pilates will help with this. Poses that twist the core or resemble 1/2 sit-ups will strengthen it. Both the lightening pose and tree pose are especially helpful as they engage the shoulders as well as abdominals.

Yes, yoga will definitely help improve one's posture. In particular, yoga stances that strengthen one's core are the most helpful, as it's the core muscles that do all the "heavy lifting" in keeping your back straight and stomach in.

Yoga can improve posture because the body is strengthened though the different positions you are practicing/going through during a class or a video. Overtime muscular strength will go up. There are better exercises like back extensions, but you would have to go to a gym to have the right equipment to that these.
