Take a second and do a quick body scan. Are you sitting or standing up straight? If
youre a bit hunched, try rolling your shoulders back into the shoulder joint, lengthening
your spine from your tailbone to the top of your head, and taking a deep breath. Its
natural to collapse your upper body because it can feel easier. Your core wants to take a
break from holding up your body, and your muscles want to relax. Although that may feel
nice for a second, over time it leads to poor posture and a tired chest.
These yoga poses will make you walk, talk, and stand proud. Start with the relaxing
extended puppy pose, and work your way up to trying all the poses this list.

Lift up onto your hands and knees, aligning the shoulders over the wrists and hips over
the knees. While keeping the hips over the knees, walk the hands out in front of you
without letting the elbows touch the ground. Rest your forehead on the floor or on a
blanket and reach your tailbone up and back while keeping a slight curve in your lower
back. To feel the spine lengthen in both directions, press the hands down and stretch
through the arms while pulling your hips back toward your heels. After five to ten breaths,
sit the hips back onto the heels, returning to Childs pose.
