Improve Posture for a Healthy Back

Due to sedentary lifestyles and poor habits in daily activities, many of us tend to have poor posture, exhibiting the traits of kyphosis, an excessively rounded upper spine, and lordosis, an excessively arched lower back. Because of its emphasis on proper posture, yoga can help reverse abnormal curves in the spine, correcting both the “hunchback” curve that occurs in postural kyphosis and the “swayback” curve that occurs in postural lordosis. What are the signs of bad posture? 🧘🏻‍♀️Rounded or slumped shoulders 🧘🏻‍♀️Forward head position 🧘🏻‍♀️Neck and shoulder pain and tension 🧘🏻‍♀️Tilted shoulders or pelvis 🧘🏻‍♀️Back pain and body aches 🧘🏻‍♀️Muscle fatigue and low energy A general yoga practice will help to promote good posture, but there are some yoga poses that will be especially helpful in cultivating alignment awareness, increasing flexibility, and building strength.  Tadasana Cat-Cow Stretch Cow Face Pose Seated Twist Cobra Pose Warrior Pose Plank Pose Bridge Pose

This is so important and useful. But i have one doubt, the habit of sitting in a bad posture has become so innate that if someone reminds me i will correct it but within seconds i will slip into my older position. Is there any tips or tricks to overcome this🙈

@Sakina Hashmi Wearing the posture corrector/brace helps in such case. The purpose of posture correctors are to train your muscles so that they stay in the proper posture.
