Improve Your Posture!!! Stretches to relieve stress and tension in your shoulders

[ras105]

I've never done yoga before, but my wedding is coming up and my mum has said that I really need to fix my hunched shoulders!! I've just done this video and I feel great! Sitting up straighter already. Back hurts a bit on the right hand side but I guess this is because I've lived with a bad posture for so long. Do you think if I do this regularly I'll have good posture for my wedding in 6 months?

@ras105 Absolutely! The best and most important exercise you can do is lying on the blocks. You can refer to my video for instruction. Try and do this 2x/day for 2-5 minutes and you will see and feel a difference in a week!

Get some blocks! The block exercise is the most effective to improve your posture and open the shoulders. Good Luck!

This is awesome.. I couldn't do the block thing but now I will buy some blocks.. However before the block exercise I felt great. My posture is pretty ok but after this it will be perfect.. I cant wait.

Absolutely! I have a student with that condition, and he has made great improvements in his posture . The most important exercise to perform even twice/day at first is the shoulder stretch lying on the blocks. You can do that one for up to five minutes each time. Good Luck, and keep me posted on your progress! Namaste, Jan

If I do this daily, will this fix my hunched back?

Thanks a lot for the tutorial...liked the innovative use of the belt ..!

Do you have any workouts for the hamstrings...I usually do the standard stretches taught to us in gym class as kids...are there any yoga moves for the hamstrings ?
