Modern lifestyles often involve long hours sitting at desks, using computers, and looking at mobile devices. Over time this can lead to poor posture, muscle imbalances, and tension in the neck, shoulders, and lower back.
Yoga can be particularly beneficial for posture because it improves strength, flexibility, and body awareness.
Research published in International Journal of Yoga suggests that regular yoga practice can improve spinal flexibility and muscular balance, both of which contribute to better posture.
Yoga also strengthens the deep stabilising muscles of the core and back that support the spine.
