The allure of a person is often more about their posture than their size! Even the best figure can lose its charm with slouched shoulders and a curved back.

Long hours sitting at a desk, staring at a computer or phone, can easily lead to poor posture. During work breaks, try these two simple exercises:

1. Stand with your back against the wall, push against the wall with your right hand, rotate your body to the left, and lean forward. Hold for 10 breaths, then switch sides.

2. With elbows bent at your sides and palms facing up, slightly lower your wrists below shoulder level. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and push your chest forward. Hold for 5 breaths and repeat 3 times.

After work, try these 9 yoga poses at home to strengthen your back and improve your posture:

1. Cobra Pose: Lie face down, feet hip-width apart, and bend your elbows with palms beside your chest. Lift your shoulders and extend your neck. Hold for 10 breaths.

2. Single-Leg Locust Pose: Lie face down, stack your forearms, lift your chest and chin, raise your right leg up and back, flex your foot. Hold for 10 breaths, then switch sides.

3. Locust Pose Variation: Place your hands by your ears, open your elbows, and inhale while lifting your chin and chest. Hold for 10 breaths.

4. Locust Pose: Lift both legs up and back, extend your arms behind you, palms down, chest up, and open your shoulders. Hold for 10 breaths.

5. Bow Pose: Lie face down, bend your knees, reach back to grasp your ankles, lift your chin and chest, and push your heels away from your buttocks. Hold for 10 breaths.

6. Elbow Plank: Feet hip-width apart, interlace your fingers, align your elbows with your shoulders, engage your core, extend your neck, and keep your legs straight and strong. Hold for 1 minute.

7. Side Plank Variation: With your right elbow on the ground and aligned with your shoulder, place your right foot on the ground’s outer edge, stack your left foot on top, and place your left hand on your hip. Open your chest and hold for 1 minute, then switch sides.

8. Reverse Plank: Sit with feet on the ground, knees aligned, and hands behind you, fingers pointing forward. Inhale and lift your hips, creating a straight line from thighs to chest. Hold for 10 breaths.

9. Bridge Pose: Lie on your back, feet on the ground, knees aligned, and hands at your sides. Lift your hips, push your chest up, and hold for 10 breaths.

Slouching happens because the back muscles are passively stretched and weakened, while the chest muscles are overly shortened. Practicing these poses will strengthen your back, open your chest, and help you stand tall with a graceful posture that truly shines!
