Have you ever taken the time in order to look around you and noticed how many individuals stand hunched over? Whether our less-than-proper posture is owing to all the time spent hunched over computers, or if it just our nature that makes us want to protect ourselves, many of us suffer from poor posture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students of yoga often want to know if their practice of yoga can make them taller. While\u00a0<\/span>yoga\u00a0<\/span><\/a>is not going to make you grow, it can noticeably improve your posture, making you look taller, thinner, and more confident.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re a yoga beginner, it\u2019s surprisingly complex to master the art of rooting down through your feet while lengthening up through your spine, maintaining your chest open without jutting your lower ribs out, and keeping the leg muscles strong as well as lifted without tensing your belly or jaw.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mountain Pose<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mountain Pose (Tadasana) looks to be simple enough; however, when done properly, mountain pose is actually quite complex as it teaches you to sense when your body is in precise vertical alignment. It takes a lot of practice as well as correction in order to be able to do this by yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At first, you could be overcompensating for a tendency to slouch through pushing your shoulders too far back as well as sticking out your chest. This is not the purpose of the pose. Rather, it is to attain a neutral position where you are not leaning forward or back. You will also feel symmetrical on either side of your midline.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shoulder Opener<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This asana – with your hands interlaced behind your\u00a0<\/span>back\u00a0<\/span><\/a>– is a great shoulder opener. In order to obtain as much openness in the chest as possible, join your hands behind your back and then scrunch your shoulders up towards your ears. after this, let your shoulder blades slide down your back as you move your arms into a straight position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to stretch your hamstrings, slowly come into a forward bend over your legs while making sure that you keep your hands joined. Roll your shoulders towards the middle of your back. Extend your arms overhead.<\/span><\/p>\n
