There are numerous practices, like yoga and pilates, which are beneficial for your overall alignment, flexibility, and postural health. But what they don’t tell you about this kind of exercise is that they are most beneficial only if you enter into them with a certain level of awareness about your existing posture and alignment.
Yes, regular practice of yoga CAN positively impact your posture as the spinal muscles become strengthened to support a more upright and erect spine. But it’s important to begin these exercises from a place of correct alignment to ensure you don’t continue to practice compromise movement patterns. This hugely minimizes the effects of the practices and can actually be more hindering than helpful.
It’s no wonder that professional athletes are turning to functional movement exercises and yoga practices in their time outside of official training hours. The general basis for this being that the more awareness and understanding of our own physical bodies we have, the more effective any kind of movement exercises will prove.
