Online Yoga for Better Posture and Alignment

Over time, our posture changes because of our daily activities (and we're not even aware of it) and because we work several hours a day in front of a computer. In a live yoga class, you become aware of the patterns he/she has formed and can do something about them gradually.

How Yoga Can Support Better Posture

Improve Body Awareness. Strengthen Supporting Muscles. Develop Better Alignment Habits.

Improve Body Awareness

The first step to yoga for good posture is awareness of the body – often just being aware of how you're sitting or standing is the first step towards changing the way you do it.

Strengthen Supporting Muscles

Yoga for body posture also strengthens muscles which carry your spine, particularly running in the back and core.

Develop Better Alignment Habits

True improvements in yoga for alignment occur every day, and hygiene habits are small changes that are repeated day after day.

PRACTICE

Yoga Poses for Posture Correction

People tend to seek yoga for posture correction for two reasons: strength and awareness. Both are developed by these poses.

Yoga Poses for Back and Shoulder Alignment

The focus of this class of yoga asanas for posture is designed to open up the chest and build strength in the upper back muscles. The whole upper back can be rounded due to sitting for long periods at the desk.

↗

Yoga Asanas for a Straighter Posture

Some yoga for good posture that follows is aimed at negating neural spine, and this varies for each individual body – so there's no one right posture.

↗

Gentle Practices for Desk Workers

Shorter and easier sequences are particularly helpful for yoga for straight posture and yoga for back posture in a long day at work.

Real-Time Alignment Feedback

As misalignment is something that is not always obvious to the misaligner, feedback is therefore of importance to the activity in real time. Your teacher observes your posture as you walk, and helped you with that, as does no one but you in most online classes, nor can you identify your own weak spots.

Modifications Based on Your Movement

All corrections are based on your individual movement type and not a list of cues that may or may not apply to your body.

LIFESTYLE FOCUS

Posture-Focused Yoga for Different Lifestyles

Yoga for Desk Workers

Short sessions for those who spend long hours at a desk, to undo all the effects of a desk based day.

Yoga for Beginners

The beginners' class focuses on posture, all the way to building awareness and then strength building.

Yoga for everyday movement.

Practice helps get mobility into the routine, allowing everyday mobility practices to feel easier over time – sights of bending, reaching and walking are made regular.

OUR APPROACH

ShiHa's Approach to Posture

People don't need to flex their backs to the point where they straighten. It is often said that 'posture correction is a habit of the mind, not the force', and Master Alok has also given many talks about how one cannot change without being aware of what he/she has to change. We assist you to realise how the everyday posture-building actions — sitting, standing (and moving) — impact posture. It is this awareness that makes a correction last after a session.

WHY SHIHA YOGA

Why Choose Shiha Yoga for Posture Improvement?

- A small class size and actual attention given personally to students, not a large class where each student is lost in the crowd & shades in the background.
- Workday flexibility (across timezones)
- Small groups of learners, individual attention
- Education based in traditional yogic and Ayurvedic knowledge
- There's no substitute for that recording, that's a really hard habit to break, and that's feedback that you can't get in real time.
