Yoga Standing Asanas for Balance and Posture

A slouchy posture leads to our chest muscles contracting and therefore over extended back muscles which cause back and neck pain.

A slumped over posture makes balancing poses very difficult, as when we slouch our body weight tends to carry us forward. When we learn to stand tall and balanced in Vrksasana , Uthita Hasta Padangushtasana and Natraj Asana we can carry this feeling into our every day posture and thereby reduce stress and aches and pain.
