00:22First up is Mountain Pose, a foundational yoga posture that emphasizes body alignment and balance.

00:28Stand with your feet hip-width apart.

00:30Distribute your weight evenly through both feet, engage your core, and lengthen your spine.

00:36Lift your chest, roll your shoulders back, and let your arms relax by your sides with palms facing forward.

00:48Mountain Pose helps you stand taller and improves overall awareness of your posture.

00:52Cat-Cow Stretch

00:54Next, we have Cat-Cow Stretch, a gentle flow that increases flexibility in the spine and relieves tension.

01:00Start in a tabletop position.

01:02As you inhale, arch your back, lifting your chest and tailbone up into Cow Pose.

01:08As you exhale, round your spine, tucking your chin to your chest for Cat Pose.

01:13Move between these two poses for one minute, flowing with your breath.

01:18This movement helps loosen the spine and promotes proper posture.

01:22Downward-Facing Dog

01:24Downward-Facing Dog is a great pose for stretching the entire back body and strengthening the muscles that support good posture.

01:31From your hands and knees, lift your hips up towards the ceiling, straightening your legs as much as possible.

01:37Press your hands into the mat and push your chest toward your thighs.

01:41Keep your spine long and hold for 30 seconds.

01:45This pose stretches your hamstrings, spine, and shoulders, all of which contribute to better posture.

01:52Cobra Pose

01:53Cobra Pose opens up the chest and strengthens the back, helping to counteract the effects of slouching.

01:59Lie face down on the mat with your hands under your shoulders.

02:03Press into your palms, lifting your chest off the mat, but keep your elbows slightly bent.

02:08Open your chest and draw your shoulder blades together.

02:12Hold for 20-30 seconds, breathing deeply.

02:15Cobra Pose helps reverse rounded shoulders and improves your posture.

02:26Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet hip-width apart.

02:30Press into your feet and lift your hips towards the ceiling, keeping your shoulders grounded.

02:35Hold this pose for 30 seconds, squeezing your glutes at the top.

02:39Bridge Pose helps to stabilize the spine and aligns your posture by strengthening your back.
