hey guys!

I'm new to the forum, I hope to find some new and interetsing stuff! I have just a quick question to ask :

Does yoga actually help with the form of posture, to help lengthen the back, and make it appear straighter?

Hi Taralee

I'm a relative newcomer to yoga, but I believe yoga does help posture, at least in the sense that it makes you more aware of your body and what it can do.  I also feel a sense of pride and accomplishment from my practise, and I know that makes me stand taller.  (Which I don't really need, being 5'11 already - LOL!)  Actually because I am so tall I have always been prone to slumping, and have noticed lately that I hold myself more upright now.

I'm sure the more experienced yogis and yoginis can chime in here and give you a more technical perspective than I!

Best to you!

Yes absolutely! It really trains you to stand up straighter and taller - no slouching! It's great for the spine.
