Proper posture is an important element of daily health that often is overlooked. Since many of us spend time sitting at a desk, driving, or even looking at our phones throughout the day, it’s important to reverse the prolonged forward postures that we constantly hold.  These yoga poses help to address mobility of the mid-back region, as well as develop strength in the abdominals and upper back muscles, which are essential for maintaining proper posture.

Try these poses, holding each for two to three breaths. On the one-sided poses, be sure to repeat on the other side!
