Thanks so much for this tip, this was a lifesaver today with a really sore upper back from sitting at the desk. i had a regular length yoga strap but was able to adapt it to this approach by threading a belt through the rings at the end.
Ty so much. I've been trying to work on my posture without a strap but a back brace but that has not been very successful. I have to constantly remind myself not to slouch when sitting or standing.
Ah thank you very much for this one. Another good thing for my job since I do Data Entry Work. I always try to keep my shoulders back but I feel like I always have to be conscious about it.
Such a great tip! Much better than the commercialy available shoulder aids. Easier to adjust. 8 foot = how many meters? I often get pain in my knee on thin and hard yoga mats. There are hardly, if any, thick and soft yoga mats around which protect the knee or other joints. Any suggestions for this problem?
I am very happy with my Manduka Eco mat, It is a rather thick rubber mat which can be used both as a thick - yet firm - mat to practise standing poses on or flipped over for a softer side to cushion your joints. No matter which side you use it lays still, and provide good grip (once you've wiped it down a few times). In some poses you can use a folded up blanket to protect your joints.
Incline fit mats are great... they're really comfortable and thick, and also very affordable. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JNAUW9C?keywords=yoga%20mat%20incline&qid=1457997351&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2
@@southernsoul9287 in reality, you should not use it for very long, since it's best to build your own muscle strength over time - but, as a guidance for the right posture, this is great
Hi, but isn't this backwards? Don't we want to have a slight impulse of the shoulders being pulled forward so the muscles in back see "hey i need to pull back" rather than "oh i don't need to do anything and just let it round forward"?
