Talking about well-being, all of us may not suffer from any health-related issues, but hectic urban lifestyle and stressful work schedules have definitely spoiled our body posture.
If you feel a slight strain in your shoulders, or back pain after sitting in the office all day, you are not alone. However, all this is a result of having the wrong posture. So, this International Day of Yoga, let’s take a look at some yoga asanas to improve your sitting posture:
Uttanasana
Also known as Standing Forward Fold Pose, Uttanasana is a great stretching pose that takes the tension off your upper body. To do this, keep a gap between both the legs and bend your upper body without bending your knees and put your hands on the floor or grab your opposite elbows. Apart from improving your posture, it also stimulates the liver and kidneys while increasing digestion and if we talk about the mental benefits, it calms the mind, reduces stress and lowers blood pressure.

Bhujangasana
Known as the cobra pose, Bhujangasana enhances the mobility of the spine, strengthens the spinal support, and works wonderfully in relieving back pain. To attempt cobra pose, you should lie on your stomach, your hands under your shoulders, and push off the floor as you inhale and exhale. As you push up, you should slowly lift your upper body in such a way that the back of your body forms an arch.
Dhanurasana
Dhanurasana is also known as bow pose and is a bit similar to cobra pose. The only difference is that while doing the bow pose you should hold your ankles with both hands and lift them. And while inhaling, pull your thighs and upper body off the floor. Dhanurasana opens up your shoulders, relieves tightness and reduces sagging.
