Moves to improve posture

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey. I'm Coach Andrea. And I've got three amazing moves that will help improve your posture. A lot of us sit all day long, whether it's on the couch,

at the computer, or when we're on our phones. These moves will really lengthen out your spine and help you feel a few inches taller.

All right, we're going to start in child's pose. So I want you to spread your knees towards the edge of your mat, keeping your big toes together.

Walk your hands out. And allow your hip bones to just stretch towards your heels, as that forehead floats downward.

Shake out those shoulders just a little bit. And allow yourself to breathe. And then melt deeper into this pose.

You might feel your head starting to get near your shoulders. So walk that spine out, keeping the forehead nice and long

as it reaches out towards the edge of the mat. Take another deep breath in. Exhale, melt those hips back towards the heels

just a little bit further. We're going to take one more deep breath here. Really sighing it out.

And as you do, I want you to press into the ground. And you're going to rise up to tabletop. So your shoulders are going to be over your wrists.

You're going to draw that belly in towards the spine, keeping your neck nice and long. And then we're going to transition into cat cow. So you're going to drop that belly, looking up to the sky,

pulling those shoulder blades toward your tailbone, and then tilting the head over, drawing the belly up toward your spine.

Then drop the belly. Open the chest to lift the head. And then exhale over. Draw in the belly, and wrap those shoulders.

Release the head. You can move through this on your own breath. You can pause in one of the positions.

Or just transition with us. Let's do two more times. Inhale, lifting up.

Last time. Exhale over. Really press that heart through the spine. And then find a flat back as we move

into kneeling chest opener. So you're going to come up onto your shins, lifting up nice and tall. Interlace your fingers at your tailbone.

And draw those knuckles down towards your calves as you open up the heart towards the sky, rolling those shoulders back, taking a big breath in and out.

You might even feel like your fingertips want to reach even further towards the ground. Deep breath in and out.

One more time. Big full breath, feeling everything open up. And on your exhale, allow yourself to just release,

shaking everything out. Again, I'm Coach Andrea. And I hope that you are feeling a little bit taller and ready

to take on your day. See you next time.
