janinekaczynski	My spine is naturally curved. I am at a loss as to how to keep it in alignment. I do practice awareness in posture. I just sprained something lifting (a pallet of glass) and it is a hard to figure out what to do (western doctors love to keep you) so who is right?
knan	I have been practicing/teaching yoga since the '70s and while many of my cohorts shrink, I have been able to maintain height into my mid 60's. No thoracic curvature of my spine either...the same back of my youth. Yeah Yoga!
Justin	Though its not necessary, what Adrian said, pictures wouldnt hurt :) But the article by itself is so helpful because I think I was suffering from posture problems and this really set me on the right path to better back health.
