Posture

Slouch much? You're not alone. We've got your back (literally) with yoga poses that make good posture positively easy.

Posture Correctors help you improve your posture by pushing your shoulders back and aligning your spine. This can lead to you experiencing less stress, tension, and back pain and can even improve your performance at yoga class. Most posture correctors can be worn above or below clothing and are designed to be discreet and easily hidden. Note: It is normally recommended to only wear a posture corrector for a few hours each day. To help you find the best posture corrector on the market, we’ve pulled together a list of our favorites for you to pick from.
