Whoa, nelly! My posture sucks!

October 3, 2006 by amanda Leave a Comment

Today I was enjoying my day, and all was lovely.  I finished working out and decided to go look up some more yoga information on the web.  I was trying to sit with good posture, but couldn’t find a good position.  Then I stumbled on this article on the Yoga Journal website.

Rewind: A couple of weeks ago we went to Six Flags and dh took a ton of pictures.  I noticed that my posture looked a bit hunchy and “yuck” so I’ve been trying to be aware.  My shoulders looked a little slouched, and I didn’t like that.

I was keeping that in mind as I read the article.  I figured that I must need to work on some yoga postures to enhance my daily posture.  Then I did their spine test.  That beautiful thing taught me that not only are my shoulders hunching forward, but I have a swayed back too.  Grrrreat.  I’m bad on both ends!

So now I’m walking around the house while trying to be aware of my swayed back (which apparently is the issue I should work on first).  As I was thinking about it, I remembered something: Right after my pregnancy I kept thinking about how swayed my back had become.  Apparently I just accepted it and moved on though.  What an oaf!  I can’t believe I’ve been walking around like this!

I guess I have some new exercises to add to my practice.  Not surprisingly, they are postures that normally give me a hard time.  I guess that makes it even more obvious that I need to work on it.

So the lesson to be learned here is that you should evaluate your own hunchedness, because apparently even your friends and family won’t tell you  :P  Thanks for nothing, everyone!  😉
