How does Tadasana (Mountain Pose) improve your posture?

Quick 2 mins! Tadasana exercise to help you improve your posture. Let’s delve into the key benefits of performing this simple yet effective pose.

– Shoulder Relaxation: It encourages the relaxation of your shoulder muscles, reducing tension that can lead to rounded shoulders and poor posture.

– Spinal Health: Tadasana gently stretches and lengthens the spine, encouraging a straighter back.

– Hip Flexibility: This pose enhances flexibility in the hips, and targets the hip flexors, which can become tight from prolonged sitting or poor posture.

– Neck Alignment: Tadasana encourages you to align your head and neck with your spine, reducing strain on the neck muscles.
