Your posture can greatly affect your circulation and your breathing rate which can lead to power energy levels. With the wear and tear of the day one can easily find oneself slouching in their desks with ones shoulders hunched over. With the poor posture one adds shallow breathing which limits the oxygen to the mind and leads to slower & foggier thinking.
By simply opening your chest and opening your heart, you will greatly improve your posture allowing yourself to take a deeper fuller breathe. With the improved posture it will improve your circulation and lead to many benefits such as improved focus, concentration and help you feel great!
Here’s a few fun exercises that you can do throughout the day to open your heart.
Morning: Forward Bend against the Wall
-Place your hand shoulder height against a wall or counter top.
-Step a large step backwards with your hips over your legs at a right angle.
-Begin with your knees loose as you enjoy 10 deep full breathes.
-To go deeper into the pose, simply straighten your legs.
Afternoon: Hands Behind Your Head
-Interlace your fingertips behind your head, press your head against your hands.
-Reach your elbows away from each other as you open your heart up towards the sky.
-Enjoy 10 deep breathes here.
-Repeat with your other hand on top.
Evening: Back Opener with Blanket
1. Energizing Back Opener
-Roll a blanket or towel wide enough for your shoulders.
-Place blanket parallel under your shoulder blades.
-Open your arms up shoulder width
-Relax and breathe during your favorite song
2. Restorative Back Opener
-Place blanket long against your spine.
-Open your arms up shoulder width
-Relax and breathe
A couple minutes in the morning, noon or afternoon can greatly improve your posture and circulation. With the bigger deeper breathes you’ll enjoy more energy throughout your day.
