As more people adopt working from home, side effects of long periods of sitting at the computer with incorrect seating and posture are back or neck pains, body aches, muscle fatigue, or headaches. Although there’s a range of ergonomic chairs, standing desks, knee chairs, lumbar pillows and other items designed to help postural issues available today, people still struggle with postural alignment.
It is time to give your posture the spinal love it deserves. Correcting your posture helps you feel better and makes you appear leaner, taller and more dignified. While improving your posture is not an overnight endeavor, following these simple tips will help you to develop stronger postural awareness.
TEST YOUR POSTURE 
When you are engrossed in hours of non-stop desk work, it is easy to unknowingly develop an incorrect posture. Go through this five-point checklist to see where you stand. Any misalignment could indicate signs of potential imbalance that would be better addressed sooner rather than later.
<ol>
<li> Check your nose-chest alignment: Look at the line from the tip of your nose to the chin, stopping at your chest. Check to see if your head is rotating or leaning to one side against the imaginary line.</li>
<li>Shoulders: Look at both shoulders to check that they are level or in line if you draw an imaginary line between both.</li>
<li>Arms: Check that both arms are equal in length and that the spacing between your arms and your body is equal as they hang at your side.</li>
<li>Knees: Look at your knees to see if they are level with one another.</li>
<li>Pelvis: Check to see if your pelvis is titled inward or outward more than the 15 degrees natural tilt.</li>
</ol>
OPTIMUM SITTING POSITION 
To find your optimal sitting position, keep your feet flat on the floor or a level footrest. Avoid crossing the knees or ankles. Try to maintain a small gap between the back of the knees and the chair. Sit up straight and look forward without straining the neck. Keep your shoulders relaxed. Take a 10-minute break for every hour of sitting. Switch positions regularly. When working at a desk with a computer, keep the monitor at arm’s length and no more than five centimeters above the natural line of sight. Position the keyboard and mouse close together to avoid reaching. Having an optimum sitting position can help you avoid neck and back pain during prolonged working sessions.
CHILD’S POSE

The child’s pose is a great resting yoga pose that helps stretch your back and muscles around your hips. To try it, get on your hands and knees, with your knees as far as shoulders-width apart and big toes touching each other. Crawl forward on your hands and extend your arms straight toward the front before slowly dropping your hips back to rest on your heels. Rest your forehead on the floor and hold this position for 5 to 10 deep breaths.
STANDING FORWARD FOLD

To do the standing forward bend or fold, start with your feet hip distance apart and bend at the knees to support your weight. Exhale as you bend forward at the hips, lengthening the front of your torso. Bend your elbows and hold on to each elbow with the opposite hand. Let the crown of your head hang down naturally. Press your heels into the floor as you lift your sit bones towards the ceiling. Pull your shoulders away from your ears and drop your head and neck. Lengthen your legs until you feel a stretch in the hamstring muscles. Work on engaging your quadriceps to help your hamstring muscles release. Release deeper into the pose with each exhalation. Let your head hang as you feel the tension roll out of your shoulders and neck.
Practiced regularly, it&#8217;ll improve your body awareness and balance by stretching the back side of your body, including your back and shoulders, glutes, hamstrings, calf muscles, and the soles of your feet.
THE CAT-COW POSE

This is another excellent movement to release the spine. Start on all fours. Your wrists and elbows should be stacked under the shoulders. Keep your fingers spread against the ground for stability and a neutral neck position. Start the Cat phase by tucking your tailbone under as you exhale, using your abdominal muscles to push your spine toward the ceiling. Create an arching motion. Lengthen your neck and allow your head to reach toward your chest so that your ears come down by the biceps.
Then shift to the Cow position by moving your pelvis forward so that your belly is lowered toward the floor while lifting your chin and chest and gazing up toward the ceiling. Create an opposing arching motion. Breathe and release. As the Cat-Cow pose stretches the muscles of your hips, back, abdomen and chest, this exercise improves the flexibility of your neck, shoulders and spine.
It’s important to recognize that your posture greatly impacts your health and well-being, including your ability to perform at work. Start mindfully improving your posture now to reap many benefits in the future.
