The guide to thanking your back- NY TIMES
As I walked by several restaurants today, glancing at the strangers I noticed the ‘hunch’ that we ALL have. The act of sitting up straight is in direct correspondence to our health. Balancing books on the top of our head is not ideal for the hustle of city life. When you have ‘time’ to yourself; vegging out over drinks and food is usually the way to go. A trendy tool of using a steady yoga practice as your constant reminder regarding your posture. In result, re-training the muscles to support your shoulder girdle. Core engagement to align the spine will alleviate back pain (as stated in the article above). So as I walked by those restaurants today I wanted to tap on the glass and model the rolling of the shoulders. In reality this did not happen. Consider your posture while your dine, work, play and walk. Remain healthy!
