Perfect Posture: 7 Stretches To Correct "Computer Neck"

Try a Crescent Lunge Twist (Parivrtta Anjaneyasana) to realign your spine while activating and stretching your legs and core. This pose strengthens the quad and glute muscles while stretching the hips and improving your balance, concentration and core awareness. Start in a down dog, extend one leg back to step it foot in between your palms. Stack your knee over your ankle and engage your back leg with your heel lifted off the mat, actively lifting up your opposite knee cap from the back. Engaging your core, slowly lift your torso up and reach your arms to your ears. Relax your shoulders, and lengthen from your lower back and tailbone up through your fingertips. On an exhale, shift your chest forward, and twist towards your bent knee, opening arms and chest to that side. [Photo via @sports_philosophy]
