Better posture, straight from the hip

This pose helps you develop flexibility in the front of your hips and thighs — and will improve your posture as the muscles in the front of your body get more limber. To make this move easier to balance, you can rest your left hand on the back of a chair. But as you get more familiar with the move, practice balancing on your own throughout the movement.
