YOGA’S EFFECT ON WORKING WOMEN’S SCOLIOSIS AND OTHER POSTURE ISSUES

ABSTRACT

For the sake of our general health, maintaining an appropriate posture is on par with eating food that is rich in nutrients. The individual’s personality may be inferred from their posture to a great extent. The majority of the time, poor sitting, standing, or standing habits, or even birth defects, are to blame for the development of postural abnormalities, which are among the most serious health issues. The most frequent types of spinal abnormalities seen in individuals are kyphosis, lordosis, and scoliosis. There are a number of things that can lead to deformities, including leading a sedentary lifestyle, having health problems, undergoing surgery or injury, adopting a poor sitting posture, and going to sit for longer periods of time directly in front of a computer, both of which often quite common among women who are employed. Poor posture may result in a number of health problems, and it can also limit an individual’s ability to do typical levels of physical activity as compared to that of normal persons. If practised correctly and on a consistent basis, yoga asanas have the potential to alleviate some of the symptoms associated with certain congenital malformations. As part of its practise, yoga places an emphasis on correctly positioning the body in various postures known as asanas. Bhujanagasana, balasana, dhanurasana, and trikonasana are few asanas which aids to stretch the body entirely. In addition to this, yoga helps to strengthen one’s bodily awareness, allowing one to approach their issues in a more thoughtful manner. As a result, yoga may be the most effective method for reversing the bad posture that is brought on by the nature of working environments and the ways in which working women live their lives.
