Correcting posture
Hello all..
please.... do clarify me (i do have a hunch back and also anterior pelvic tilt) so can i do yoga asanas like upward facing dog etc. Basically arching the back by taking the head backwards.
because that time the lumbar region is again going forward & would that put more pressure on the anterior pelvic tilt (lumbar region) ?
Ple Suggest me some exercises for correcting both the postures
TIA..

Hey there! That should not cause a problem as in upward facing dog majorly the upper back where there is kyphosis as mentioned by you would be getting the appropriate treatment considering it a postural kyphosis.
Do perform yoga asanas if there does not seem any problem or hindrance doing them.( no pain )
Extension exercises will help hunchback and anterior tilt be helped with pelvic tilt exercise, hip flexor stretch exercise.
While doing yoga, do not go for holding the position as that has little chances of causing trouble. Probably as mentioned by you do not lift the pelvis...just arch backwards.
Next Steps
it would be better to visit a physiotherapist and get your exercise plan.
Health Tips
try not to be sedentary. Keep moving and keeping the posture accurate consciously.

Did you do all this yoga before and have benefits.please continue.
But my suggestion is please start after Physio consultation and correct your regular sitting posture.
Especially if you worked in front of a laptop regularly for a long time.

1. Posture shouldn't be the main concern while exercising, if you do not have any major discomfort or pain.
2. Before beginning any plan of exercise, consult a physiotherapist. This should be helpful in making an effective exercise plan.
3. Ensure that the progress you make in exercise plan is more qualitative than quantitative .
