    Some years ago, I did Pilates once a week. It was great for tone and flexibility. I don’t know if it specifically helps with posture, but you know that wobbliness that you can get trying to do a slow controlled movement? Its good for that kind of stuff. It does take time and consistency though, not a quick fix. A lot of posture problems can come from lack of core strength, both Pilates and yoga would be good if that’s where the issue is.

    If you’re interested, tai chi has balance exercises. Can’t find videos of the drills I used to do.

    The warmups or dao yin/qi gong are good for strengthening, movement control and opening up a slouched posture.

    I wish I was able to go back to lessons

    Edit: Also maybe make sure you don’t actually have mild scoliosis that never got diagnosed, because a couple of people I know turned out to

    I am currently in peak hunchback phase but previously I've done well with both gym (super simple jog + upper back and shoulder machines) and yoga. Yoga I like because it builds strength but if taught well also helps your nervous system so you aren't holding on so tight. I've not been back to a studio since they all got so expensive after COVID but there's good YouTube stuff. Yoga with Adrienne is probably the most popular absolute basics and she usually has a 30 day challenge in Jan.

    Edit for spelling
