Yoga practices will help you to be able to sit and stand straighter. It will help you to increase the motion range and enhance muscle appearance. And finally, it will calm your mind and will help you focusing.
As illustrated in the picture below from The Yoga Journal online magazin , during the Sun Salutations, we move into Chaturanga (four limbs staff) briefly and push ourselves forward into Upward Facing Dog (pose C)
In Upward Facing Dog pose:
From Chaturanga or lie on your abs, hands next to chest:
1. Exhale and press yourself up
2. Shoulders down
3. Firm but don't harden the buttocks.
4. Firm the shoulder blades against the back.
5. Look straight ahead or tip the head back slightly, but take care not to compress the back of the neck and harden the throat.
For those who wants an advance version: lift your knees and maintain the contact with the floor with the ball of your feet.
(here is a super advanced version ;-) )
