Along with Yoga and other exercises will balancing a book on my head for 15 min. a day help correct my posture

Answer:
Yoga and performing a book balancing exercise daily as you describe will definitely assist in postural correction. I'm a physical therapist and see people with postural problems daily. It is usually people that spend a large part of their day sitting at a computer that have postural problems. Because your head tends to drift forward as you sit for prolonged periods, you become accustomed to this position. Over the years the ligaments in your spine will change in order to accomodate this position making it harder and harder to stand up straight. Yoga will assist in gaining your mobility back as well as aiding in proprioception. A brief postural correction exercise performed hourly will assist in re-educating you in terms of where your head is in space.It is also helpful to perform some stabilization exercises to strengthen the muscles that support your spine.
