I wish I was better at noticing when I'm slouching or hunching my shoulders up while working at a desk. Unfortunately, I only realize I've been doing it once the resulting discomfort of my poor posture appears, usually in my shoulders and back.

I'm always looking for ways to improve my posture, and when I spoke to Catherine Manna, a Pilates instructor and the founder of CLM Pilates, I asked for her advice.
