Yoga worked very much on the spine, because yogis became aware of its significance -- that the spine is your life. The angle of ninety degrees will be more exact if your spine is straight, so yogis say that when you sit, sit with a straight spine. They worked out many postures, asanas; all their asanas are based on an erect spine, straight. The straighter it is, the more is the possibility to grow in intelligence, awareness.

You may not have observed: if you are listening to me and you are interested your spine will be straight, if you are not interested then you can relax. If you are looking at a movie in a cinema, whenever something interesting comes you will sit straight immediately, because more mind is called for. When the interesting scene has gone you can relax again into your chair.

In the day the spine has to be erect for yogic postures, and in the night also it has to be trained to be more straight. On a rocky bed it is more straight than on a Dunlop mattress. On a rocky bed it is bound to be straight, because the rocky bed is not going to give way for it. If the spine is erect the whole night it will become conditioned to being erect, so in the day also, while walking, sitting, it will remain erect. This is good. So this is physiologically, biologically, and in the eyes of yogis, very helpful.

You can bend your spine, when it is necessary. When you are keeping your spine straight , most of the times, it will not effect much if you bend it for few minutes whenever there is a need. 

If your spine is not naturally straight, if your energy is blocked, if you do not live meditatively, you will have to go through suffering because many old habits are to be broken and they are hard; many old patterns are to be broken and they are very fixed.
