I developed sleep apnea from poor posture and was able to fix it by correcting my posture. Developing a hunch or anterior pelvic tilt is especially a risk for desk workers and makes breathing harder, a little bit of yoga or posture correction exercises can save you a lot of trouble.

This sounds implausible, since "good posture" doesn't really have a definition. Is there any data on this beyond anecdote? How do you know your posture was the only possibile explanation for onset and resolution of symptoms?
How did you monitor your apnea before and after your posture correction? And how does one's standing posture affect breathing when lying horizontally -- is it a matter of breathing muscle strength?
