Good mornings will help strengthen your spinae erector aswell as stretch your (most likely) super tight posterior chain without putting enough pressure on you to do any damage if you do screw it up (just dump it overhead if a rep goes amiss) might be worth googling barbell good morning.
To the yoga guy, yoga does have some posture benefits because it stretches the illiopsoas and the chest\shoulder, but it's only a drop in the ocean, you still need corrective exercises to build the strength up.
OP, aside from good mornings, some other good exercises (not stretches, the yoga guy's right, yoga, imo, is a fantastic way to increase flexibility, I did it to be able to squat ATG and overhead squat ATG, I can now, so I stopped, just a tool, not a lifestyle) that will be usefull:
Good morning (Not just barbell, but every second or third week, try similair variations, stiff legged and romanian deadlifts, once you can, normal deadlifts are fucking fantastic, do 'em shoulder width, not sumo though) Squats are another great exercise, aside from also building your posterior chain, they also help add some real mass to your lower body. Chinups will help with poorly rotated shoulders by building back strength. As will barbell rows (yes barbell, not dumbell or machine, because barbell will help teach you to keep back straight all the fucking time you curvey spined mofucker :) Face pulls are an exceptional exercise for fixing your forward-faggoted-shoulders, so google and learn about face pulls too.
If you chose 3 of these exercises, did 4-5 sets of 8 reps of each exercise for 3 nights a week, I gaurantee you'll see an improvement in not just posture, but your physique.
