When I hear what she's saying at 0:30 in the following site, https://www.youtube.com/watch?fv=EMdigZWVrbc, I can't think of any other interpretation than straightening up your back. Is it dependent on context?

Oh ok, its "make sure you have a long back". Also, 1:26 "so you have a nice long, long spine". I think straighten is part of it, but I think it might also mean to make sure your spine is not compressed together

Sorry to be late coming back.
Thanks to you, I think I understand why she says "have a long back". With the phrase, she meant "to engage your core body by decompressing and straightening so that your back feels as if being elongated." Isn't that it?
