Why no lasting effect? Because habits do not form from single occurrences.

In this case you likely didn't gain a habit. But you got rid of what Thomas Hanna calls Sensory Motor Amnesia (SMA). You now have a perception of being out of the "optimal position". That perceptive ability allows you to correct your posture.

Yes, there's still work to do, but in my experience single occurrences can do a lot.
