Seated Neck Release

Relief for a neck that has spent the day looking at a screen. Gentle, slow, and never forced.

How to

1. Sit tall in Easy Seat with the right fingertips resting lightly on the mat beside the hip.
2. Place the left hand lightly on the right side of the head.
3. Let the head tilt to the left — the hand adds weight, not pull.
4. Breathe into the right side of the neck for five breaths.
5. Lift the head with the hand and repeat on the other side.

Tips

• Slide the right hand further away along the mat to deepen the stretch through the shoulder.
• Turn the chin slightly down to move the stretch towards the back of the neck.
• Never bounce.
