Neck Side Release

by Kaira

The side of the neck holds your head over a keyboard all day; this gives it a slow, gentle lengthening.

How to do it

  1. Sit tall, right hand resting on the seat edge so that shoulder stays down.
  2. Tip your left ear toward your left shoulder until you feel a gentle stretch on the right side.
  3. Breathe slowly and hold, then change sides.
  4. Never pull and never hang your hand on your head — the weight of your head is enough.
