Feeling tense? This gentle yoga sequence can help loosen a stiff neck and tight shoulders.
Neck and shoulder tension often comes from stress, injury, poor posture, the way you sleep, and many everyday habits. A big culprit today is spending long hours hunched over screens. Rounding the shoulders and leaning forward strains the upper-back muscles and weakens them over time, so the tightness builds up slowly and can go unnoticed.
This practice is designed to ease that tension, improve posture, lower stress, calm the breath, and promote deep relaxation.
I want to introduce Kris Moon, a yoga and mindfulness teacher who discovered her calling while studying traditional yoga techniques in India. She offers simple, practical tools for living more fully through yoga and contemplative practice and shares many yoga and meditation resources on her website and YouTube channel.
“Through ancient systems like Yoga and the contemplative practice of Mindfulness Meditation, I offer you simple tools to better navigate the path of whole-hearted living.”
As you practice, breathe slowly and deeply and pay attention to how your body feels. That awareness will help you find the poses that work best for you and deepen your understanding of what your body needs.
