Instructions

  1. Starting Position:

    • Sit comfortably on the floor in a cross-legged position (also known as a seated position).

    • Keep your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and hands resting on your knees or thighs.

  2. Neck Stretch:

    • Slowly tilt your head to the right, bringing your right ear toward your right shoulder.

    • To deepen the stretch, you can gently place your right hand on the left side of your head and apply slight pressure.

    • Hold this position for 15-30 seconds, breathing deeply and relaxing into the stretch.

  3. Return to Center:

    • Slowly bring your head back to the center, keeping your neck relaxed.

  4. Repeat on the Other Side:

    • Now tilt your head to the left, bringing your left ear toward your left shoulder.

    • Again, you can use your left hand for gentle pressure on the right side of your head.

    • Hold for 15-30 seconds.

  5. Finishing:

    • Gently return to the center.

    • Take a moment to breathe deeply and notice how your neck feels.

    • You can repeat the entire stretch 2-3 times on each side if desired.

Important Tips:

  • Avoid any jerking or bouncing movements.

  • If you experience pain, ease off the stretch or stop.

  • Ensure that your shoulders remain relaxed throughout the stretch.
