Sitting Neck Stretch Circle

  1. Starting Position:

    • Sit comfortably on the floor with your legs crossed or in a seated position that feels stable for you.

    • Keep your back straight and shoulders relaxed.

  2. Neck Positioning:

    • Begin with your head facing forward.

  3. Stretching to the Side:

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

    • Hold this stretch for about 15-20 seconds, feeling the stretch on the left side of your neck.

  4. Movement in a Circle:

    • From the right side position, gently rotate your head forward and then to the left, letting your chin move towards your chest.

    • Continue the rotation until your head is tilted to the left, bringing your ear towards your shoulder.

    • Hold this position for another 15-20 seconds.

  5. Completing the Circle:

    • Continue the circular movement by bringing your head back to the center and then tilting your head back slightly (looking upwards).

    • Rotate back to the right side, completing the circle.

  6. Repetition:

    • Repeat the circular motion at least 2-3 times in one direction, then switch and repeat 2-3 times in the opposite direction.

  7. Final Position:

    • After completing the stretches, bring your head back to the neutral position. Take a few deep breaths and relax your shoulders.
