The neck can be an area of tension. It is carrying your beautifully smart head. Unfortunately, often there’s too much effort that shows in tensions, pains and lack of headspace.

Today’s practice is intended to give some fresh wiggle room to your neck so your head can rest calmly on it.

This is one way to stretch your neck:

Turn your head 45 degrees to the right

And then gently stretch towards the back as if you’ve got water in your ear and you want to let it drip out over the backside of your shoulder.

This creates a stretch on the front left of the neck.

Take a couple of deep breaths and ease into the stretch.

Move back to the neutral starting position and repeat on the other side.

PS: Ever wondered if giraffes also need neck stretches?
