If you work at a desk or computer for long stretches of time, you might place excessive strain on certain muscles like your neck and shoulders. Muscle tightness in your neck, shoulders and chest muscles can also cause neck pain and poor posture.
In this short video our yoga instructor, Juliana Berfield, PhD, E-RYT 500, CPT will guide you through some neck & shoulder stretches to help loosen your muscles and bring relief.
Feel free to explore small movements and to hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds.
This video is part of a 2-part series for all levels.
Part 1 – Seated or standing.
Part 2 – On a mat using massage balls (release on 7/22/24)
