Stretch Your Neck, Ease the Tension

Ease neck tension with gentle daily stretches — connect movement with your breath and relax your posture.

Neck tension is common — particularly if you’re stressed or spend long hours at a desk. Simple stretches can relieve discomfort and improve mobility.

Try these gentle stretches:

Chin tucks: Sit tall, gently draw your chin back to align neck and spine
Ear-to-shoulder: Slowly lower one ear toward the same-side shoulder, hold, then switch sides
Neck rolls: Roll your head slowly in a circle, pausing if you feel strain
Shoulder shrugs: Lift both shoulders up toward your ears, hold briefly, and release

Move with your breath, and stop if you feel any pain. Consistency is key — a little often goes a long way.
