Neck and Shoulder Therapy Yoga Practice

I believe everyone must know the importance of shoulders and neck to us. If there is a problem with our shoulders and neck, it will not only make us feel uncomfortable but also restrict our movements, causing many troubles in our work and life. Therefore, we recommend that our readers pay attention to the health of their shoulders and neck in their daily lives. Below we will introduce to you the practice of shoulder and neck therapy yoga.

Circle the shoulders clockwise. Sit in Vajra posture, sitting on your heels with your legs together. Stretch your arms forward to shoulder height. Place the fingers of both hands on your shoulders and bring your elbows together in front of your chest. Breathe rhythmically and slowly. Circle your elbows clockwise as far as possible 10 times. Note: Inhale when circling upwards, and exhale when circling downwards. Straighten your spine and don't hunch your shoulders.

Loop around the shoulder counterclockwise. Sit in Vajra posture, sitting on your heels with your legs together. Stretch your arms forward to shoulder height. Place the fingers of both hands on your shoulders and bring your elbows together in front of your chest. Breathe rhythmically and slowly. Circle your elbows counterclockwise as far as possible 10 times. Note: Inhale when circling upwards, and exhale when circling downwards. Straighten your spine and don't hunch your shoulders.

Vajra Seat backhand pull. Sit in Vajra posture, sitting on your heels with your legs together. Interlock your fingers at the back. Inhale and stretch your arms straight down and behind you while keeping your chest and back lifted. Exhale, stretch your arms forcefully, and relax your shoulders downward. Inhale, lift your chin and point it straight up, bringing the back of your head toward your upper back. Hold for 3 breaths. Exhale, lower your head forward, and tuck your jaw in. Keep breathing for 3 times.

Inhale at the end and return your head to a neutral position. Note: Tighten your abdomen, stretch your tailbone downward, and retract your waist slightly. This will allow you to consciously reduce the pressure on your lumbar spine. Slightly rotate your arms inward and clamp your body with your upper arms on both sides.

Child's pose shoulder stretch. Immediately following the Vajra Seat, perform the reverse hand pull, keeping your arms stretched backwards with your fingers interlocked. Exhale, straighten your chest, bend your body forward, lie on your thighs, keep your upper body upright, and lightly touch the ground with your forehead. Inhale and stretch your arms straight up. Try to stay perpendicular to the ground and hold for 5 breaths. At the end, inhale and slowly straighten your body to the neutral position. Note: Contract your shoulder blades and bring your palms together as much as possible. Make a conscious effort to pull your shoulders away from your ears, without hunching them.
