SeatedHoldBeginner
Neck Extension is a seated stretch for your neck.
Step by step
- 1Stand or sit with your back straight and arms at your sides.
- 2Tilt your head back gently, lifting your chin toward the ceiling.
- 3Use your fingertips under your chin to apply light pressure, pushing your head back slightly.
What you should feel
Feel the front of your neck gently lengthen.
Form tips
- Keep your mouth closed and jaw relaxed. Maintain a straight back and relaxed shoulders.
- Let your shoulders stay low and soft.
- Keep your mouth relaxed… your breath easy.
Make it easier
If your neck feels sensitive, take your hand away and tilt only a little.
Coming out of it
On your next exhale… lower your hand… and slowly bring your head back to center.
Muscles it works
Move slowly and stop if anything hurts. This is general guidance, not medical advice; check with a professional if you're injured or recovering.
