Our necks sacrifice stability to give us our big, beautiful mobility. Our necks move in order to help orient our eyes and heads to see where we are going in the world. Caring for our necks requires stabilization of the supple structures around the neck vertebrae, and mobility as well as strength from below (our mid back area).

Join us for this upper extremity focused practice to engage the musculature around the shoulders and gentle release the tension from the neck. This practice is helpful in building prerequisite strength required for more challenging arm balances (if you have such goals).

Thank you so much for practicing with us.

Suggested Props:
strap (dog leash/ karate belt), blocks or stable chair, yoga mat, blanket or towel

Trina Mann is a physical therapist who specializes working with people who have Parkinson's in Northern California! She is also a 200hour R-yoga teacher! She teaches a weekly yoga class in her community, and we are fortunate enough to be able to join the class live through zoom or utilize these recordings!

This wonderful yoga class is more of a gentle, restorative yoga class with a focus on kindness to our body, breath and body awareness. I highly recommend you try it!
