1. Starting Position:
- Sit comfortably on the floor in a cross-legged position (also known as a seated position).
- Keep your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and hands resting on your knees or thighs.
2. Neck Stretch:
- Slowly tilt your head to the right, bringing your right ear toward your right shoulder.
- To deepen the stretch, you can gently place your right hand on the left side of your head and apply slight pressure.
- Hold this position for 15-30 seconds, breathing deeply and relaxing into the stretch.
3. Return to Center:
- Slowly bring your head back to the center, keeping your neck relaxed.
4. Repeat on the Other Side:
- Now tilt your head to the left, bringing your left ear toward your left shoulder.
- Again, you can use your left hand for gentle pressure on the right side of your head.
- Hold for 15-30 seconds.
5. Finishing:
- Gently return to the center.
- Take a moment to breathe deeply and notice how your neck feels.
- You can repeat the entire stretch 2-3 times on each side if desired.
Important Tips:
- Avoid any jerking or bouncing movements.
- If you experience pain, ease off the stretch or stop.
- Ensure that your shoulders remain relaxed throughout the stretch.
