The Classic Spinal Elongator: Downward Dog
Begin your journey to relief with this yoga staple. Assume a position on all fours and then elevate your hips skyward. Your head should be nestled between your arms, creating a stretch that travels from your neck down to your tailbone.
Flexibility Duo: Cat-Cow
This next pose is actually a dynamic duo. Starting on all fours, drop your belly towards the mat while lifting your gaze and tailbone for the Cow portion. Then, arch your back and tuck your chin for the Cat part. This sequence is excellent for loosening up both the neck and upper back muscles.
The Ultimate Relaxer: Child’s Pose
When it’s time for a breather, this pose has got you covered. Sit back on your heels, stretch your arms forward, and let your forehead touch the ground. As you breathe deeply, feel the tension in your neck and shoulders dissipate.
Target The Trap Muscles: Eagle Arms
Last on the list is a pose that zeroes in on a common tension hotspot—the trapezius muscle. Extend your arms, cross one over the other, and then bend your elbows. Wrap your arms around each other until your palms meet, if possible. Hold, breathe, and feel the tension melt away.
Tech neck doesn’t have to be a constant nuisance. These yoga poses offer a practical and effective way to alleviate discomfort and improve your posture. So go ahead, take a break from the screen, and give your neck the attention it deserves.
Until next time, stay flexible and healthy!
