Head & Neck Pt. 1
Yoga has much to offer to help improve head and neck alignment, ease neck tension, and relieve neck pain and headaches. In this class, we will start with some basic anatomy, with a focus on important neck muscles. We’ll then spend most of the session working on poses to correct common head/neck posture problems, and practicing neck relaxation.
Head & Neck Pt. 2
We return to the topic of head, neck, and shoulder anatomy and alignment in Yoga. After a review of important points covered in Part 1, we will focus on applying that information to standing poses. We’ll spend most of our class time in asana practice, with emphasis on incorporating alignment cues to reduce neck discomfort in common standing poses.
This class is recommended for students with at least one year of Yoga practice, and it is not appropriate for students with an acute neck injury.
