- This short 10 minute yoga class focuses on yoga for the neck, shoulders and upper back. The stress of everyday life and poor posture gets stored in the neck and shoulders. This therapeutic sequence will help the body to release this stored tension and start to train the muscles that support your posture so that the pain doesn't come back. With this yoga class you'll learn to relieve tension and discomfort and increase range of motion at the same time This is a great way to give back to your body and care for yourself.
Bookmark and save this practice and repeat for the best results in addressing areas of built-up stress. Don't expect it all to change with one session. Regular practice will help these stressed out areas to release tension.

IF you'd like to see more short videos like this for neck and shoulder tension or other topics let me know below.
I was doing exterior painting all day yesterday, so this is what I needed! See you necks time!
Yeah... 'Necks time'. :)
Wow. Really does feel like a whole new neck!
Nice!
If only I can like the videos every time i watch them
Thanks Malak
Tim, That was magic. Just back from a good longboard surf with super sore shoulders and this video popped up right at the top. Or maybe my phone knows too much about me. Anyhow, just what the doctor ordered.
Ha! Glad it helped!
Oh well this was just lovely. When I closed my eyes you were a floating yogi 🤣 I feel so much lighter and ready for my day. Thank you 😊
'Floating yogi' Hahaha - Nice! Thank you, Judy!
I cannot think of anything better to do after a hard day at the computer - thanks Tim!
Agree. Thanks Giovanna
This is going to be great to go back to on days where I have to drive long distances, sit at the computer, endure the news, or work on the wheel. I love that it includes the eye exercise that has been the trick for me to get back into a relaxed state. I feel that I’m morphing from a walking stiff neck back into a whole person with a body. I appreciate these short videos for days when I’m doing my own practice, or when I’d like a little tune-up before bed. Thanks!!
Great - all the way around! Thanks, Amy!
Thank you so much! Awesome as always!
Thank you, Svetlana!
I almost cried after this class....i am in a 9-month training program and was not able to do practice with your videos since the last 3 months.
Also thanks for mentioning the fascia and the eye movement connection...kind of explains why we should allow the movement to follow the dristi 🙏❤️
Welcome back! Thanks, Kavya.
You got it Kavya :) Nothing wrong with crying from practice
Damn you are like a god or something? Tried so many things none really released my neck and shoulders but this really worked! Thank you so so much!
Glad it worked for you!
My partner and I love this video - and chuckle every time at the surprise of the Stache. Thanks for this great stretch, Tim!
Glad you both love the video. Thanks, Arielle.
Great stretch. Cheers for a good session
Glad you enjoyed it, Helena! 😊 Cheers!
I feel much better. Now I can go on my bike ride I ‘ll need to do this session afterwards!😊
Cool. Thanks 😉
Thank you Tim! I love working out with you! Or should I say - Practicing?)
Thanks Marina
Thanks, Tim. The directions and explanations add a new level. 1 mile an hour is perfect!
Cool. Thanks Bernadette
I love this video Tim as my tightness tends to be so much in my neck. Will keep this one as favorite and do it often. Thank you
Ohhhh I Love it, please do more excatly videos like this, short and targeted to upper back neck and poster ❤
You got it!
I've done these stretches before and they have never done as well as they have with this sequence.... I am so picky with yoga u are fantastic
So glad to hear it. Thanks Jen.
5:30 On The first time when I tried this one, I felt tremendous amount of tension at the base of my neck. However, after holding the stretch, my neck felt better and I could feel that some occult tension around my spine and arms had melted away. Later, after reading about it, I came to know about the 'Brachial plexus' and the 'Nerve flossing exercises'. Now this stretch is my go to.
A dynamic variation of this stretch feels even better on some days (especially during winter).
Great to hear all this. Thanks for sharing
Man that was exactly what i needed! I've been working on my boat for the last week and was sort of waiting for the back pains to show up. And they did!
Now i will sleep well!
Great! And good to hear! Thanks, Henri.
Great neck and shoulder stretch before I start a day! Ty!
Excellent! Thank you!
Very subtle and effective. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the short video! They're great for overly busy days.
Glad you like them! Thank you.
Dura mater and eye mouvements yeah! Your anatomy lesson is always getting finer. Thank you so much for the quality of your classes and the sharing of knowledges.
You are very welcome! Thank you, Isabelle.
Oh I also used to be a massage therapist so great job!
Awesome. Thanks
This helps just so good with me tight neck! Thank you for your calm and relaxing instructions. You always seem so grounded and happy
Glad it helped. You're welcome and thank you Katie
Thanks so much, Tim! Always need a reminder to pay attention to this area!
Great! Thanks!
This feels great! New subscriber❤
Cool! Welcome to the channel 😉
This neck and shoulder segment was so so helpful… I have been a Dental hygienist for almost 30 years and my neck and shoulders I have constant pain this has been so helpful I will continue to do it… If you can please continue with some isolated body parts like neck and shoulders it is a great way to begin the day when you’re at a crunch for time! Love what you do thank you!
Excellent! Thanks, Ellen!
That was a nice one to wake up to☺️
Great! Thanks, Monique.
Awesome, helps a Great Deal for office neck
Excellent! Glad to hear!
Hi Tim, what a backdrop stunning view you have! Where is that if you don’t mind asking? It makes you want to do yoga even if you don’t feel like it! Simply stunning in all the seasons I believe. Could you please guide me to beginner videos you got ( at the very low beginner stage in yoga or stretching) so I can build my strength up. I get intimidated by the complexity of some exercises especially in yoga. Thank you for that awesome stretching exercises, and thank you for making us enjoy that view too.🙏 a fan from Melbourne 😊
Hello, Rula. You can check the website of the place I film. Here’s the site: Lunadesolbaja.com It is in Northern Mexico and it is quite beautiful. As far as the Beginner Yoga videos, do this: Go to YogawithTim. Click PLAYLISTS. Go to 'Beginner Series'. There are 7 beginner videos. Click 'VIEW FULL PLAYLIST' to see all 7. Glad you like the stretching. Thank you for practicing with us! :)
Thank you! This is best neck and shoulder stretch that I have experienced by far.
I'll definitely favorite this one and come back multiple times!
Definitely one to come back to Barbara :)
Excellent! Thank you!
That was great! Thanks!
Glad you liked it! 🙏
Just finished at 6.20 am Romania time. This was good for my upper back🤗, thank you🙏🧘♀️🇷🇴❤
Ahh... Excellent! Thanks, Cati.

Glad you liked it. Thanks, Paula
Thanks for this great stretches
You are very welcome! 😊
You're so welcome!
I loved this. Thank you so much
You are so welcome, Erin! 😊
Amazing! Thank you!
You'e welcome!
Wow this was super intense. I had to back off several times. Which is rare for me. I'll come back to this one very soon. I'm going to the chiropractor now
Hi, Alex! yes, come back soon!
This was a wonderful stretch for neck and shoulders. Your location is beautiful. I can’t sit cross legged for a full 10 minutes but I am working o. It and stretch my legs out front when needed. I really appreciate your descriptions of how to feel the energy moving it helps me visualize it.
Good to hear! Thanks, Wendy.
Epic. Just what the doctor ordered.Again.
Thank you Moritz
Lifesaver🎉 thanks!
Glad it helped!
Hey Tim, been doing your youtube videos since the first lockdown last year. I basically just created this account so I could let you know I really appreciate your trainning, it puts my mind in a great place after doing a Yoga session. Also a big fan of the 80s/ 90s hip hop references and dad jokes! haha
Great to hear! Thank you, Ravi!
Wow! Thank you so much for this class. I can’t believe the difference after sitting all day.
Excellent! Thanks, Schu.
Excellent class, perfectly timed with mid year stresses.
Nice to hear! Thanks, Ankit.
This was amazing! I've been waiting for something like this. I would really appreciate a quick video about yoga for hands/wrists - as an artist I try to do wrist/finger exercises everyday and would love to see what exercises you might recommend for that. Thank you for all the wonderful content!
Wrists would be great! I have mom thumb from carrying kids around.
Got it. Thank you for the suggestion!
OK. Thank you!
Really useful! Thank you
You're welcome! Thanks, Gabriela.
That was great! Thank you. Just what I needed.
Glad it was helpful!
Felt great. I always learn something new in your classes.
:)
short but sweet! great warm up stretch before your long yoga videos :D thanks tim!
You're so welcome! Thanks, Joseph!
Hi Tim thank you 🙏 from france
Thank you, Petit!
Thank you Tim, you're the best. My neck and shoulders are always very tight and its where I hold all my tension in my body. This was very welcome this evening. Thank you :)
Happy to help! 😊 You are very welcome, Suzanne!
I have had chronic pain in this area for years, and this has helped me so much. Thank you!
So nice to hear this. Thank you
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! Great instruction, as usual, Tim! I have never heard to try to connect my ribs to my pelvis, and I could definitely tell the difference!!! Really wonderful moment of insight for me to better understand belly breathing.
You are so welcome! 😊 I am so glad that was helpful for you!
So perfect, afyer the stress of the day. my neck needed this big time! thank-you. Namaste
You're so welcome! Namaste.
Thank you! This was very timely for me because I am working on neck and shoulder posture right now.
You're so welcome, Pete! 😊
This was nice!
Thanks, Keyla!
This eye thing was messed up! I love it.
Thanks, Cass!
This was fantastic thank you Tim. First time for me when rolling the neck back that I learned to do it without hinging and instead use the posture of my back to support. I felt my core engaged to support my neck tilting back and as a result the neck tilted back was an enjoyable position instead of a strain. Amazing! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Good to hear this... Thanks, Nilam!
My neck is always stiff from old whiplash injury. You could actually hear noises when I was doing this, almost like cracking your knuckles. The eye movement made me a little dizzy though, guess I took it too far. Great stretch Tim, thanks
It's important to moderate if you're feeling you're going too far. But glad you liked the stretch!
Thank you Tim. I carry tons of tension in my neck and trapezius. I was popping initially, but in the end very fluid.🌼
Great! Thanks, Kim.
thank you, that was great
You're welcome! 😊
this was AMAZING. After a long hiatus from yoga, a 30 minute workout feels TOO MUCH and way too stressful on my very stiff body. This was a perfect start to getting some mobility back into my most painful and locked up areas. THANK YOU!!!
Glad to hear this! Thanks, Stephanie!
You saved me! I had tweaked my neck/shoulder and this released soothed it. Definitely adding these moves to morning stretches. Thank you!🙏🏼
Excellent! Good to hear!
This is a great series. It’s gentle, the entire series is seated…I love it because I am trying to teach my puppy to be in the yoga room but too much movement flow has him getting up and moving all the time too…I am dreaming of a future Wally-bear yoga-puppy vibe coming from my Sunny soon.
Nice! Thank you, Ann!
I had a shoulder pain for couple days and I found this Tim’s video and magically pain went away. Thank you so much!!!!🙏💜 I was able to hike pretty tough mountains and feeling amazing.
Great feedback and good to hear. Thank you Myroslava.
Yay, I need this so much! Thank you Tim. 🙂
That is great! You are very welcome, Jasmine! 😊
Awesome 👏 just after my meditation practice this morning. Perfect release for my neck and shoulders. Thanks Tim.
Good to hear! Thanks, Sonia!
Thanks Tim! 🙏
You're welcome, Lucho!
Tena koe Tim really appreciated this session as my neck and shoulders have been tight from working from home seated posture. Normally my neck clicks heaps and strains to do those rotation exercises. Not as much today. Cheers
Tena Koe, Suzy. Good to hear! :)
Love it. I think I need it everyday. Thanks so much!
You are so welcome, Ivy! 😊
Exactly what i needed today, Thank you so much!
Happy to hear that! You are so welcome 😊
Wonderful way to start a day!! Everyday. Thank you Tim 🙏❤️
Excellent! Thank you!
Love this class it really helped me after a long day at work at a desk!
Glad it helped! 😊
Thank you so much! I've been looking for a neck-focused class and this is perfect! I'm looking forward to making this part of my daily routine :)
You got it. Thanks Zenith
I love the focused stretching on this. I think it's a beautiful thing to feel and visualize the stretch and energy channels. Brilliant work as always Tim! Namaste
Thank you, Isaac! Namaste!
Thank you so much for this.🙏 Needed it desperately.
So glad to hear! Thank you!
Hi Tim. I maybe pinched a nerve in my neck such that I have been suffering with pain for weeks. Doing your other yoga (e.g. the 30 challenge), I notice that poses to use/tense the neck muscles tend to help more with flexibility/mobility and easing the pain than the stretches. For example, the pose where you bring the feet up into a 90 degree angle and then back behind (plow pose) and then up into shoulder stand is in many ways a lot more effective (I do not have tight shoulders). I wonder, therefore, if you could do a neck video incorporating more tensing/using the neck and shoulder and upper back muscles (gently) as the isometric to the stretching. Thanks!
Hi, Julianne. Bummer to hear about your neck issues. I have a really good neck video in the mobility course on the CMC. There are also free neck videos. Just type 'neck' into the search bar.
Thank you so much for this class! I can't believe how different my neck and shoulders feel after just 10 mins. I'm from the Philippines and a great fan of your channel
So good to hear! Thank you!
I’VE HAD ATROCIOUS NECK AND BACK PAIN ALL DAY AND NOW IT’S COMPLETELY GONE!?!???! AMAZING
Awesome and so good to hear!
Thank you a lot Tim for your videos, it helps me a lot with my neck pain🙏 The only thing I noticed if I tilt head to the right or left a bit more and still have my back straight I feel like I start suffocating. Not sure why🤷♀️ Can you please help me with that one, is that I overdo it or just my muscles are tight?!
Hey Julia, I’m so glad to hear that. Oh gnarly, sounds like you might be a neck breather, (hence the chronic neck pain) and need to learn to breath diaphragmatically. I go over this on the conscious movement course (CMC) in the pranayama/ breathwork section. If you're not signed up for the Conscious Movement Community (CMC) yet, go to yogawithtim.mykajabi.com to get started.
@@yogawithtim Thank you Tim, I will check it out 🙏
Awesomeness 🔥
Thanks 🔥
Very cool short video for stiff neck and shoulders. It’s my first time to do the elbow out and elbow in exercise at the beginning of the session. I felt it also helped to massage the outer lines of my eyes. I also like the big glass window with background nature. Where is it in CA? ❤
This one's not in So Cal. It’s a vineyard in Northern Mexico where they cultivate a world class wine. You can check out the website of the place where I film. Here’s the site: Lunadesolbaja.com
@@yogawithtim Thanks for your introduction. The place looks so Zen.
Hi Tim.. I've got covid :( can you give a video for recovery... I would really appreciate. Thank you Tim. Hope you always be healthy and happy.
Oh sorry to hear that, I like the bedtime or yin classes for recovery. Hope this helps
@@yogawithtim thank you Tim
this was wonderful Tim, thank you. Any thoughts on why I might be feeling neck tightness/pain when I inhale from my diaphragm? Is it because I'm still holding tension in my neck without realizing it?
You’re welcome, Laura. Sounds like that area is too gripped up to allow you a diaphragmatic breath. Practice on your back and see if it’s any better.
@@yogawithtim thank you - i think you are right
new subs love your background❤️
Thanks for subbing, Nikko! And glad you like the background.
Thanks Tim! I loved the neck stretches but couldn’t sit in the position for more than 5 minutes. My lower back wasn’t strong enough I think? You have tons of back videos but I’m not sure where to start. Any recommendations? Thanks!
Hi, Beth. That makes sense. With more practice, it will get better. Any of the back videos are great to start with : )
Likey likey, again
👍
Thanks Tim, my neck and upper back have been tight for some time and this is exactly what I need. It felt great, but I know getting rid of this tension will be a bit of a journey for me. A question, would it be ok to do this 10 minute session each day maybe as a warm up to get the krinks out in the morning and then my normal yoga practice later in the day? Also is this added to the Conscious Movement Community so I can find it there? Thanks for everything, Stef.
Sure! That would be just fine. Stacy puts the youtube videos into the “ad free” section on the CMC. I’ll check right now to make sure she got it in there.
Tim, I know this may be asking a lot but I had a horse accident about 6 months ago and have been going through recovery. I used to be a high intermediate yoga student but now due to my accident I have lost my mobility and strength in my core, back, arms, and legs. So pretty much everywhere. Do you have a specific challenge or a few videos that could help me to regain what I lost. I’m willing to take the time and work on it even if it takes me months to get back to where I used to be. My chiropractor has been assisting my recovery and has suggested doing the basics of yoga. This would mean a lot. Thank you!
I’m so sorry to hear that. I would recommend starting with the basics even though you’re an intermediate student. Start with the beginner course, then do a 30 day challenge then start the “what’s next” CMC course.
@@yogawithtim thank you so much!
perfect litle sequence for when you wake up with an uncooperative neck
Understood and glad you like!
Great! Could be longer!
Oh cool, I'm glad you liked it that much!
can yoga improve my posture?i have forward neck,forward shoulder and anterior peviclk tilt,non of it is severe.please answer
Yes, of course it can. I'd recommend starting with my beginner course to learn how to change your posture best and then keep up with my course. I bet in a few months you see a huge difference.
@@yogawithtim where can i get all the courses,and is yoga same as stretching and mobility?if possible can u send me links of courses
thanks tim see you necks time
Hahaha! Thanks, Robert!
Tim! Where are you? Looks beautiful!
Hi, Kelly. It’s a beautiful vineyard in Northern Mexico where they cultivate a world class wine. You can check the website of the place I film. Here’s the site: Lunadesolbaja.com
It was so awesome, thaty saying that it was awesome would offend you, so I'm not gonna say that!
Hahaha! Thanks
Hard to understand what u mean
What’s hard to understand?
Tbh my upper back starts to hurt so much already 5 minutes into this video
Oh gnarly
