  • This short session focuses on yoga for the neck, shoulders, and upper back. This is the perfect moment to check in and care for yourself! We focus on targeted areas that get stressed through everyday activity to combat neck tension, shoulder pain, upper back pain, and poor posture. This therapeutic sequence will combat stress, reduce inflammation, relieve discomfort, and increase the range of motion.
    Bookmark this practice and repeat to release built-up stress in these targeted areas. Preventative care is the best care!

    I’ve had neck issues for years and also did daily PT. I would have extreme neck pain and burning twice a week for over a decade. I’ve used Biofreeze and Salonpas Patches for relief. My BFF sent me this video on a whim. Since practicing yoga using the video every morning, my neck pain is nearly diminished. It’s truly been life changing. Typically, I don’t post comments, but I wanted to thank Adrienne for changing the quality of my life.

      @@Dr.T-Bomb I'm pretty sure the stretches you're referring to are neck rolls, where you roll your head horizontally across your neck (i.e. chin touching chest, shoulder, back of head touching back, shoulder), if I'm not mistaken. Adriene's "rolls" are vertical, meaning if you don't overdo it, it shouldn't cause the hyperextension in the neck that should be avoided. If you're however referring to something else, I'd love to know!

    • @Dr.T-Bomb
      @Dr.T-Bomb 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      @@mariekejee18 Thanks for the informative reply! I haven't seen it narrowed down that much. The typical explanation I've come across is that any combination of rolling and bending/flexion/extension of the neck compromises the C-spine and will significantly increase wear on those delicate joints. Intuitively it makes sense-there is such a high degree of mobility in that part of the spine that it would be more susceptible to repetitive wear in loaded and stretched positions (and rolling the head is basically just grinding away at these joints). Whether all of that has been proven beyond doubt in epidemiological and controlled studies I wouldn't know and I'm not about to dig into all the literature to check-happy to defer to the experts on this one. Just wanted to make a PSA for those that would like to check for themselves.

So happy to have found you sharing your knowledge of yoga, I could never afford to have a private lesson.

    This is going to sound so silly, but I started crying in the middle of the video and had to pause. My neck has been a huge issue for weeks, I even had to have someone come in and take over my shift at work because I strained it which made it worse on top of that and I had to literally just lay in bed for a few days. I hadn't done your videos in a while and started doing them again last Monday. Today, in the middle of yoga, I realize my neck didn't hurt for the first time in about three weeks and most likely it's thanks to getting back to stretching with your videos every morning. Just goes to show that this is a must do for everyone. It helps you from straining your body throughout the day by even the simplest of movements which is what happens to me all the time. Time to go back to telling people Im busy in the morning doing sessions with my trainer. You're doing awesome work. ♥

Even low-speed collisions (30mph or less) can cause a lot of damage ... for me, the pain has been life altering, so I feel you, my friend!! Yoga helps me a ton, but I really have to use caution ... but I also find neck stabilization exercises to be super helpful. Also grateful for the relief in this video, Adriene!! Namaste

      It's not silly. A friend of mine is a yoga instructor and she has been recommending to me that I do yoga to help my heart and my body. I can't afford yoga classes right now, so I decided to search for a nice yoga video to help with my neck and back pain (I'm a server/bartender lots of work on my feet). I started tearing up in the middle of this very simple short video and a little afterwards too. I instantly felt relief in my body after this, and I will definitely continue to watch her videos. They seem really straight forward, easy to follow without any extra vlogger nonsense, and her voice is really soothing. Thank you Adriene.

    Sitting on the mat, I was struck by sorrow. In these times of solitude, Adriene is actually the person I see the most. I wake up to her voice every morning. I go to her when I am desperate for relief, and whether I'm feeling joy or pain. She has become so important in the lives of so many. I mourn, in a bittersweet way, that we can't all link hands and extend this love fully to one another. We go through our experience alone. It's sad, but it's also a wonderful mystery, life is. When I lay on my mat, I can feel the weight of my body pulling down and the support of the floor taking up that weight, sending it back to me. I notice the places I am tense and where I'm at ease. I feel my chest expand with breath. Miraculously, I'm alive :) And I know that others also bear the weight, the counterweight, the expansion, the contraction, the pain, the pleasure, and everything else. I'm grateful for many reasons to Adriene: teacher, friend, and mother of this community.

But then, sitting on my mat, I just started. Breathing, "hearing" Adriene voice inside my head. I did all the tings I remembered, and for the first time I managed to do a yoga session all by my myself! Proud! I have been doing daily yoga for 2,5 years, and today I realized I really have a vocabulary internalized. Although I prefer doing yoga with the videos, this was a nice experience.

    I’m a dental hygienist and my neck and shoulders are killing me. I searched on line for neck/shoulder stretching. This video popped up. This was my first yoga experience. I did exactly what you said to do and no joke. The pain is gone. I’m thinking of doing yoga daily now.

      I must have something else because it didnt work for me.
      I am plagued with neck pain most days, and it can stay for many days in a row. (Of course it triggers headaches so everything above the shoulders hurr, jaws, eyes, whole head, whole neck.)
      I have to sleep a certain way or else.
      I have to sit a certain way.
      Cant skip meal or not drink enough else headache.
      I massage. Put a hot pad. (Headche pills usually dont work either)
      Right now it's so bad on my left side only. Nothing works and I know it can last all night too, until waking up with it the next morning.
      I saw someone who tested my neck, nothing wrong there my movement and jaw seems ok according to him.
      It controls my life along with other health stuff I have.
      I cant sit on my couch and lay the back of my head (not the neck) on something, because after 2 minutes it's uncomfortable.

      Adrienne is doing a 30 day yoga challenge right now (it’s on day 28 but you can start whenever). I also have a desk job which hurts my back. Try to go to gym for walks but Adrienne has changed my life in no ways that the gym can. This is my go to video whenever my neck pain flairs up. Honestly if I do this every day, it’s nearly gone. I gotta keep up with it lol. Good luck u guys got this. Yoga is life changing.

    I’ve saved this one as I know it will be used frequently, a perfect practice to fit in whenever my neck and shoulders feel tight.

    You have no idea how grateful I am for this video. I have been watching this 10 minute video for years. I do hard manual construction labor, and every time my neck is hurting I watch this video and it’s amazing. This is the most powerful 10 minute neck yoga sequence. Thank you so much I am so grateful for this video
