Seated Side to Side Neck Bend on Chair
Seated tall, tip one ear toward its shoulder, then the other; unlike the held side stretch, the head keeps moving.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on a chair, hands on the thighs, shoulders low.
Steps
- Tip one ear toward its shoulder, nose forward.
- Keep the other shoulder pressing down.
- Return through the middle and tip the other way.
Common mistakes
Lifting the shoulder to meet the ear: the ear comes down to it. Turning the face: the nose points forward all the way. Swinging the head across: slow tilts, a pause on each side.
Breathing
Exhale into each tilt, inhale through the middle.
