Can Yoga Help My Neck Pain?

Yes! Yoga can 100% help with neck pain. And back pain. And shoulder pain. Yoga can be an effective practice for those suffering from a stiff neck, neck pain, a mobility issue, or posture problem. My gentle stretches and strengthening poses help improve flexibility and strength in the neck and surrounding areas.

If you spend long hours at desks or use electronic devices frequently (who doesn’t?), cultivate awareness of body alignment and alleviate pain through these simple practices:

“No More Neck Pain”

Use simple movements to alleviate strain in your neck. End your class with a cooling yoga breath technique called sitali breathing that you can use any time throughout your day when you need to regulate and relax.

“Dissolve Neck Tension”

Dissolve your neck tension with a Myofascial Release Technique on the inside of your shoulder blades. Practice my favorite seated neck stretch and breathing patterns that dissolve overall tension.

“Decompress Neck and Free Your Shoulders”

Use a strap to traction your neck and decompress the cervical spine. You'll also free up your neck and mid-back through gentle movements and Myofascial Release on Blocks. Accessible chair class.
