The Ear to Shoulder
Note:
The ear to shoulder pose stretches your neck, your trapezius, and your shoulder muscles. You can easily perform it anywhere, sitting or standing, provided you keep your spine straight throughout. Individuals with a neck or shoulder injury should avoid this pose.
Pose Instruction
- Begin by sitting or standing with a straight spine. Inhale.
- Relax your arms and gaze straight ahead. Exhale as you lower your right ear toward your right shoulder. Do not tilt your head forward or backward.
- To extend this stretch (optional), place your right hand atop your head. Do not pull, but let the weight of your arm add to the stretch. Return your arm to your side.
- Breathe in and raise your head to the starting position.
- Take a breath, then repeat this process to the left.
