{neck and shoulders}

A tight neck and shoulders is an unfortunate fixture of many of my days! Every bit of stress and tension (good and bad) have is knotted up right there. Here are a few things that help me!

1. Foam Roller: rolling out my back on my foam roller is helpful. I also thread the needle with my foam roller in front of me, resting my neck on the roller.

2. Tennis Ball: lie on the floor and place the ball under any knots. This can get pretty intense. I know I'm in the right spot when I feel sick to my stomach. But use your own indicator!

3. Yoga: duh. But more than just doing the yoga, pay attention to your neck and shoulders in class. Most people hold their neck and shoulders tight in their practice unless prompted to drop them.
