Neck Circles

How to do it

  1. Stand or sit tall with shoulders relaxed away from the ears.
  2. Let your chin drop gently toward your chest to begin.
  3. Roll the head slowly to one side, then back, then to the other side in one smooth circular path.
  4. Keep the circle small and controlled rather than forcing a wide range.
  5. Breathe naturally and move slowly enough to control the path at every point.
  6. Complete circles in one direction before reversing to the other direction.
