Chair Yoga: Yoga for achy neck and shoulders
summary
Short guided chair sequence that targets neck, shoulders and upper back using only a chair and breath: abdominal breathing to drop shoulder tension, repeated chin tucks and neck rotations for decompression, shoulder rolls and arm circles, wrist and forearm stretches, hanging forward to release cervical spine, and triceps/armpit opens. Instructor cues pacing and micro‑adjustments, suggests doing the 10–15 minute routine before meetings to reduce RSI and stress, and reports immediate loosening and improved breathing.
