Shoulder and neck stretches

Try these shoulder and neck stretches to release tension and stress in the body:

1. Stand or sit up straight with a nice long back.
2. Place your left arm behind your waist with the palm turning outwards and your right hand over the top of your head with the fingertips reaching your left ear.
3. Breathe in and slowly release the air whilst lowering your right ear towards your right shoulder. Hold the position for a few easy breaths. Turn the head gently so your right chin is near your right shoulder. Hold this position for a few easy breaths. Lower the hand on top of your head, roll both shoulders gently, and repeat the exercise on the other side.
