important exercise for your neck...

Chin Drawer:

Widen your shoulders and pull your shoulder blades down your back lifting your sternum. Align yourself for Tadasana. Pretend your chin is a drawer(do not lift and tuck, but move forward and back parallel to the floor.)

Bring your chin back until your ears line up over your shoulders(as in the first drawing above) and hold for a deep breath. Repeat daily or even several times through out the day while standing in Tadasana-Mountain Pose.

Do this exercise alone or with some of the exercises posted here. It is good for your neck and brings relief from conditions like stiffness, stenosis, and arthritis in your neck. Strengthening the upper back can help with and prevent problems with the neck. Stay tuned for more on that subject!
