Take the Weight off Your Shoulders – Yoga to Deeply Release Tightness, Tension & Discomfort from the Neck, Shoulders & Upper Back

Tightness, tension and discomfort in our neck, shoulders and upper back is very common these days, especially as so many of us spend many hours a day in front of laptops and phones, often working long hours and not always with the best set up when working from home.

In addition to that, tension in this area is a very common response to stress, as the shoulders tighten and our breath becomes more shallow as a result, and many of us are holding a lot of stress in our bodies and minds as a result of the challenges of the last few years.

In this workshop we will look at many different ways to release this tension and tightness and to bring more freedom and a feeling of lightness and space to your neck, shoulders and upper back.

We will do some longer held restorative postures to encourage a deep release of tension and opening of this area, and also look at lots of poses and stretches that you can do at home or in the office to counteract the effects of working long hours at a computer.

Regular practice of these poses and stretches will help to improve your posture, lower and loosen your shoulders and to find more ease and space in your upper body.

The workshop will also be very useful for mothers with babies and toddlers who often encounter stiff and sore necks, shoulders and upper backs from holding, feeding and carrying their babies and toddlers.

As stress is also a major factor in contributing to tension in the neck, shoulders and upper back we will also focus on some simple methods of breathing and relaxation  which can help release deep holding from the neck and shoulder area, as well as bring more inner peace and harmony to our whole being.

We will finish with a long, guided relaxation to really allow any last remnants of tension and stress to fully melt away.

This workshop is suitable for all levels, and complete beginners are very welcome.
