• Dahn Yoga tip: Focus on Yourself

    Without a goal, we have no choice but to endlessly chase after the thoughts of others. We envy those who know more or have more than we do, and we live out our lives completely forgetting our own brains. Such things happen to us often unless we are focused on ourselves. - Dahn Yoga

    Dahn Yoga Neck Exercise

    By Michela | September 17, 2008

    Workstation Posture AdviceAs a continuation of my last post, here are simple Dahn Yoga neck exercises for strengthening and releasing tension from your neck. Be sure to concentrate on your neck as you do the exercises.

    1. Place your hands on your waist. Move your head very slowly in a large circular motion, touching your chin to your chest as it moves forward. Repeat this 5 times. Breathe naturally and make a circle in the other direction.

    2. Relax your neck muscles completely and lower your chin to your chest. Clasp your hands behind your neck and relax your arms. Inhale, and using your arms, pull your chin to your chest. Hold for 5 seconds. Exhale and return. Repeat this exercise 5 times.

    3. With your head facing forward, inhale and try to touch your ear to your right shoulder. Hold for 5 seconds. Exhale and return. Repeat on the left side. Repeat this motion 7 or 8 times. Move your head very slowly, with the rest of your body relaxed.
