Sit on your shins in lion pose. Open the jaw and extend the tongue toward your chin as you exhale (I know but bare with me). Then, move both the tongue and eyes in unison as you move them up, down and to the sides.
As you come into camel pose, be mindful of the open chest, neck, base of skull, and jaw, notice if you are holding any tension in these areas. Open the mouth and extend the tongue. Repeat the sequence then move into Lions Pose or to Down Dog.
In downward-facing dog pose, rest your forehead on a bolster. Breathe feeling the tension releasing from the chest, neck, base of skull, and jaw.

I also enjoy my yoga classes, once a week, during 1 hour. I do gentle flo< yoga because I am a chronic pain patient & it gives me all week energy & I am feeling much better since!
That’s fantastic Sophie ! Its amazing how doing the right things just an hour a week makes all the difference. I am glad it has helped you manage your chronic pain 🙂
I meant gentle flow yoga!
I think I’ll give this one a try. I suffer badly from neck and shoulder pain, and this looks helpful for both. Thanks!
These should help your neck and shoulder pain immensely … all the best 🙂
