How to do a neck roll

  1. Sit tall in a cross-legged position on your mat with hands resting on your knees and shoulders relaxed.
  2. Drop your chin toward your chest and begin to slowly circle your head to the right, bringing your ear toward your shoulder.
  3. Continue the roll, taking the head gently back and around to the left, keeping the movement smooth and controlled.
  4. Reverse direction and roll the head the opposite way, letting your breath guide the pace.
  5. Return your head to center and hold tall for 3-5 breaths.

Form tips

  • Keep your spine long and shoulders down away from your ears.
  • Move slowly and avoid forcing the range of motion.
  • Let the weight of the head do the work without straining the neck.
