Stretch for your day

Let's get those shoulders away from your ears. Here's a stretch for the tops of your shoulders/side of neck. On a firm chair using good posture, sit on your hands (helps to keep your shoulders down and level) keeping your face forward, gently lean your head to one side (think touch ear to shoulder motion) until you feel a gentle stretch (if it hurts, don't do it) and hold for a few breath cycles (in and out). Return to center. Pause. Repeat on other side. Pausing for a few breath cycles and to feel the muscles relaxing.
