Relive Neck Tension with Yoga

When your neck begins to ache, what do you do to treat it? Do you tilt it to one side and let it stretch naturally? Do you ice or heat it? All of these sound like good options, and while massage can certainly be another way to ease neck pain, there's another solution - yoga!

A new study suggests that "weekly yoga classes, combined with short daily home practice, may improve chronic neck pain" (Natural Standard). So not only is yoga helping your body calm down after a long day, but it's helping those tight neck muscles relax.

Take a look at this slideshow courtesy of Mind Body Green to see what kinds of yoga poses can relive neck pain. 

If you're still finding that your neck is not easing up, contact Suzann Hart-Biddision of Boulder, CO to schedule a neck massage.
