Diagonal Neck Stretch

45s each side hold · standing

Turn your nose toward your armpit, then look down.

1. Stand or sit tall with your shoulders level.
2. Turn your head about halfway toward your right shoulder.
3. Drop your chin down toward your right armpit.
4. Rest your right hand on the back of your head and let it hang there.

Tips: Turn first, then drop. That order is what reaches the back of the neck. Let the hand rest without pulling. Its weight is the whole point.

Easier: Skip the hand and use the weight of your head alone. Reach your free hand down toward the floor to keep that shoulder from riding up.
