Movement

Ear to Shoulder

The plain, gentle stretch for the side of the neck.

Ear to Shoulder, standing position

45s each side hold · standing

Drop one ear toward your shoulder. Let the other shoulder fall.

  1. Stand or sit tall, facing straight ahead.
  2. Lower your right ear toward your right shoulder.
  3. Let your left shoulder drop away from your ear.
  4. Breathe, and let the weight of your head do the rest.

Tips: Do not lift the shoulder up to meet your ear. Let the head travel instead. Keep facing forward. Turning the head moves the stretch off the side of the neck.

Easier: Rest your right hand lightly on your head for a little more weight. Hold the edge of your chair with the opposite hand to keep that shoulder down.
