Neck & Shoulder Comfort 4 Week Series

August 19-September 16, 2026

Each week we explore a new lesson that helps uncover habitual postures and movements that contribute to tension and pain in your neck and shoulders.
You will:
• Recognize how you create extra work for your neck and shoulders
• Achieve better skeletal support which leads to more comfort in your neck and shoulders.
• Move with more awareness
• Improve flexibility, mobility coordination & balance

Week 1, August 19: Bringing more of yourself into the action of turning. You’ll learn how to turn your head using your whole body taking undue stress and strain away from your neck.

Week 2, August 26: Bringing more of yourself into the action of reaching. Sensing how lack of movement in your ribs causes tension held in your neck, jaw and shoulders.

Week 3, September 9: Sitting without sufficient skeletal support can lead to pain and muscular tension in your back, neck, and shoulders, in addition to hips. In this lesson you’ll learn how to sit in a better organized, and more flexible way. These gentle movements, done while sitting in a chair, reduce the stress of sitting on both your skeletal system and muscles. We’ll also be repeating these movements while lying on your back on the floor.

Week 4, September 16: Many of us tend to hang out on one side of ourselves more than the other--that could be on our feet in standing or through our hips in sitting. This imbalance puts undo strain on our necks and shoulders—especially in using our arms to reach for things. You’ll discover which side of yourself you prefer to hang out on and learn how to gain some balance and shift weight easily between the two. Using side bending movements, we’ll be inviting our ribs and torso to aid in reaching with our arms to help reduce stress and strain on neck and shoulders.
