1. Lateral surround

Sit upright and keep your shoulders relaxed. When you exhale, lower your head and place your chin on your clavicle, stretch the back of your neck, then inhale and move your chin to your shoulder along the direction of one clavicle, and repeat on the other side. Alternate left and right for 3-5 sets.

Raise your head: Still maintain an upright sitting posture, inhale and slowly raise your chin, keep the front of your neck stretched, breathe naturally for 2-3 times, then relax your neck, and repeat 3-5 sets.

Benefits: These two sets of neck exercises can relieve neck pressure with very gentle force, prevent and relieve tension and headaches, and make blood circulation in the head and neck more smooth.

2. Sitting Mountain Pose

Sit on your heels, keep your spine straight, stretch your arms upward, interlock your fingers, look straight ahead and breathe for 6-8 times.

Benefits: Stretch and straighten the body, stretch both sides of the back, strengthen the waist, and relax the shoulders. Regular exercise can help your body maintain a sense of ease.

3. Downward Dog

Place your feet as wide as your hips, toes facing forward, and press your hands on the ground as wide as your shoulders. Keep the angle between your body and legs at about 90 degrees. As you inhale, lift your hips upward. Exhale, let your heels fall toward the ground, and bend your knees slightly. At the same time, relax and sink your shoulders, distributing your weight evenly to your hands and feet. Do not exert force on your head and neck. Hold the position and breathe 6-8 times. Repeat 3-5 times.

Benefits: Stretching and relaxing the spine, improving the flexibility of the legs and shoulders, supplying more fresh blood to the head, expanding the chest, increasing energy, and relieving fatigue.
