Somatic Yoga For Neck & Shoulders
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Enjoy this combined practice of somatics to increase range of motion with functional movement for the neck and shoulders. This practice is particularly helpful if you spend a significant about of time seated, look down at a cell phone often or have a desk job where you are hunched over a keyboard. In somatics, the term red light reflex describes a torso position when the front body muscles are short and pull you forward and back body is in "slump-asana" (head forward, shoulders and back rounded). The red light reflex is the bodies natural reaction to withdraw or shrinking away from fear. This primitive response is useful to protect our vulnerable front side from attack, but becomes problematic and painful when habituated. It even limits our breathing. Where this position used to be seen mostly in advanced age, it is now more common at all ages due to prolonged sitting, electronics and stress.

Thank you thank you thank you. Beautiful practice!
Always nice to give the neck and shoulders their spa time
True therapy for the neck and shoulders. Thank you, Meghan! This practice is so comprehensive, providing us with an understanding of breath work, anatomy, the shoulder girdle, the pelvic girdle and the inter-connectedness of all aspects of our being, not just bodily parts. Many thanks for your excellent instruction and wisdom. Blessings and much love.

I so these kind of exercises in Laban technique . whats the definition for somatic yoga. thank you
My definition of somatic yoga is any accessible yoga where the focus is on the internal experience instead of the form or end goal. You can look up somatics, somatic movement and somatic exercises as well. Peace to you Vanuhi
