Why Your Neck & Shoulders Stay Tight (Even When You Stretch) | Yin Yoga

from Yoga with Melissa

Stop Stretching Your Shoulders Like This | Yin Yoga for Real Relief Feel Incomplete & Curious? 👉 https://melissawest.com/membership If your neck and shoulders keep tightening even though you stretch, do yoga, and try to relax… you’re not alone. For years I’ve taught yin yoga classes focused on deeper stretching and long holds, and I found in my own body those same strategies were actually creating more tension and even triggering migraines. In this class, we use a simple yin yoga shape to slow things down and notice how tension is being created in your body. You’ll explore small changes in how you use your shoulders, arms, and head so the tension in your neck and shoulders can reorganize. The result is not just temporary relief, but a different way of moving that reduces how much tension builds up throughout your day. If this felt different, this is the somatic movement education approach we return to inside my membership, where you learn how to build this into your everyday movement: 👉 https://melissawest.com/membership
