How to do it

Press both feet evenly into the floor to anchor your posture.

  1. 1

    Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the ground.

  2. 2

    Gently tilt your head to the right, bringing your ear towards your shoulder.

  3. 3

    Place your right hand over your left temple and apply a slight pressure for a deeper stretch.

  4. 4

    Hold for 15-30 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position.

  5. 5

    Repeat on the left side.

Expert tip

Do not pull your head with your hand; let the weight of your arm provide a gentle stretch.
