Breathing Your Shoulders Down

There’s a new video fit tip today on Ellen Barrett Mindful Movement called Breathing Your Shoulders Down. It’s short and sweet, and I think we all could benefit by watching it right now, because it’s about releasing neck tension. I’m seeing lots of neck tension in people (myself included) across the board – kids and adults, men and women, on TV and in real life. Ugh… let’s loosen up people! 

As a fit pro, I am particularly clued in to neck tension because it’s dangerous. It stops us from breathing big and stops us from being open energetically. Over time, this translates as fatigue and misalignment – definitely two undesirable effects. 

So try to give yourself two minutes to watch Breathing Your Shoulders Down. May it become your go-to de-stress move, from here on out.
