Gentle Yoga for Stiff Neck & Tight Shoulders 

My neck and shoulder pain was so bad due to bad posture. This helped so much 😭 Thank you ❤️❤️

I have spent hundreds of dollars on chiropractic. This has saved me even more hundreds since I started using it.

I was diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis & Degenerative Disc Disease in 2015, since starting your You tube videos I Have Gained 90% mobility in my spine, neck, and shoulders, as well as, Removing every reason for Disc replacement surgery. This is Truly Your Gift to Human Kind! Keep it up! I know I will. Aho!

Thank you for your wonderful video. I`m a 61 year old man, I took up yoga about a year ago to help relieve pains I have due to a motorcycle accident I was in at the age of 19. Recently I got a job at the church I attend, for the last three days I have been lifting tables and chairs for meetings at the church halls. My neck is (was) in a lot of pain, this video is great!. After only one time I feel so much better, your instruction is calm, informative, and flawless, I look forward to watching more videos, and leaving comments, but don`t worry...I won`t be a pain in the neck... Walt

Wow, Kris! I found my way back to this video as I was experiencing lots of neck and shoulder pain this morning, and I am so thankful for you and your practice. The ways you share yourself with the world :)

I have chronic neck and shoulder pain that has been particularly bad lately. I do yoga daily with a focus on classes that target this area. I don't think ANYTHING else has given me such immediate relief as this class. Even though the stretches are simple there is something about the way you explain them and sequence them that makes such an impact. I will definitely return to this often. Thank you.

I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I had a minor neck injury a couple years ago where I couldn’t turn my head left or right. Doing this video everyday for about 10 days, brought mobility back into my neck and shoulders therefore, joy back into my life and appreciation for the things I took for granted. Since then, I’ve been doing this video exercise almost every day! About 1100 times now. Thanks again!

Hi Kris, I live with chronic pain and have found your practice. Your gentle videos, sweet attitude, beautiful energy is perfect. And it feels so good! I didn't think I would ever start to get out from under this horrid pain and find someone to lead me to healing and gentle yoga that would feel so good. I can almost do the gentle, slow sun salutation video. I'm so excited! :) Baby steps. Slow, slow! Baby steps! Kris, you are doing something that is helping humanity. I just wanted you to know. Truly, from the bottom of my heart..thank you. God bless you dear sweet one! You are loved and appreciated by your students out here! And that just made me shed a little tear. haha

I am now doing this practice regularly and find a huge improvement in my neck pain and stiffness in shoulders. Even my Physiotherapist sees an improvement. Thanks so much Kris.

God bless you! I have been suffering with stiff neck and shoulders for quite a while now and these exercises give me a very nice relief. Thank you so much.

This is so simple and relaxing, one of my favorite neck practices. A longer version would be great!

Thank you!!! I mildly injured my neck a few days ago and this was gentle enough for me to practice but powerful enough to release the pain. What a difference. Thank you!

Holy crap! Broken neck several years ago and definitely still struggle with the soft tissue pain and tightness... not only did this actually loosen me up (miracle in itself) but it also didn't aggravate anything (whuuu?!) Thank you so much!!

My shoulders and upper often back can get so stiff that I can't relax or even fall asleep. But this practice works like a charm to release almost all of the tension. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Hi Kris, I'm steadily working my way through your videos. I enjoy them all, but keep coming back to this one over and over. It is so helpful and targets my stress zone perfectly! I've been checking out lots of yoga videos on RU-vid lately, and yours are by far my favorites, with your perfect voice, demeanor and pace. Please keep posting!

I started to feel my neck and shoulder stiffen up and starting feel painful after a morning's work at the computer, tried this and it really helped! Easy to follow and well instructed as well. Recommend a try!

I was in a minor car accident today, we were rear ended and I have a little whip lash, I was super sad because I was worried I wouldn't be able to continue my daily practice for a bit, but I've loved this video for a while now and I'm so glad I thought to come to it💚 it really lifted my spirits and helped me feel better. Thank you Kris ✨

I woke up with a terrible stiff neck, I've been practicing yoga for 3 months with yoga with Adrienne and yesterday I was doing headstand practice, I successfully got up and was so excited I pushed a little to much and strained. Today I did her neck routine but wanted a little more and found this. And I have to say I ended this video with thee biggest smile on my face and the thought of "I can't wait to try more of her videos" namaste 😊

Amazing! This is just what I needed for my chronic neck tension. I especially enjoy your focus on mindfulness. Thank you.

Loved this. I am a student in college. This is really helpful in releasing stress and tension!!!

loved the video, I have really bad neck pain and shoulder pain. please do more like this!

Yoga teachers are magicians

as a violinist, I put quite a bit of strain on my neck and shoulders (especially if I forget to move mindfully) - and so I find this practice incredibly helpful. Thanks so much!!!

I woke up with a serious stiff neck and shoulders this stretch really helped loosen up. Thank you!

I've done this practice for more than 3 times due to neck pain and tension. Thank you! These moves are simple but I do feel quite a relief afterwards.

I woke up with stiff neck this morning. Feeling better now after your neck stretching routine 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I've been having neck problems since 2013 and it even caused me to stop exercising. It's been pretty miserable. Nothing I found would work. Or it would make it hurt more for a few days. This last month or so I started getting better using this stretch I saw on another video, and then I found this one and it's just been amazing. I feel like it won't be much longer before my neck is 100 % again. Thank you!

I've been foing this for 3 days and I already feel so much better

You are the best yoga teacher I've found online to date! You explain things so well and don't rush. So happy to have found your neck tension video. Keep up the great work! :-)

I work in an office in NHS and always feel I have sore neck and shoulders these days. Tried this and found it so easy to do,, and feel a difference already. Will definitely be trying to do this more often. Thank you so much xxx

Thank you so much. Recently I've been having really stiff and painful neck muscles, and this helped so much. Awesome video.

I have chronic back and neck problems, along with migraines. Today was particularly rough. This was a lovely relief!

I was on my phone and I was slumping. Then after a few hours my neck had stiffened so I tried this video and it totally WORKED!!!!!!! I was surprised and truly releaved that my stiff neck is gone.

Thank you that was simple but effective. Gave me a quick mindfulness practice too!

THANK YOU! 💛💛 I woke up with a stiff neck yesterday and this helps a lot 😊

Got to say thanks, for this video. Long day of work with sore neck after. This helped.

Great! Love your mindful approach, and gentle reminders to stay focused on breath.

Thank you. This was the first video I saw of you. Definitely not the last.I enjoyed the experience and felt relaxed afterwards.

Man that was good! I slept odd the other night and my right side of my neck and shoulders have been stiff and sore for 2 days now. It didn't relieve all the pain and stiffness but I definitely felt some relief. Thank you! I am do it again just to see if I can get rid of the rest.

I may have to do this a few more times as my neck/shoulders are really aching & stiff, your voice is so soothing! thanks

thank you so much kris , your yoga really helped me to release pain from a big neck injury

Tried so many neck videos on different mornings, but not helped much. This one seems to have really eased the discomfort Thank you x

Pretty crazy how much this helped!

My neck has been stiff and sore for the last few days, I tried everything, including a bunch of other yoga videos yesterday. Just found this one today and WOW what a difference it made! I feel almost completely better! 😊 I will definitely be subscribing and doing more of your videos! Thank you! 😊

very straightforward and clear

This was so good to do just before bed, I have been super stressed lately because of school and my shoulders (particularly on the left side) have been super tense. I have looked around youtube but hadn't found anything as good as this. My shoulders feel a lot better now

Watch this presentation when ever I have Time, once again thanks Kris

Wonderful. I am a psychotherapist and I have been using it with some of my clients.

Amazing! Thanks so much- I tried self-massage, relaxing, walking- everything to get rid of my pain and this worked. :)

Great video! My shoulder and neck feel better now :)

I watch this every morning

Hi Kris, like the humour! I thought we were going to see you doing this exercise sat on the loo!!

May I say that you are simply amazing for sharing your gift online with others. I suffer from serious amounts of neck pain and neurological problems into my hands. This really helped me the first time doing it. I noticed the improvement immediately! Thank you so much!

Thank you for your soft gentle aproasch, it separates you from those who make yoga an athletic workout and is why I subscribed

Kris, thank you so much for this simple, but very effective stretching. The mindful motions gently challenge my stiff neck muscles. You are the best!

Absolutely LOVE the horse-themed shirt, too!!!

thanks kris. that was great. simple gentle stretches for my aching neck and shoulder. I'll be back for sure. Success for #tensiontamingtuesday !

Thank you so much! That relieved my headache.

thank you so much. I was wanting new stretches for my neck and shoulders especially this week they have been particularly stiff. this was perfect

I really love your video. So much work and raising a kid gives me a lot of stress making my shoulders stiff. But now I found your video and started yoga with you!! Thank you so much and I love your style which is so calm and touching:)

Hi Kris! Thank you for sharing these effective stretches! I work at a computer and have some pretty serious neck issues but this really feels great to stretch those tight muscles in my neck and shoulders. I enjoy your energy and feel calm in your presence (cyber, but still...) I will check out more of your videos and hope I can eventually feel loose as a goose! :)

thank you friend! I so needed this. I especially love your unique attention to placement of the shoulders during stretches which I haven't experienced in my many years of doing hatha yoga. Years of pulling the shoulder out of the shoulder girdle. So wonderful!

I loved this! It didn't help my sore shoulder socket much, but my neck feels sooooo good now... so that's a plus :)

That was wonderful! I love how you incorporate mindfulness into your practice. And, the icing on the cake, you are a fox!

I feel sooooo much better! Had major tightness in my neck but found great relief Thank you!

Loved that! Just what I needed this morning, thank you x

of all videos.. finally i found one right thank you.. been suffering 4day stiff neck..

Thank you Kris, I really liked your video & found it helpful, I hope to incorporate this into my practice ☺

Thanks. That was a brilliant little neck work out. I'm book-marking it. Maybe a little less talking at the beginning but otherwise perfect. My body cracked beautifully the first time. Thanks again.

I love this video, I have herniated disks in my cervical spine and I do these exercises several times a week.

Your voice is soothing, very relaxing. Thank you

Great energy and focus. I loved the video and will be back for more

You are an incredible instructor! 💜
