Loosen Up

 Stand with your back and hips against the wall, knees bent and feet farther than hip-width apart. Lean forward and place your hands on your thighs, keeping your abs tight. Round your spine and tuck your chin toward your chest to create a curve from head to tailbone.

Hold for 30 seconds; continue breathing gently, then stand straight with your head and shoulders against the wall. Tilt your head to the left, holding the right side of your head with your left hand, feeling a stretch in the right side of your neck [B, next page].

Hold for 30 seconds, then switch sides.
