Release the Neck

Hello! This was wonderful! Can someone tell me with years of neck stress, pain and tightness how long I will have to do this to see real improvement? Thanks so much! I do feel better after just the one class.

Wonderful! I've been struggling for weeks with neck and upper trap tightness. Very helpful.

That was a great start for my traps and sore, creaky neck! I could do that x3 easily.

That felt so good. Thank you. It's amazing how much tension I've been holding in my neck.

Wonderful. Just what I needed. Thank you.

Wonderful every time! Thank you.

Thanks so much for this class, David! I have had serious neck tickness that actually causes problems with my pectoral muscles. I was wondering, how often can this specific practice safely be done? I have been doing it 4 days a week but am wondering if more would be better.

This class has meant tremendous relief for me when my neck and the back of my head where locked up badly. So much thanks to you, David!

Fabulous, like every session I’ve had with David Procyshn. Thank you.

This is helping with my headaches and migraines. Thank you.

That was great. The different feeling of stretch as we moved our neck was intensive but felt great. As this is a short class in this ongoing inter. program, I think I'll finish off today with some of Melissa's restorative practice.

I've had neck and shoulder tension and resultant headaches for a good while, this felt wonderful and so relaxing, thank you David!

I've had a kink in my neck for the past week, and this has become my warm-up for the day. Relieves some neck pain and I can feel my neck getting more lose every day, allowing me to continue with additional classes. Thank you David.

Thanks David for helping me get rid of a tension headache this morning . Your gentle voice, excellent guidance and relaxing pace made this perfect. I feel like I can get on with my day and enjoy it!

Great neck practice. David is wonderful with his guidance!

I've had a crick in my neck for days, and this really helped me to work it out! Thank you, David!

Need this, love this.
Thank you, David.

Loved this one, great stretches. Thank you.

An Mri and CT for other reasons showed four bulging discs and stenosis in my neck. But, I have no symptoms. Surgery was firmly suggested. Probably screws and rods. I declined as I have no symptoms. Reading I find interesting information that the discs have no blood suply to speak of and receive nutrition as a result of motion. Also that stenosis and spurs are thought to be the body's work to strengthen and protect the neck. Better alignment achieved with your yoga my cause the body to begin to remodel the vertebra as spurs and stenosis aren't needed. I like these ideas. And, your neck release yoga definitely realigns my neck. When its out there are BIG snapping noises on one side during initial rotation which disappear as the the lesson continues. Thank you David! Microsurgery may be a later issue. But, for now you are the maintenance of a no symptom life. It's been five years since surgery was recommended by the head of Spine and Neck at a big university hospital and I'm still without pain or symptoms.

Every now and then, I wake up with a monster crick in my neck. This class usually helps me relieve the pain.

This short video is a salvation to me as a migraine sufferer. It stretches the muscles that lock in my neck after a stressful day or in the morning to prepare for an eventful day. Thank you David for this excellent video. I've been using it for years.

So good to take care of the neck like this.

No link to rate or enter contest? Anyway, LOVED this one! Like with wrists and hands, parts and variations can be done during the day while sitting at computer, when often most needed. Thanks David for reminder to straighten spine. I find myself slouching during the exercise.

Another great reminder that yoga is for anytime & anyplace to relax & release tension! Well done David!

Another very good job from David. I've had so many new tools to add to my tool kit through this challenge and this is another great one. Thank you.

I woke up with a crick in my neck a few days ago. This class has a series of neck stretches, it's like a library of neck stretches that I can use throughout the day. Thank you.

I have an old injury in my neck from a bus accident that occurred many years ago. These stretches provided immediate, gentle relief of some of the pain I've been experiencing for far too long. Thank you.

Didn't notice my neck after the practice which was refreshing as I have continual tightness that serves as a constant reminder. Thank you!

This is a treasure, and a great start for meditation.

I have chronic stiffness and pain from injuries and this always makes me feel like I've had a massage - I can do it even on my most painful days - it brigs back so much mobility!

It's almost like you are reading my mind when you designed this class. I have chronic pain/stiffness and have been diagnosed with degenerative disks in my lumbar (and cervical) spine. This class will definitely be in heavy rotation, as I can already feel the space between my vertebrae opening up and making room for my nerves. Thank you so much; I'm grateful. Namaste.

The instruction in this class is just what I needed. All too often I forget to regard my neck and will find it aching or tender after inversions. My neck mobility after this short, but sweet class is always significantly improved. Thank you.

Thank you for this great neck release. My neck does feel lighter and much more free. Enjoying this challenge very much.

Thank you, David! I had forgotten about this one, and remembered it tonight after a day teetering on the edge of a migraine headache. This class loosened my neck up and is going to help me go to sleep without bringing all that tension with me, and my headache is almost gone. Seriously - thank you!

Hello David - thank you so much for this short session. I have chonic neck stiffness/pain, and this slow and gentle approach is perfect for me. It will definitely be in my rotation of daily neck stretches from now on :)

This practice always makes me feel better. Sometimes it even takes away my headaches completely. Thank you, David, for this gentle but effective class.

Thank you, David - that was THE best neck release. I'm going to bookmark your class for when I need it.

Short, sweet, and perfect for stretching the neck before bed. Thank you!

I am a senior citizen who has been diagnosed with spinal stenosis and have been having severe headaches several nights a week to the point where I needed to get out of bed and sleep in a recliner. I searched the internet for some relief besides getting another cortisone injection and came across this page. I have been doing the neck exercises for 3 weeks now and have not had one headache. Thank you so so much David, I feel blessed to have found you. I definitely will continue this and other exercises on this page.

I'm pretty sure you have saved my neck. This class helped me realize how incorrectly I've been holding my neck and why I've been experiencing so many problems and pain in my neck and shoulder. Just after one day, yesterday, of keeping the awareness of how to hold my neck, my pain is almost completely gone. Thank you for sharing your gift of bringing clarity and awareness to the subtle intricacies of the body. You are a skilled and gifted teacher and I'm so grateful to have found your videos on YouTube!

Wow my neck feels fantastic after this challenge!

Ahh! This is a great class.

I had a migraine a week ago, and it left my neck so sore and tight. This class was amazing! Definitely part of my migraine recovery now. THANK YOU!

So calm and slow. This was just what I needed.

A very nice practice..... my neck was so tight, I probably would have benefited from doing this twice.... or pausing the video to hold each pose even longer. Thanks!

Thank u it's fantastic!

Mindful thorough neck release. Feels wonderful!
