I am not exaggerating when I say that this class was transformative. It was the key to solving a lifetime of neck pain and tension. Now when I feel that familiar pain coming on, all I have to do is this class and the pain and tension go away. Nyk is a wonderful teacher and her other classes are excellent as well.
Thank you! This means a lot. So glad you are getting relief <3
This is a wonderful sequence for my tight neck and shoulders. Thank you!
Sweet and useful.
Thanks Nyk !
my pleasure :-)
Good medicine!! Really helps to ease tension in the neck and shoulders as advertised. I love Nyk's yin videos, and I'm so happy to have just discovered this particular video. It works miracles.
Yay! So glad you found it helpful!
Wonderful after waking up with a stiff neck!
So glad it was helpful <3
Lovely class. My neck and shoulders thank you!
My pleasure <3
First time I have done yin yoga. It is quite slow!
Slow, still and deep.
I’m a runner and martial artist and often end up with neck tension that can lead to migraines. This practice made a huge difference in releasing those muscles. Thank you so much!
Yay! My Pleasure
A match made on the mat. Thank you Nyk, from Nyki :-)
A great release and relax before bed after a long flight yesterday and long day at my desk today
Perfect
Wonderful release. Thank you.
My pleasure
Thank you for such a lovely neck & shoulder release, Nyk. Mine were so SO tight that I could hardly bear it, and this class has given me the release I desperately needed. Awesome. Namaste. x
Yay that makes my heart happy!
Yay! thanks for practicing with me.
Thank for the video! The asanas were helful although I would've been happier with more of them. Found it too slow for my own pace. :)
Yin Yoga is slow. If you aren't familar with Yin Yoga I have a whole video on here where I break it down and how it's different than movement forms of of Yoga. Sometimes the challenge in Yoga is to give ourselves permission to slow down.
Yin Yoga IS Slow it’s supposed to be.
If you are new to Yin Yoga I recommend starting with The intro to Yin Video here on Do Yoga With Me
That was a really great and short stretch to start or finish the day. Thank you!
My pleasure <3
After nine hours straight of kitchen work I really needed this, it really helped with the pain and tension in my neck, back and shoulders. Thank you so much!
I bet! So happy it helped <3
Wow! I always have a tight and tense neck/right shoulder situation, and I feel freer after this short practice than in a long time. Thank you Nyk! I also switched my legs up every 2-3 exercises.
A small thing that makes a big differnce.
Whoot! Thanks so much for practicing with me.
Lovely practice. I enjoyed it very much. During the seated poses I changed my leg position with every pose, which added a lot of comfort for me.
great feedback Thank you <3
It definatley helped realease the tightness in my neck and shoulders.
Whoot! Mission accomplished.
FANTASTIC for tight upper arms and shoulder. I broke my upper arm (long ago!), but have always notice some tightness in my right arm/shoulder. This calm and deep exercises were very useful. I can feel the change. GRACIAS!
Just one comment, I had a hard time with my lower back all throught the sit sequence....Is there anything that can be done to release the tension in my lower back
I changed positions several times. crossing legs with the right on top, the left on top, then straight legs...
yes great!
Check out my 'how to sit' video here it will likely help.
this is a difficult class somehow.. couldnt finish it
Try doing less strong versions of the poses.
Thank you. I appreciate your explanation of options. You are beautifully calm.
Thank you <3
