How to Release Your Neck and Shoulders | Movement With Ease

Neck and shoulder tension isn't always about tight muscles that need stretching. Sometimes it's about rediscovering how movement can be shared throughout the body. In this Movement With Ease class, we'll explore the connections between the jaw, head, neck, thoracic spine, rib cage and shoulders. We'll discover how: Thoracic mobility creates more movement options for the neck and shoulders. The shoulder blades glide and rotate through natural scapular rhythm. Muscles cooperate through force couples rather than working in isolation. Jaw clenching changes sensory information communicated to the central nervous system. The sphenoid bone connects with other cranial bones and provides an anatomical reference for exploring the relationship between the head and jaw. Rather than forcing muscles to relax or holding ourselves in a perfect position, we'll use gentle movement, anatomical imagery and curiosity to discover new possibilities. Our goal isn't simply to release tension. It's to restore reciprocal movement, allowing strength, stability and ease to emerge through cooperation.
