Yoga Poses Seated Neck Circles  Moving your head in slow, gentle circles is a great warm up exercise before stretching and a nice way to complete a series of neck stretches. If you are suffering from whiplash, post fracture or disc problems, either avoid this move or be very careful.
Seated Neck Flexion This is a gentle stretch for the back of the neck, including the semispinalis, oblique capitus and erector spinae.
Seated Neck Oblique Extension This pose stretches the muscles that simply dont get stretched enough... muscles that on many are chronically tight and can cause headaches. Those muscles include the sternocleidomastoid and the anterior scalenes.
Seated Neck Oblique Forward Stretch There is no better stretch that gets the muscle that attaches to the shoulder blade from the neck, the Levator Scapula. This can be a chronically tight muscle for many, making this stretch a great source of relief.
Seated Neck Rotation One of the ways that we accumulate tension in our neck is by turning it quickly to look at something without awareness of how it feels. This pose focuses on ensuring that you have proper alignment while improving your necks range of motion.
Seated Neck Side Stretch This move stretches the muscles on the side of the neck, including the Upper Trapezius, Scalenes and Erector Spinae.
Seated Neck Side Stretch with Rotation This stretch is designed to access the anterior scalenes, a layer of deeper neck muscles that cover both sides of the neck. They are often quite tender and tight, so this stretch can provide a lot of relief.
