I tend to do one per day, one after another and then start all over again. I like your way of teaching, it's very comforting and soothing. Thank you once again, have a nice day and take care!

    With 4 herniated cervical discs, I follow along with a plethora of different upper back/neck Yoga videos at least 5 days a week. In all of them, many of the stretches are quite similar. Until this video. This was an absolutely fantastic approach to what ended up being very restorative yoga. I love that at no point does the neck need to be extended beyond the limitations of someone with a neck injury. When I was new to the practice of yoga for my neck, I hadn't yet figured out that with a permanent injury such as that I have, that some of the poses could do more harm than good as far as causing pain goes, and so feel your approach to getting those same areas stretched out in a way that protects the neck from overextension is a flipping god/goddess-send. Also, this is the first time Ive left a comment for any video, ever, if that speaks to how fantastic I thought this video was. Furthermore, it offers stretches of areas in the shoulders and upper-mid back that are quite uncommon. That whole region feels amazing after this video, instead of even more sore!

    This is one of two of your neck-and-shoulder routines that I've had in my rotation for close to a year. I honestly think yoga has made my monthly chiropractic visits unnecessary. Thanks for your part in this!
