    Most "tech neck" is functional, not structural... this means you can fix it! Be sure to grab the PDF in the description above. Any questions or suggestions? Just ask! Hope this helps. - Lucas @ YOGABODY

    These videos you’ve been posting are perfect. I love that you do the timed stretch-along at the end. So many videos explain some sort of exercise routine but then leave you to set your own interval timer or whatever. I appreciate your format sooooo much. I realize it takes that much longer to film, so thank you (and I hope you see sweet monetization results from people playing your content every day)!

    Thank you Lucas, this is very helpful and doable. One common ‘structural’ problem area you didn’t mention is wearing multifocal glasses, which so many people do wear, and which tend to lead to chins up in order to read the screen through the lower reading portion of glasses. It’s a real problem to us computer bound workers and no helper for our necks!

    I am so happy that I saw this video, I have been suffering from neck pain since more than a year event though I am only 32. It was creating huge problems. I've been doing these exercises every day for 2-3 weeks and the neck pain is for most part gone since I started. I'll never stop doing this, thanks for the wonderful exercises!

    Thank you Lukas. This is really helpful and doable. One functional problem you didn’t address was the wearing of multifocal glasses which when reading through the lower quadrant of the glasses results in the lean forward and chin up posture.

    Thank you Lucas for this excellent video! Also for letting us know that “tech neck” is a functional issue and fixable! I have watched so many videos looking for the right one for “tech neck” the front of my neck was so tight and locked so I came up with this chin tuck before doing these exercises I folded a towel several times laid on my stomach on my mat put the towel between my chin and mouth for a chin tuck I did your breathing method for 2 to 5 minutes just relaxing into it with stretching and extending in mind when I got up my neck was so elongated I could hardly believe it I’ve been walking around the my home doing chin tucks for awhile with not much results now adding this routine twice a day with the mat chin tuck is showing remarkable results! Thank you for this wonderful video so many of us needed it.🙂🧘

You do an incredible at this. would you mind sharing any insights about Hip abductors and their function? I have been experiencing difficulty sitting in a cross-leg position even though I have been sitting since my childhood but these days I am struggling with external hip rotation during poses. would really appreciate any insights from you. Thanks for all of your work.
