    The good news is technology is amazing. I edited one of my own yoga videos yesterday on mobile iMovie while riding the bus.
    The bad news is that smart phones are destroying our posture. Experts say that for every inch your head is tilted forward looking down at a screen, the pressure on your cervical spine (AKA your neck) doubles. As our phones evolve into mini super-computers, we’re glued to them for hours each day, creating muscle strain, pinched nerves, herniated disks and yucky headaches.
    Whether you’re addicted to CandyCrush or you’re a compulsive email checker, constant smart phone usage is pulling your chin forward and taking your head out of alignment with the rest of your spine.
    You can fix this (and avoid turkey neck) by doing some of the simple stretches I’ve put together below. You don’t need a yoga mat, yoga clothes or even the willpower to stand up. Do these seated as your desk right now!

    This has remained one of my favorites of your videos for years now. It’s SO effective for releasing neck tension in a short amount of time, and really calming and centering too.

    I need to do this every day considering I have a chronic neck issue that'll only get worse if I don't stretch it!!! Thank you so much, Brett!! You're the first yogi I found on UA-cam and I deeply appreciate your work. I've done a lot of your other yoga routines over the past 6 months. I've become more confident in my body and I know when to practice mindful breathing. I will never forget your channel, honestly. I've gone through a huge transformation in my personal life and your videos were there for me when I had no other answers.

      Holy crap! I've been getting back into pulling my mat out this last month and I was just casually going through my yoga playlist today. I got curious and checked the comments, and I completely forgot I commented! 5 years, still on this channel. I've been keeping up with you and your work and it just gets better, but there are some classics I always come back to.
