Reverse Curvature of the Neck

1. Standing, hip width apart and parallel. Drop your chin towards your chest, further lengthen the back of your neck and then keeping the chin in lengthen the left side of your neck and (keeping that) drop your left ear towards your left shoulder. Now rotate your head to look towards the ceiling

2.  Repeat twice on each side

3.  Lion tongue: Return head to upright, chin down extend your tongue out of your mouth straight forward, (not down yet) stretching it from its route. Make it as wide as you can and then keeping it extended, fold it down, reaching the tip towards your toes. Do this three times, on the last one take a very deep breath into your belly and then from your belly 'ROAR' as loudly and deeply as you can. Retract tongue back into mouth.

4.  Draw the chin down, lift the upper back, shoulders back and down, and then extend the arms over head and with the chin down, take a 12pt back bend, leading with the shoulders, focusing your attention on arcing the upper back not the lower back.

5.  Now keep that and bend your knees as deeply as you can, taking care to keep the thighs and knees parallel.

6.  Return to standing and repeat 1 - 5

7.  Take a seat on the front edge of a chair, feet and legs parallel. Feet hip width apart

8.  Placing your index fingers below your ears, feel for the 12pt indentation below / beneath your ear lobes. Now pressing firmly into the tissue (this may hurt) find a line of tension that runs from here straight down the side of your neck. Roll the fingers (index and middle fingers) forward and back horizontally across the tight ropes of muscle that run vertically up the sides of your neck. Move down a half inch or so and repeat until you reach the bottom of the neck.
Do this for at least 3 minutes, or as long as you can.

9.  Draw the chin down and in, (the lowest part of your scull should move back slightly).
Then turn your head to the right, to face your right shoulder. Lift your chest, lengthen the sides of the neck, lifting the ears straight up, lifting the chin slightly, lengthen the back of the neck, then twist a little further, reaching your right jaw further to the right. Then with the finger tips of the right hand, hold the chin down and press in slightly as you reach your right ear towards the ground behind you.

10. Repeat on the other side.
