Release Neck & Shoulder Tension, Reclaim Your Voice


A 7-day movement journey that traces your neck and shoulder pain back to its root,  from your foundation, to your breath, to your heart, so you can breathe deeply again, stand open, and speak without holding back.


Begins October 2

Start Course

Over 7 days, this movement course traces the chain from your feet to your voice — releasing the neck and shoulder tension that isn't really about your neck and shoulders, and opening the breath, your posture, and presence to speak what's true.

Your shoulders are carrying more than the weight of your head. They're carrying the promotion you didn't ask for, the boundary you didn't set, the words you didn’t say because staying quiet felt safer. Your body has been keeping the score. Each day, the teaching draws the line between what's happening in your body and what's happening in your life, so the ache in your neck or the tightness in your chest stops feeling random and instead gives you information you can interpret. From there, we move, building from your feet all the way up to your voice, so that as the physical tension releases, there's room to understand what it's been holding onto.

The 7-Day Program

DAY ONE

Up to 10 minutes of teaching on how your upper body holds patterns of unexpressed emotion, followed by pre-movement journaling, a movement sequence to bring awareness to where you're gripping and protecting, and post-movement journaling to notice the difference between holding and releasing.

DAY TWO

Up to 10 minutes of teaching on how your feet and pelvis affect your shoulders and neck, followed by pre-movement journaling, a movement sequence to ground your foundation and release the thoracolumbar junction, and post-movement journaling to track what shifted higher up the chain.

DAY THREE

Up to 10 minutes of teaching on diaphragmatic breathing versus accessory-muscle tension, followed by pre-movement journaling, a movement sequence to reconnect your ribcage and bring your breath back down into your belly, and post-movement journaling to notice how your neck and shoulders responded.

DAY FOUR

Up to 10 minutes of teaching on chest-thrust versus chest-collapsed postures and what they protect, followed by pre-movement journaling, a movement sequence to anchor your shoulder blades and find true alignment in your chest, and post-movement journaling on what it felt like to find the space between armor and hiding.

DAY FIVE

Up to 10 minutes of teaching on your deep neck flexors and the "core of the neck," followed by pre-movement journaling, a movement sequence to activate that deep support so your head can rest lightly over your spine, and post-movement journaling to notice how your head and skull feel.

DAY SIX

Up to 10 minutes of teaching on rotation, the side body, and how they connect to your throat and voice, followed by pre-movement journaling, a dynamic movement sequence to open what's been closed, and post-movement journaling on what's ready to be spoken.

DAY SEVEN

Up to 10 minutes of teaching that brings the full week's chain together, followed by pre-movement journaling reflecting back on Day 1, an integration movement sequence from feet to crown, and post-movement journaling on how you want to carry this forward.

What to Expect Each Day

Every day opens with a 5 minute teaching that correlates the physiology of what's happening in your body with the psychology of what's happening in your life. From there:

Before You Move

A short journaling prompt to reflect on how that day's theme is already showing up for you,  in your body, your habits, or your life — before the movement begins.

Movement

A 10-minute guided sequence to release what's gripped and build the support that's been missing.

After You Move

A short journaling prompt to reflect on what shifted, in your body and beyond it.
