Day 11 I enjoy instructors who introduce new poses to me using blocks and blanket. My neck feels great, relaxed.

One of my older favorite classes. I woke up with a horrible neck and did this first thing this morning. Wonderful class!

This class was wonderful! It involved some lunges, which got into my hips as an added benefit, and twists as well. The Spotify playlist said it wasn t available so I clicked onto another playlist made by Patrick. Clear cues, perfect poses.

Poses are done slowly and explained well. My neck feels so much looser!
By Carla | Thursday, January 14, 2021
I liked rolling my head from side to side on the edge of the block. It really did hurt so good, and now my head feels lighter on my shoulders.
By J | Thursday, January 14, 2021
Perfect for after a day at my desk. I feel lighter, looser, and longer through my neck and upper shoulders. This will be a new go to for me.
By Jordan | Thursday, January 14, 2021
The block under the base of the skull was amazing. I didn t realize how stiff and tight it was.
By Sandra | Thursday, January 14, 2021
Really helped to release tension in the neck, thank you
By Connie | Thursday, January 14, 2021
Very nice
By Albert | Thursday, January 14, 2021
A good class within the reach of every person. I hope I do not offend the facilitator, but his body is closer to what we all have, people in normal life. When I sometimes see facilitators with a slim and perfect body, it seems unreachable.
But this class not. It seems simple, but bit by bit the teacher brings you in positions you normaly do not go. And you feel it. And enjoy it afterwards. I am Especially gratefull for the last two poses, the one with the inclined block under the head and the one with the nicely prepared blanket.
Thank you,

Great restorative class...
By Mikayla | Thursday, January 14, 2021
Juicy is the only word that comes to mind for this practice! My neck needed this today. Thank you for the tilted block pose, Patrick.
By jan | Thursday, January 14, 2021
I come back to this particular practice because it works
The only change I make is more breathes in downrdogs.

So unbelievably relaxing!! I feel amazing right now!
By ST | Wednesday, December 9, 2020
Such a great class. I have been doing it once a week or so for months now. I have chronic neck and shoulder pain and always turn to this one when it has given me a headache that nothing else will help. There are also techniques in it that I love using as tools outside of the class (like the block massage, so good). Sometimes if my pain is more acute I change the downward dogs to puppy poses and the lunges to seated or pigeon pose to make it even more restorative. Thank you Patrick for such a lovely class.

Great class. Really worked to remove tightness in my neck & shoulders. Thank you!
By Derrick Barry | Wednesday, September 9, 2020
Just what the doctor ordered! I feel really good after that. Best class I ve taken to get deep into your neck.

As someone who has constant upper back, shoulder, and neck pain, I ve tried pretty much all of the classes directed at these areas. This one is definitely one of the best. Love the block massage toward the end.
By Fermented | Thursday, January 2, 2020
Very good class. I have a persistent neck and shoulder issue, so I have done basically every class on that topic on all streaming services. This is definitely one of the more interesting and unique sequences and that s a good thing. Anyone, including me can sequence the usual basic neck and should poses that are "recommended" everywhere. This class is valuable due to the poses targeting deep into the pain and his excellent description of moving and adjusting the pose the get just the right spot. A fantastic teacher.
By Lisalag4 | Sunday, September 1, 2019
Oh my. This sure was Neck Nirvana. It got the spots not only in my neck but also the shoulders.
I had some nerve pain that caused a migraine. This definitely helped. I will favorite this and repeat.
Thank You for the relief.
By AnneO | Thursday, January 17, 2019
Lovely, relaxing class with nice slow stretches for sore neck, upper back and headache. My headache was 80% relieved after this class.
By cbennett | Wednesday, September 19, 2018
Wonderful class that so helped to release my neck!
By lisab | Sunday, January 7, 2018
Wish I discovered this class sooner, happy to be first of 2018 lol!! Such an amazing class, love your voice and instruction along with bhakti grace, felt so amazing, and thank you also for the final block occipital release pose, sending gratitude!!
By Kittykat1 | Sunday, June 4, 2017
Bliss out?! You bet! The block at the base of my skull was the most pleasant discomfort I have ever felt. I had one of those curl up in the foetus position and cry headaches behind my eye when I began this practice. By the end of practice, Shazam! It had disappeared. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
By MNWildRose | Friday, May 5, 2017
Thank you for this fantastic restorative practice to relieve upper back and neck tightness. Your verbal descriptions of how to best benefit from the poses were perfect. I feel terrific after spending time with you today, Patrick. Namaste.
By earth being | Saturday, January 14, 2017
I did this in the evening, my upper back and neck were very stiff. The sequence was calming and very effective in releasing tension. Expect neck adjustments on twists and a final variation on corpse pose. Perfect before going to sleep and when feeling tired and overwhelmed.
By Jess | Saturday, January 14, 2017
Hurts so good! This was like going to the chiropractor, but better. I also appreciate the separate playlist. Thanks, Patrick.
By D | Sunday, December 11, 2016
This class was awesome. I started the class with a headache and started to stop and take some aspirin. I challenged myself to push through the class and not take any meds. By the time I was done with the class, my headache was gone. This is definitely a class that I have saved as my favorite.

By Robbie | Friday, September 2, 2016
Thank you for this Yoga class. I am very new to yoga, and this is my first venture beyond beginners Hatha. I truly enjoyed the class. I have always carried a lot of stress and tension in my neck and this class really loosened me up. I may not be able to totally get into or stay into all the poses, but I could feel the benefit after the first class. Also, Patrick Montgomery was great. This yoga novice was able to follow along with ease.
By Tulsi | Monday, March 21, 2016
Patrick Montgomery offers delicate sequence that exhibits his knowledge, skill and experience. This class is in keeping with his other classes in terms of being mindful to micro movements that made the body feel aligned and great.
By Leslie | Friday, January 8, 2016
Truly an "ahhhhh" experience for the neck, back, and shoulders. Expertly guided nirvana experience. Thank you!!!
By sasqi | Wednesday, December 30, 2015
Provided gentle but much needed intense release of neck tension I was experiencing. Will turn to as a remedy!
By elise fabricant | Saturday, December 12, 2015
I am an experienced yogi and a person who suffers from chronic neck pain. I can t thank Patrick Montgomery (and yogadownload) enough for this class - through it I learned new yogic techniques that have empowered me to take care of my own aching neck.
By emedwell | Sunday, October 18, 2015
I ve found this class looking for some practice to release the pain in my neck and shoulders. I m glad I ve done it! I feel lighter after the class and the tension in my neck and shoulders if not gone completely, definitely eased.
By betinamae | Friday, October 9, 2015
Pure bliss! I love the skull massage, and the accompanied music recommendation, which, helped me meditate and focus within throughout this video.
By Lola | Friday, September 25, 2015
The visualizations he gives in this class are amazing!! They allowed me to find a much deeper relaxation and stretch.

Just what I needed for my sore "mouse" shoulder! I also enjoyed the neck stretch with the block.
By Kelley Griffin | Tuesday, July 28, 2015
My neck needed this!
By shelly | Friday, July 24, 2015
I could cry this is such a wonderful blessing! I hold lots of tension where head and neck meet, its where my migraines and vertigo spells originate. Thank you so much Patrick!!!! Namaste
By kblachere | Monday, July 13, 2015
This is a great class for people with stiff necks and shoulders. It s slow and gentle, but it includes several lunges, so you feel like your lower body is getting some good attention as well. Patrick s voice is very soothing, and his cueing is excellent. I got some new ideas about how to feel the poses, and even a few new twists on existing poses. I also like that it doesn t have a music soundtrack included. Oh, and my neck feels great!
By Marine | Monday, July 6, 2015
Excellent class! May I suggest that you do neck+ eyes yoga some day? It would be amazing.
By Lavender | Friday, July 3, 2015
My neck was feeling sore from using the computer and smartphone too much this week. This practice was relaxing and very effective in loosening up my neck. I feel much better!
It s uncomfortable for me to sit back on my heels, so I sat crosslegged during those poses instead and it worked well for me.
Thank you for this wonderful class. I will use it regularly.
