Neck pain is very frequent and can be caused by a variety of circumstances. These include recurrent forward movement patterns, poor posture, and the habit of holding your head in one position.

It doesn't take much to produce pain in this area of your body, and that pain can easily spread to your shoulders and back. Headaches and even injuries can result from neck pain.

Yoga is a fantastic method for relieving neck pain. In at least one study, persons who practiced yoga for nine weeks experienced pain reduction and functional benefits. You can learn to release any tension in your body through practice.

Yoga may be beneficial in the treatment of persistent neck pain.
