Hey you,
If you’re here because of that neck stretch—hi, welcome, and yes, it really does feel like magic, doesn’t it?
But I promise it’s not.
I made a video to explain what’s actually happening—because as brilliant as it feels, it’s not a fix-all. And I get a bit twitchy when things go viral without the “why” attached.
✨ And if you have no idea what I’m talking about you can find it here
In this Anatomy Focus video I talk trapezius muscles, stress shoulders, and why your neck suddenly turns further than you expected. I also introduce the vagus nerve—and how flexibility is about more than just muscles and joints. Sometimes, it’s your nervous system that’s holding on, and sometimes it just needs permission to soften.
If you loved the neck stretch, you’ll probably enjoy this one too:
Happy Hamstrings on Lazy Days.
Another not-magic-but-still-excellent stretch. Easy, repeatable, and you can do it in bed, so whats not to like.
Hope you stick around,
Jo x
PS
If gentle, nervous-system-friendly relaxation is your thing (or you want it to be), I’ve got something coming up.
✨ The 7-Day Relaxation Reset starts April 21st.
It’s not a movement course—it’s a week of short, steady affirmation meditations.
Perfect if you’ve never meditated before, or if your brain is a bit loud and you just want someone to talk you down gently every day for a week.
It’s for paid subscribers only, so now’s a great time to upgrade if you’d like to join us.
