Do you hold tension in your jaw?
The jaw has some of the strongest muscles in the body, allowing us to munch our way through peanut brittle, bruschetta and other crunchy foods, but sometimes they go rogue and cause too much tension. When these muscles are too tight, it can cause the neck to tense up as well and lead to headaches, neck pain and shoulder tension. Jaw clenching, teeth grinding, and postural issues such as holding the head too far forward all contribute to jaw and neck tension.
In this class, we’ll learn simple exercises, stretches and imagery that will release these patterns of tension, especially those patterns you were not even aware you were creating and actively maintaining. We will access our inner sense of movement to learn simple and effective ways to release your jaw and relax your neck.
