Never underestimate the power of a little… de-Prawning 🦐
Especially if you spend long hours sitting or working at a desk.
Just because your job keeps you seated doesn’t mean your body has to stay still — give yourself permission to wiggle a little

Set an alarm every hour while you’re working & take these 3 moves for a spin.
Your back, chest & shoulders will thank you later.

I keep coming back to this position; it’s simple, but incredibly effective.

So many of us hold tension in the neck without noticing it. Hours at a desk, daily stress, endless scrolling, driving, constantly tilting the head downward… it all quietly builds up over time.
This gentle neck release gives those overworked muscles a chance to soften and switch off.
As you allow the weight of the head to drop, the deep muscles at the base of the skull can stop bracing and begin to relax. Staying here for 2–3 minutes often allows the neck to unwind, the upper spine to decompress, and the nervous system to shift toward a calmer state.

People often report:
* reduced tightness in the neck and upper cervical area, with a feeling of more space through the upper spine
* slower, deeper breathing
* an overall sense of calm spreading through the body
Let gravity do the work for you.

Not recommended if you have a neck injury, dizziness/vertigo, or uncontrolled high blood pressure.

Your body needs this more than you think… just a few minutes a day 🤍
Let me know in the comment below what you think 😉

1️⃣ Chin support (prone)
Place foam roller under your chin while lying on your stomach
✔️ Keep shoulders relaxed
✔️ No tension in your neck

2️⃣ Shoulder opener (prone)
Foam roller under your elbows
✔️ Let your chest open naturally
✔️ Breathe slowly

3️⃣ Chest opener (supported)
Foam roller under your upper back between shoulder blades
✔️ Let your chest open naturally
✔️ Let your body relax into it

I am using my foam roller in the video, however feel free to use blocks, books or something softer.
I mentioned holding for 1 minute in the video, but if you can stay longer — do it. The longer you hold, the better your results. Build it up gradually and add time over time.
Always listen to your body ♥️

Be honest…
Did I catch you 🦐ing?
Before you start feeling guilty for sitting like a normal human, don’t worry ☺️

There’s nothing wrong with a little rounding.
Just maybe don’t live there ALL day every day… your neck, back & general existence will thank you 😘
