Without tilting your head up or down, draw your chin straight backward as if sliding your head along a track. Feel the back of your neck lengthen and the front of your neck gently engage; keep eyes level. Hold for 3\u20135 seconds while breathing normally. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat for 8\u201312 controlled reps.
