Yoga: Relief from Neck and Shoulder Pain with Lillah Schwartz
 
THIS IS THE SECOND offering we've seen in the last 10 years from Schwartz, a certified Iyengar instructor, Back Power Trainer, and founder of Lighten Up! in Asheville, North Carolina.  Relief from Neck and Shoulder Pain, is a follow-up to her excellent Freedom from Back Pain.  The video begins with 40 min of thorough instruction and continues with 20 min of guided practice consisting of just about a dozen-and-a half exercises and poses, including a reclining twist, belly and neck strengtheners, a couple of spine stretches, Downward-Facing Dog and lunge, several different shoulder openers, a chair-sitting twist, a "door-hang" chest opener, and relaxation.

Schwartz once again has done a commendable job.  The sequence is effective and accessible to all levels of students, her instructions are clear and precise--as you would expect from an Iyengar-certified instructor--and she covers necessary cautions, benefits, and common movement errors and their corrections.
