    Understanding Neck Pain

    What causes neck pain?

    01

    Prolonged desk work and poor ergonomic setup causing forward head posture

    02

    Excessive phone use ('text neck') straining cervical muscles

    03

    Chronic stress and tension accumulating in the neck and shoulders

    04

    Cervical spondylitis and age-related degenerative changes

    05

    Sleeping in awkward positions or using unsupportive pillows

    06

    Whiplash injuries or sudden neck movements

    Yoga addresses neck pain by strengthening weak muscles, releasing tight fascia, improving posture alignment, and calming the nervous system. Unlike painkillers that mask symptoms, yoga treats the root cause through guided movement and breathwork — under the watchful eye of a live instructor who corrects your form in real time.
