What it does:

Gets rid of shoulder and neck tension, helps lift the shoulder blades and collar bones up off the rib cage for better posture.

How to do it: Stand or sit with your spine tall. Inhale, then exhale deeply while making an “s” sound. As you inhale for a count of three, slowly lift your shoulders up toward your ears. Exhale with an “s” sound to a count of three as you roll your shoulders back, and finally lower them down as you inhale to a count of three. Repeat five times.

Use our unique “Zen Clock” which functions as a Yoga Timer.  It features a long-resonating acoustic chime that brings your meditation or yoga session to a gradual close, preserving the environment of stillness while also acting as an effective time signal. Our Yoga Timer & Clock can be programmed to chime at the end of the meditation or yoga session or periodically throughout the session as a kind of sonic yantra. The beauty and functionality of the Zen Clock/Timer makes it a meditation tool that can actually help you “make time” for meditation in your life. Bring yourself back to balance.
