Well, the title already gives it away: this is some tender loving care for your neck and shoulders. If you've been working from home a lot recently, or if you've been carrying children (or heavy groceries) around a lot, or if you've been driving a car for a longer period of time - this one's for you. Expect a meditation and some slow, gentle, sweet stretches to get out of your head and into your body, and in the meantime, take good care of your neck and shoulders.

Delightful class. Grateful to have found it. Third class i tried tonight to get some release after a long day, and third time was a charm. Thank you and namaste.
Cindy21.09.2020
Awesome class! Glad to see you back Irina. The kind energy of you and the beautiful dog comes through so clearly filled with love. Gratitude, love and blessings to both of you.
Irina23.09.2020
Aw! So sweet! Thank you, dear Cindy. Hunter (he's Ekhart Yoga's Kirsty's dog) is gorgeous and full of love indeed. It was a pleasure to teach with him. Warm hug to you!
Claire26.11.2020
Love this class. It works so well to loosen out stiff shoulders and neck. Your lovely calm voice and sweet canine companion also help.:). Thanks Irina!
Irina26.11.2020
Aw... thanks, Claire! So happy to hear that. And yes, Hunter ("my" canine companion - he's actually Ekhart Yoga's Kirsty's furbaby) is incredibly sweet indeed. :-) x
Silvia27.09.2020
this was Special One for me Irina...lovely mate to do yoga with :-) Thamk you
Irina29.09.2020
So happy to hear that, Silvia! Thanks for sharing! And yes, it was just as lovely for me to practice with Hunter (Ekhart Yoga's Kirsty's dog :-)). x
Jill19.09.2020
Thank you I will check them out, myhorse is fine thanks😊
Irina21.09.2020
Oh, glad to hear about your horse! I hope you'll enjoy the other classes too. :-)
Jill18.09.2020
fantastic class for me today ,fell off my horse and needed to reset .thank you
Irina19.09.2020
Oh, that sounds painful, dear! I hope you'll feel better soon. And I hope the horse is doing okay. I'm glad to hear this class was a good match for you! I do have a few more 'recovery classes' here on Ekhart Yoga, maybe they'll be a good match right now too. Either way, sending a warm hug your way!
Francesca19.10.2020
Thank You, dear Irina! A really useful class for mums. Babywearing and generally carrying a newborn and a toddler all day long is exhausting for the upper body. It will be great to have on this platform a series of classes like this (also 30 minutes is perfect!) as selfcare for mums. My shoulders feel much better now. Namaste, Francesca
Francesca22.10.2020
Thank you Irina. Yeah, self-care for mums, postpartum mums, pregnant mums....it's so important during these days of pandemic! Many courses are deleted and mums are often home alone with children. It's a lot of work. I think a series of classes especially for mums will be very welcome!
Francesca23.10.2020
Ohhh!!! I didn't see this course at the Ekhart Academy before! Is it online for long time? It looks really good! I see that for postpartum there is just one class. Really helpful, thank you! After two pregnancies I think that postpartum time is the hardest one because you need to take care of yourself and a tiny human (or maybe two!) at the same time. It's a ton of work at all levels. It's also the period most negleted (while during pregnancy there is such a big offer). If you will record a full postpartum series it will be so great (pelvic floor, shoulder, and neck while brastfeeding or babywearing, mental helth, food...and so on). As you already know there is so much to talk about and practice. You are such a great teacher. Thank you for your input and sharing your knowledge. Namaste, Francesca.
Francesca23.10.2020
Wonderful! Keep me updated :) I love the idea of an extra program specifically for postpartum selfcare, especially during these difficult times where many mum are left alone and without external support. I gave birth on the 10th of July that is why I missed your program :) I don't know if you remember but we have been practicing together in the EkhartYoga studio while I was taking the YTT with Esther. I really love your approach. Thank you!
Francesca25.10.2020
Thank you Kirsty & Irina for all the inputs and tips. I really appreciate them. I have looked at the playlist shared by Kirsty and I had already the chance to practice at least one class from the suggestions (as all mums it's hard to find time for selfcare!). Sending you a big and warm (virtual) hug, Francesca.
Kirsty23.10.2020
Hi Francesca, I'm not sure if you're aware but we also have a few playlists focused on practices for new mums. Perhaps there are some practices that are helpful for you in there too: https://www.ekhartyoga.com/playlists/5923/post-partum-yoga https://www.ekhartyoga.com/playlists/18918/strengthening-after-pregnancy ...and even some classes to do with your baby: https://www.ekhartyoga.com/playlists/19292/yoga-with-your-baby Let me know ho you get on, love Kirsty x
Irina20.10.2020
Thanks so much for sharing, dear Francesca! I can imagine it must be exhausting for the (upper) body to carry a newborn and a toddler around all day. I love the idea of a selfcare series for mums. I'll think of how to create one. :-) xx
Irina23.10.2020
You're so welcome, dear. Did you know that I already do have a self-care for pregnancy (including pre & post) course on the Ekhart Academy? It's from an Ayurvedic perspective, so lots about food, selfmassage, tips & tricks, and of course yoga too. In case this might interest you, here's the link: https://www.ekhart-academy.com/ayurveda-pregnancy. x
Irina23.10.2020
Hey dear! The Ayurvedic pregnancy course is a very new one - we created it this summer! I love your ideas and am discussing them with the Ekhart team. So... stay tuned. :-) And thanks for the idea. x
Irina25.10.2020
Hey dear Francesca, Thanks for your message again. Yes, that makes total sense - that you missed the program because of giving birth. Congratulations, by the way! A bit belated, but still, from my heart. And yes, I do remember practicing together in the Ekhart Yoga studio, waaaaay back. :-) Did you see Kirsty's comment above? I think you wrote the comment at the same time, so you might've missed it. Also, Kirsty, thanks for joining the conversation! Very helpful. To both of you: sending a warm hug your way! x
Irina26.10.2020
Oh, that's great, that you actually could find the time to practice a class from Kirsty's suggestions! Hopefully there'll be many more opportunities in the future. :-) x
Donna22.11.2020
Thank you Irina for a lovely practice. I've been having increasing neck pain recently partly due I'm sure to my make-shift at-home office. I feel looser already.
Irina23.11.2020
You're very welcome, Donna! And thank you for sharing. I can imagine the make-shift at home office isn't necessarily the best for your neck... I'm glad this class offered some relief though! I have a few more neck & shoulder classes here at Ekhart Yoga, you might want to give them a try too. If you select my name at the 'classes' section & scroll (quite a bit) down, you can find them. x
Alice20.09.2020
Thank you Irina and the loveliest dog :) This is a class I managed to participate in not being physically ok.
Irina21.09.2020
Thanks, dear! Sorry to hear you're not feeling physically okay. I hope you'll feel better soon. Warm hug to you!

Soooooo yummy !!!! And gentle <3 Thanks a lot Irina :) PS1 : your companion for this class was really cute ^^ PS2 : I hope you are recovering from your surgery more and more each day <3 Namaste
Irina23.09.2020
Aw, sweetheart! Thank you! I'm very glad you enjoyed the practice so much. Yep, Hunter (he's the furbaby of Ekhart Yoga's Kirsty) is amazingly cute indeed. :-) I'm feeling better and better every day indeed, thank you. Warm hug to you!
Suzanne06.02.2021
I'm in a short-term rental and the bed/pillow are not so comfortable. This was a nice antidote for morning shoulder/neck stiffness and a little lightness for my spirit. :) Thank you.
Irina06.02.2021
I'm very glad that this practice helped with the stiffness and discomfort! Thanks for sharing. :-) x
Ilse06.10.2020
Thanks Irina, lovely for my shoulders! I also had a yoga partner today, in the form of a kitty cat of course! xxx
Irina06.10.2020
Oh! So nice! And yes, I didn't expect anything else from you. ;-) xx
Francesca18.09.2020
Thank you Irina, lovely practice. Namaste
Irina19.09.2020
Thanks, dear Francesca! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it. Wishing you a sweet day!
Amy04.02.2021
Such a wonderful and relaxing class but impossible to concentrate on meditation when you have such an adorable student with you! I'll have to revisit this class and try again :)
Irina05.02.2021
Haha! Yes, sounds like you'll have to indeed. :-)
Kirsty05.02.2021
Haha, it's even worse when he lives with you, Amy! He's literally staring at me to take him for his lunch time walk as I type this comment. Love, Kirsty (Hunter's owner) xx
Sara31.10.2020
Hunter, thank you for such a lovely class. Perfect after a week of being hunched over a computer. Your furry self really helped to calm my whole nervous system. You are my favorite guest teacher on Ekhart Yoga. (Irina, you did a nice job as well) :)
Irina01.11.2020
Haha! I love this. Thanks, dear. And I agree that the credits to this class should go to Hunter. He's amazing. Big hug to you!
Kirsty01.11.2020
This made me laugh so much. Thank you, Sara - I will pass on the huge compliments to Hunter (who is currently fast asleep at my feet as I write this) Do I spot a fellow border collie in your profile picture? Love, Kirsty x
Janet07.10.2020
I had my own little assistant Dougal on the mat with me during this, every time I opened my eyes he was copying Hunter's position, so I think we got a two for one yoga class! We both enjoyed this immensely at the end of a long day, thank you 💜
Irina08.10.2020
Oh, that's SO sweet! 💜
Kirsty08.10.2020
Aww, that warmed my heart. Hunter is honoured he has has some online canine followers and says hi to Dougal 😆.
Deborah17.11.2020
Thank you Irina, this was lovely in every way. I’ll be coming back to it often. 🙏
Irina18.11.2020

Irina12.10.2020
So happy that this practice found you at the right time. I'm very glad it was a good match for you! Wishing you strength & ease in your healing process. A warm, cozy hug all the way from Berlin!

THe best neck and shoulder session. That felt so GOOD!! Thank you Irina and have a calming and lovely weekend . Namaste
Irina19.09.2020
Aw, sweetheart! Thank you! Have a lovely, relaxed weekend too. x
Liz21.09.2020
Thank you Irina for this gorgeous practice. The images of your"assistant" soaking up your voice and presence instructed me to do the same. Your assistant is a great teacher too. I found I needed to be comforted, and felt deep love and comfort stroking me too. Thank you both, love Liz x
Irina21.09.2020
Hi Liz! Thanks so much for your warm words! I'm so happy to hear you loved the practice. And yes, my dear assistant is an amazing teacher. :-) Warm hug to you dear.
Kirsty21.09.2020
Aw, this warmed my heart. I'm lucky enough to be Hunter's - Irina's assistant's! - owner and absolutely agree he's a wonderful teacher (of love, mainly) - so he and Irina are a fantastic team in that respect 💕
Karen18.09.2020
As always, a very lovely practice Irina. Very effective for relaxing neck and shoulders and got rid of a stubborn headache too 😊 Of course the gorgeous therapy dog friend added to the bliss 🤗
Irina19.09.2020
Thanks so much, dear Karen! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the practice so much, and that it helped to get rid of a stubborn headache. And yep, Hunter (the gorgeous therapy dog friend - he's the furbaby of Ekhart Yoga's Kirsty, by the way) definitely adds to the bliss. He was the cuddliest company I've ever had while teaching. :-)
Linn20.09.2020
What a wonderful practice with the gorgeous dog, thank you Irina, whole body relaxed!
Irina21.09.2020
Yay! So glad to hear, Linn! And yes, Hunter (the dog) is gorgeous indeed - and he knows it. ;-) x

Charlotte27.10.2020
Wow, Irina, this was my first class with you and I really enjoyed your style. I found the inhale/exhale instructions so helpful, I loved the pace and gentleness, and most of all I loved the way you accommodated Hunter. It would have been a lesson just watching that, even if I hadn't done the yoga. Thank you x
Irina28.10.2020
Aw! Thank you so much for your warm words, Charlotte! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the practice so much. Warm hug to you!

I had forgotten how lovely this class is - my shoulders really appreciate it and my heart appreciates Hunter being with you. Thank you Irina x
Irina04.11.2020
Aw, dear! Thank you. Happy to hear. x
Pauline23.09.2020
Thank you Irina, a lovely soothing and releasing practice. I will definitely be repeating again and again. Having Hunter there adds to the calming experience - he's so chilled out : )
Irina24.09.2020
Hehe, yep, he is chilled out for sure! I'm very glad he decided to join (and am crossing my fingers for my next recording days). I'm super happy to hear you enjoyed the practice! Warm hug to you.
Caroline19.09.2020
Thank you Irina, that was very relaxing.
Irina21.09.2020
Very happy to hear that, Caroline! Thanks.
Silvia Mid15.02.2021
Thanks for this lovely practice. I needed it for my neck.
Irina16.02.2021
You're welcome, Silvia! I hope it brought some relief. x
Silvia Mid26.09.2020
Thanks Irina for this practice. Your dog is lovely :)
Irina27.09.2020
Thanks, Silvia! Hunter (he's Ekhart Yoga's Kirsty's dog) is lovely indeed! :-) x
Sibylle19.02.2021
Ooh, thank you to both of you for this class! I really enjoy your calm, gentle style Irina and having Hunter smile at me at certain points when I looked at the video soothed my neck pain and migraine. (I actually did the class on the app but had to come to the comment section on the website to find out who the lovely dog is. ;) Who Irina is and that I love her as a teacher, I already knew. :)) The part where Hunter doubles as a bolster under your legs and also does a bit of a canine beetle pose made me think of when I still had three cats living with me that would draped themselves strategically around me in whatever floor pose there is. When they started purring I knew I got the relaxation part right. 😻 The only drawback with cats is that when they do puppy pose, there is some danger to the mat being shred into flakes... A balance between relaxing deeply and making sure no permanent damage is afoot 🤣
Sibylle20.02.2021
Haha, well, it does seem like he is a born performer. ;) But for the record: I did credit Irina for the lovely yoga part - and ultimately for being such a good teacher that Hunter -obviously an advanced yog - could shine so effortlessly. :)
Irina23.02.2021
Aw! I only now read this entire thread here - how sweet! You make me blush (and my heart dance), Sibylle & Kirsty! And just to point out the obvious here: the only reason I could shine here is because of Hunter's fluffy, cozy, warm support. Also, Sibylle, I totally relate to what you mentioned about practicing with cats. It's the same here with the two purring creatures living with me - shredding the mat into flakes, draping themselves strategically around me in each pose (and attacking my hair & toes, of course), teaching me that transformation comes with (cute) obstacles, some destruction and lots of love. :-) Big hug to both of you! x
Kirsty19.02.2021
Hi Sibylle - I'm glad Hunter made you smile. It's a good job he can't read as he'd be getting quite a big head by now! Love (Hunter's lucky owner), Kirsty xx
Kirsty20.02.2021
Absolutely - Irina is the star here 🌟
Christiane24.11.2020
What a treat, thank you so much!
Irina25.11.2020
You're very welcome, dear Christiane! x
