Stress in chest is relieved, but rises to throat.
Stress in chest is relieved, but rises to throat.
I had a feeling of stress in my chest. It is a heavy feeling. I did the backbend to stretch my chest, and now the feeling has gone up from my chest to my neck. I am new to yoga and do not understand why, nor know any exercises for my throat. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi brightside,

I'm not very clear about what is happening to you, but if you are looking for a neck exercise you can try the Lion pose.
Namaste,
Timothy

Hi!

Please check from your physician if you have acidity.
Reflux can cause this symptom & it works its way up to the throat.If your throat muscles are weak/lax it gets aggravated.
At Aiyana Wellness,where we have a program" Face Yoga Toning" (we work on the 57 muscles of the face)we had a similar experience.

Yogic Wisdom
These days, my practice is teaching me to embrace imperfection: to have compassion for all the ways things haven’t turned out as I planned, in my body and in my life – for the ways things keep falling apart, and failing, and breaking down. It’s less about fixing things, and more about learning to be present for exactly what is.
Anne Cushman

Ahimsa, the yogic practice of non violence must be adhered to when engaging in the practice of hatha yoga. Respect your body's limitations and inner wisdom, if something feels wrong or dangerous, please do not do it.
Please consult your health care practitioner before starting a yoga, pranayama or other exercise program.
