- Neck Rolls: Gently drop your right ear towards your right shoulder and roll your head in a circular motion, then switch sides.
- Chair Pigeon Pose: Cross your right ankle over your left knee while sitting, keeping your right foot flexed to protect your knee. Lean forward slightly to feel a stretch in your right hip.
