The shoulders and the neck
a) Sit with your back straight, arms down and eyes closed. Tense the muscles of your shoulders bringing them to the front as much as possible, while breathing in. Maintain this posture for five seconds. Then relax by letting the shoulders fall back while you breathe out. Repeat ten times.
b) In the same position, with your eyes closed, tilt your head back raising your chin as much as you can and breathing in. Maintain posture for five seconds. Then lower your chin, at the same time breathing out and opening your eyes. Repeat ten times.
The face
a) With your eyes closed, tense the muscles of the mandible and mouth by clenching your teeth and pressing your tongue against the palate. Maintain this pressure for five seconds, then relax your mandible and tongue. Repeat ten times.
b) Puff out your left cheek, and keep the air in for a second. Pass the air to the area behind your upper lip, and keep it there another second. Then pass it to the right cheek and keep for one second. Repeat five times.
