Yes, simple. And often helpful when done consistently. Many options supportive of our well being are very simple. Its in choosing to do them that we benefit. Sometimes it can become a pattern to dismiss and not make time for choosing the simple things like meditating, stretching & strengthening, massages, hydration, alone time as well as relating with others, etc.. Thinking we are too busy for such indulgent, simple quiet experiences.
Yet it is in choosing to equally prioritize including these experiences in our daily - nightly living that we nourish our wellness, feel more enjoyable in our body, calm & clarify our mind & healthy priorities.
This simple opening for anterior torso helps release accumulated tension in the back, neck and jaw ( sometimes extending to hips and legs ) developed from holding our body somewhat upright even as head, shoulders, neck, areas of spine shift forward of center.
As often happens when we get over focused on looking, hunching & leaning forward & down using phones, computers, reading, writing and many other activities.
Even using pillows under head when resting or otherwise pushes neck & head forward out of healthy alignment.
This & variations helps bring balancing opening to our body.
