1. Kneel on the floor with your knees only slightly apart. Press your hands against your lower back and gently roll your neck back so that you are looking at the ceiling.
2. Stretch your torso back until your head touches the floor, using your hands for balance. Your palms should be pressed flat against the floor with your fingers pointing toward your feet.
3. Raise your hips slowly, lifting your pelvis as much as possible. Lengthen your upper spine and very gently walk your hands toward your feet.
4. Hold this pose for one minute, inhaling and exhaling deeply. Release and repeat 10 times.

“Try this pose to get rid of neck pain”: Are you kidding me?! For one thing, the photo does not match the exercise you explained. If someone tried that pose in the photo without instruction they could be crippled for life if they tried to put the weight on their neck and not their shoulders. As to the exercise you explained, I am a beginning yoga student (3 months several times a week) and there is no way that I could do that. This requires a lot of flexibility in your quadriceps. Which part of your head touches the floor? The back, the top? There is no way I could even get my head to the floor… and then lift the pelvis while my shins are under me? I wanted to purchase your Living Social special but this has scared me off. I love yoga and your ads got my attention, but I believe this is dangerous to put on a website where beginners will be reading. Perhaps you do not want beginners at your sessions. These two poses would take a LOT of background in yoga practice. Thank you for listening. Gwynne
