Tongue Exercises to Eliminate Neck, Jaw, and Back Pain

It may come as a surprise that the key to easing years of tightness, tension, and fatigue lives in your tongue, but that’s exactly what makes this discovery so powerful! This small, but often ignored organ influences your posture, your breathing, your emotional expression, and the subtle energy that moves through your entire upper body. When the tongue is tight or out of place, it can cause your neck to stiffen, your jaw to clench, your shoulders to grip, and your back to strain just to keep you upright. A single, simple shift sets off a chain reaction of relief that you can feel immediately, and it has the power to change the way you move, feel, and live every day.

Activate an Overlooked Muscle That Releases Pain, Restores Alignment, and Improves How You Feel Every Day

In this 45-minute Signature Session, face yoga pioneer and The Yoga Face author Annelise Hagen guides you through a powerful, single-experience transformation — no daily lessons, and no overwhelm, just one deeply intentional session. Using gentle tongue exercises, posture resets, yogic mudras, acupressure points, breathwork, fascia education, and subtle energetic practices, Annelise shows how the tongue governs the jaw, neck, shoulders, spine, and emotional expression. You’ll move through guided meditation, strengthening and activation drills, and integrative movements that dissolve long-held patterns of tension. By the end, you’ll feel lighter, your face more relaxed, your posture more naturally lifted, and equipped with tools you can use for a lifetime.

What you’ll get from this Signature Session:

  • How tongue posture influences jaw pain, neck strain, shoulder tightness, headaches, facial pressure, and upper- or mid-back discomfort.
  • Targeted tongue stretches that create immediate release through the jaw, neck, shoulders, and upper back.
  • How to lift and support the front body fascia for better posture, easier breathing, and a lighter, more open upper body.
  • Facial acupressure points and gentle strengthening that soften tension and create a naturally lifted, relaxed appearance.
  • Mind-body tools that support easier expression, clearer voice, and emotional ease through the throat and heart centers.

Benefits you can look forward to include:

  • Feeling less tension in your jaw, neck, shoulders, and upper back
  • A more naturally lifted posture that feels easier and more sustainable
  • Deeper, smoother breathing as the chest and throat open
  • A softer, more relaxed face with reduced clenching and holding
  • Greater comfort while working, moving, and resting throughout the day
  • A clearer sense of ease in speaking, expressing, and connecting
  • More energy and lightness as the body stops fighting hidden tension patterns
  • Tools you can use anytime to release pain and restore balance quickly

what people are saying

“I’ve been experiencing jaw and neck tension for over a year and tried various massages, chiropractors, and other treatments without much success. This Signature Session helped me release tension throughout my jaw, temporals, neck, and even in my clavicle. Amazing, thank you!
Jorge
“These techniques help with the neck muscles, especially if you hold a lot of tension there. In the city, stress is constant. This works immediately to ease it.”
Forest
“This workshop is revolutionary. It gets you stretching in places you would not normally stretch, especially after a rough day. It even makes you smile.”
Naya
“I have had TMJ for years — so severe that it has damaged my teeth and gums. The tension in my jaw is overwhelming. These exercises helped me release my jaw, and I even started yawning, which was the most stretching I have done facially in a long time.”
Karen
“I did not realize the tongue is so connected to overall wellness, not only in the jaw, neck, and shoulders, but in the whole being. The breathing work is calming and releasing. You make some strange expressions in the workshop, but it is worth it for the facial freedom.”
Maya
