Three Yoga Poses for Headaches

Due to weather changes, lack of sleep, getting the incorrect eyeglass prescription, stress, and not drinking water are some of the reasons for getting headaches. However, by doing these Yoga poses it might help to get some relief from headaches. There are several Yoga poses that are recommended to relax the body and the mind. One Yoga pose is called Legs up the Wall pose which helps for the blood circulation. The second Yoga pose is Seated Forward Bend and the third Yoga pose is Seated Side Opener. 

In order to do the Legs up the Wall Pose, you will need to fold blankets or use a firm pillow. Place the folded blankets or the firm pillow on the floor. Then, slowly lay down on the floor while supporting your back and your neck. Then raise your legs up the wall. Keep your legs up on the wall for ten to fifteen minutes.

Sometimes pressing on your heels can help you relax and release any built-up tension. The Seated Forward Bend Pose is beneficial for the nervous system and stretches the entire body. By sitting on the floor and pressing on your heels, your back and neck will release the tension and will get better blood circulation to the brain. Overall you will feel better and will gain flexibility.

Last, the Seated Side Opener Pose will help you feel more flexible. This pose balances your body. Moving from side to side opens the rib cage and helps with the lower back. Some headaches can be caused by having poor posture. If your headaches do not go away, consult with your primary doctor. Here are more resources about these Yoga poses.
