Use Yoga To Get Headache Relief

By Jaks Lloyd

Well, I think that most people do, if only occasionally, mainly because of our hectic lifestyles and associated stresses.

It’s all too easy to reach for the pills but why put what is effectively poison into your body if you can help it.

If your headaches are frequent, the wisest move is to consult your doctor but if they are only spasmodic then are some very useful yoga exercises that could help to drive the stress away. As soon as you start to feel a headache coming on, and obviously if it is convenient, you should begin the following yoga exercises. Any delay will make the headache more difficult to alleviate.

10-Minute Power Yoga

By Denise Austin, Prevention

Everyone I speak with feels fantastic after doing yoga. This great form of exercise stretches and strengthens your muscles simultaneously. Adding in the ball and band allows beginners and advanced students alike to explore yoga postures in a new way. I’ve incorporated the ball and band into my favorite yoga postures such as the Warrior, the Balancing Stick, the Mermaid, and more.

The exercises run in a flow sequence, and you can do the entire sequence as a 10-minute routine, holding each move for up to 1 minute. You can also deepen and hold each pose longer for added benefits—a great alternative when you have more than 10 minutes for your routine.
