5 Yoga Asanas That Help Alleviate Headaches and Migraines

For those battling frequent headaches or migraines, yoga offers natural and effective relief. Experts recommend five specific asanas that improve circulation, reduce stress, and calm the nervous system.

Child’s Pose (Balasana) gently relaxes the back and neck while promoting deep breathing. Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) boosts blood flow to the brain, relieving tension. Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana) helps release pressure in the upper body and reduces fatigue.

Legs-Up-the-Wall (Viparita Karani) is known for easing migraine symptoms by calming the mind and lowering blood pressure. Corpse Pose (Shavasana) allows the body to enter a deep state of relaxation, aiding recovery from intense pain.

Practising these poses regularly can not only ease current discomfort but also prevent recurring episodes. Pair with deep, mindful breathing for best results.
