Yoga Sequence to Relieve Tension Headaches

When you're suffering from a dull, tension headache, try these yoga poses before reaching for medication. They're a series of forward bends and reclining poses that will soothe your head and release tension from your neck. They'll also improve circulation, slow down your breath, and calm your mind.

 

Begin with your feet together and fold forward, coming into a Standing Forward Bend. Use your abdominal muscles to draw your torso closer to your thighs. Shake your head gently from side to side to relieve tension in your neck. Hold for at least five breaths.
