Six poses of yoga from a headache:

1. We affect a neck
Tension in a neck often is the reason of a headache. It will be confirmed by those who spend much time sitting at the computer, or in general is busy with sedentary work (seamstresses, embroideresses, etc.). If you find time in breaks to do this simple exercise, then will be able to say goodbye to annoying pain.

- Sit down on a floor, having crossed legs before themselves. It is possible to sit down exactly on a chair, at the same time to put legs exactly at shoulder length.
- Extend the right hand to the right knee, or lower along the right side of a chair (if you carry out exercise, sitting on a chair).
- Put the left hand on the head from above.
- If the right hand to hold a knee or a chair, but not just to lower, then it will help to avoid neck stretching because of not habit.
- The left hand try to incline the head to the left while you feel a pleasant extension of muscles of a neck. About 30 seconds. It is possible to resist the head, then exercise will be even more effective. Slowly come back to a starting position.



Then repeat the same in specular reflection.


2. Pose of a dog
This pose helps to move load of wrists of hands, exempting from forearm tension. Also the upper back stretches. The correct breath is important here, and the head has to hang down freely between shoulders. In different practicians of yoga this pose is called by "dolphin" or "puppy".

- Kneel, leaning hands in a floor. Wrists at shoulder length, and knees on width of hips. Inhale
- Lower elbows on a floor. Raise hips and exhale.
- Try to pull heels to the earth that foot completely stood on a floor. Feet in parallel each other.
- Hang the head between shoulders, having completely relaxed a neck. Direct a view to feet. Be late in such situation on 5 breaths.




3. We relax shoulders
This pose is ideal if the headache is caused by tension in shoulders. It is one of the most effective exercises, remember it surely.

- At first we do a so-called "pose of the child". Sit down on a rug on the legs bent in knees. Thumbs of legs in parallel each other, knees are a little divorced. Make a small breath and on an exhalation bend down forward. You will feel how the bottom of a back stretches and pull a backbone. Remain in such situation several breaths.



- Connect hands at legs, pull hands a little, feel small stretching, and only then lift the brushes closed in the lock up. Lift as highly as you can.



- Inhale and transfer the weight forward, for this purpose raise a little hip. Lower close hands as low as possible to a floor.
- Remain so 10 seconds, then lower hips on heels and again be late for 10 seconds.



Make everything at least five times, since the child's pose.


4. "The opened heart"
All previous poses stretched a back part of a neck. Thanks to this pose it is possible "to open" front muscles of a neck and to straighten a thorax. It also reduces tension in a back and buttocks. The pose fills with energy and harmony.

- Begin with "the hero's pose". You watch that feet were connected and lay in parallel each other. Equal back.



- Deviate back on hands, brushes have to be at distance of 15-25 cm from feet.
- Lean on hands and raise a breast as highly as it is possible. Curve a back, and hips lean in heels.
- For increase in an extension throw back the head back.



Stay in this pose of 30 seconds. Come back so: at first raise the head, then lower a breast and later return in "the hero's pose".


5. "Happy child"
Entirely this a little ridiculous pose will help to stretch and relax a backbone. Special influence receives a back bottom.

- Lay down on a back
- Bend knees and you hold hands a foot bottom
- Slowly part knees and lower them to the level of armpits.



- Remain so during five deep breaths.
- You can poraskachivatsya a little here and there if it turns out.


6. "Wall"
It is one of favourite recovery exercises of many yogis, it can be done as much as necessary long and to them usually finish a training. But to be necessary for exercise the wall and also a pillow or a blanket.

- Put a pillow (or the curtailed blanket) closer to a wall.
- Lay down on a back, legs with the bent knees put on a wall. Move closer to a wall so that buttocks laid down on a pillow, and put legs to a wall vertically up.
- Now part legs as it is possible more widely, lean feet against a wall.



You keep in such situation so much how many it will want to you. As soon as you feel fatigue or too strong extension, connect legs above, moving ahead feet on a wall. Then take several steps on a wall down that knees were bent. Remain in this pose minute and only after that either continue, or finish exercise.
