Normally yoga postures and pranayama can help alleviate pain and release tension and stress during a headache. Practice in a calming environment with low lights and soft music.

Finish your yoga practice with shavasana using an eye pillow or folded small towel over the eyes. Start your shavasana with Dirga pranayama – slow deep breathing in the belly

and chest..

Talk to your doctor if you are having more than 2-3 headaches per week, or if a bad headache lasts for several days. Migraines and cluster headaches can be helped with yoga, but

you must have the supervision and approval of your doctor.

A Yoga lifestyle also includes a proper diet that, once adopted, can nourish the body with what it really needs. On the whole, not only are those tension-type headaches reduced,

even eliminated through Yoga, but you will also feel revitalized and refreshed all over - and all these without the nasty side effects drugs may produce.
