Eye strain, lack of sleep, sinus problems, hunger, allergies, or stress, are common headache triggers that we are all aware of, but can you say the same about poor posture? It affects your blood circulation to the brain and respiratory system and causes muscle tension that can result in a headache. One way to prevent it is to improve posture and release tension by mastering these yoga poses.

Grabbing Opposite Elbows

Kneel, raise your arms, and bend them at the elbows. Grasp opposite elbows with hands. Breathe evenly and relax your eyes, face, and body. Hold for 10 seconds.

Gomukhasana Arms

Sit with crossed legs. Lift arm in the air beside ear and bend it in the elbow. Place the palm of your hand between your shoulder blades and bring another arm behind your back to climbing it up, so your hand would clap together. Relax and breathe, and hold for 10 seconds. Release and repeat on the opposite side.

Side Stretch

Take a seat, lift your right arm in the air, and on an exhalation, stretch to the right. Hold for 10 seconds. Return to center and repeat on the opposite side.
