Yoga Cobbler Pose to Relieve Headache

Video Transcript

ELIZABETH ROSE: So, this next pose is the Reclining Cobbler's Pose. If you've been moving through all the poses in this series that are related to your headaches and neck pain and you're feeling better, then you can do this pose. If you're not feeling better, you should probably just lie down and do a regular Shavasana or repeat the poses in the series that felt best to you. So this is our Reclining Cobbler's Pose which is going to come to the wall, bring the sits bone and the tailbone as close to the wall as just comfortable for you. We're going to lie down on our backs, bringing the soles of the feet together, and gently support the legs. This is all you're going to do here. Make sure that the shoulder blades are on the floor, the crown of the head is extended and it's just going to rest here, inhaling and exhaling in and out through the nose. You can close the eyes. You can do anything you need to do to properly relax in this pose. And then when you're ready stay here, stay here a minute, stay here 3 minutes, stay here 6 minutes, 12 minutes, whatever is good for you, whenever you have time for, and when you're ready, you're just going to bring the knees into the chest. You can either come to your right side and sit up or you can stay for the next pose.
