Step 1
Practice yoga posture. Your head in a forward position is the most common cause of headaches. If you fix your posture, you can possibly prevent the headache in the first place. To have proper yoga posture, pretend your head is a bowling ball that you must balance on a small stick, which is your spine. Throughout the day, lift your chin, look ahead and pretend to balance the ball. Hold this as much as possible through your day. The more you practice, the more likely it will become a habit.

Step 2
Try the reclining pose, in which you sit on the floor, bending your knees so your feet are under your rear end. With pillows on the floor where your head will land, lean all the way back. Close your eyes and place the back of your hands over your eyes. If it's more comfortable, you can use a sleeping mask or a cloth to cover your eyes. This keeps you in the dark and makes it easier for you to visualize peace. Hold for three to five minutes.

Step 3
Attempt poses that make your spine and back more flexible. Your spine and neck, after all, are closely related and stress in these muscles can translate to an increase in headache pain. Try the cobra, in which you rest your body face-down on the floor and then slowly arch your back, forming as much of a curve with your back as you can. Hold this pose for 15 to 30 seconds.
