Our desires have taken the form of needs, and commitment to work is essential to fulfilling these needs. In the same order, we stress ourselves excessively and transform the body into a factory. After this, the bodies wear and tear start. One of the most common diseases that affect all of us is neck pain. But the cause of neck pain is simple, so why not treat it? Although, make sure to seek guidance from a teacher who has at least 200-hour yoga teacher training in Rishikesh.
Yoga Asanas For Neck Pain
- Baby Posture (Baal Asana)
Kneel on the floor. Place your legs on the earth in such a way that your two feet are joined unitedly. Place your hands on the ground on both sides of the body. Now gently place your head on the ground. Also, don’t forget to keep your palms on the ground on either side of your torso.
Try to stay in the very position for as long as tolerable. After that, inhale gently, and raise your body eventually and become erect. Make sure to place your palms on your leg facing the sky as if you are surrendering to the Almighty. This posture grants relief from not only neck and spine pain but also the mind becomes relaxed. This asana makes you feel fresh by making the glutes, thighs, and calves flexible.
- Natraj Asana
Lie on the ground keeping your back straight. Keep the left leg straight. Ensure that the right leg is perpendicular to the ground and spread both your palms on the right and left sides of your body. Turn the face to the right. Make sure to inhale appropriately and exhale and try to hold this position for thirty seconds. Repeat this asana with the left leg. It not only makes your muscles flexible but also makes you feel complete and blissful. Feel the Shiva element within and around you.
- Viparita Karani Asana
This is simple. Just lie down on your back and raise your legs towards the ceiling, supporting your legs against the wall. Before moving to the second posture, count at least fifteen in this posture, take deep long breaths and release. This yoga posture effortlessly massages the back of your neck, relieves mild back pain, and removes the stiffness/cramps of the feet by eliminating fatigue.
Conclusion
Before performing any asana, please consult a doctor and tell him about your medical condition and neck pain. If the pain is more and there is difficulty in bending the neck, do not do these asanas and get medical treatment immediately.
While doing the asana, keep a water bottle and towel with you. But avoid eating anything in between. Also, do not practice this asana of yoga even if you have back pain or have heart-related problems. Even if the doctor advises you to do this asana, be careful while doing this asana.
