5.Half Plow (Supported Ardha Halasana)

This pose can be really helpful if you are trying to ease the pain from the front of your head. It calms down the nervous system and relieves the stress from the brain keeping you in a more relaxed position.

Follow the steps:

• This posture will need a few blankets and a chair. The blankets must be folded so that the rounded edges are close to the chair legs. Recline downwards so that your head is beneath the chair and shoulders on the blankets.
• Incline your knees towards your chest and then elevate your thighs up over your head so that they will be placed fully on the chair.
• Incline your arms by your sides at right angles to your torso so that the fingers are pointing upwards in the exact direction your toes are pointing (away from the torso).
• Relax your body in this pose.
• Conclude the posture by bringing your arms back to your sides and then slowly lowering your legs in a coordinated manner.
(Note: Taller people may require extra blankets to support the entire spine)
