This book has positions for headache relief that can be done without doing headstands! They were even approved by my yoga instructor who assured me that although I can’t get into some of the exact postures yet (due to my weight and fibromylgia) I will get there with practice. They will improve strength in the shoulder girdle and neck muscles that can have a great deal to do with headaches.
It reviews types of headache’s, how to tell them apart, how yoga can provide relief, easy to understand instructions and pictures. There are 2, one short & one longer, safe and effective routines. There are variation suggested for pregnant women, overweight people, even cautions for people with injuries or conditions that a particular position might aggrevate. There are also suggestions for alternative things you can try for migraines and tension headaches and a list of book, video,& music resources in the appendix.
I found this book helpful and well worth the money.

Outstanding! I couldn’t stop reading it from cover to cover, just for the pleasure of discovering what information and solutions would come next. I tried the short yoga routine when I had a major tension headache building and had complete and immediate relief, plus my headache didn’t reappear hours later as it can when taking pills. The photos took me step by step with excellent guidelines. Now I keep the book handy, and have put away my bottle of Advil. I’m thrilled I don’t have to be dependant on pills!
This book is very well written, and has lots of photos so it’s easy to follow and understand. Here is a great blend of traditional medicine and easy yoga postures and techniques to prevent and relieve headaches. The medical information is thorough, yet nicely written for the layperson. The medical treatments transition beautifully to prevention and remedies through yoga. The postures are fabulous, too, just for relieving neck and shoulder tension and feeling more calm. I’m sold! A longer, daily routine is also offered for people who suffer from migraines and frequent headaches.
Now I don’t have to mask symptoms by taking pills, and can go right to the source of the problem — in 5-10 minutes. A treasure of a book!
