Yoga asanas for vertigo: As has been mentioned by us in many of our previous editorials, yoga is an important part of everyday fitness. One must find the time to do simple asanas daily that can take care of many health issues, among which is vertigo. According to pennmedicine.org, vertigo is a 'sensation of motion or spinning', often described as 'dizziness'. It is not the same as being lightheaded. In fact, people with vertigo feel that they are actually spinning or moving, or that the world is 'spinning around them'. It is quite common, affecting people of different age groups. Read on to find out how yoga can offer a solution.
According to celebrity yoga and holistic wellness expert Anshuka Parwani, practising certain yoga poses can help one by working on their nervous system, increasing blood circulation and the supply of oxygen to the head and other parts of the body. It can help to counter the vertigo effect by helping regain balance and focus.
The expert took to Instagram to demonstrate a few yoga asanas, explaining that whenever one feels that their world is spinning, they can try out these poses to stand steady on the feet again. Take a look.

Lie down on the floor and then gently lift your legs to support them against a wall. Do not bend your knees. Relax your body and place your arms on the side. Stay in this position for a while.
Place your weight on the knees and fold them on the mat. While keeping them bent, place your hands on the heels and stretch your upper body and neck backwards. It opens up the chest muscles and helps with the problem of dizziness.
This is an asana that may take a little bit of time to master. Lie down on the yoga mat and lift your legs without bending the knees. Try to bring them all the way back to the head and touch the floor, as demonstrated in the video. Lock your arms as shown by the yoga expert and hold this position.
Try to touch your feet by folding your body forward; try to not bend the knee.
Go down on your fours. Then fold the knees to stretch your thighs. Keep a little space between the legs. Bend your upper body forward by stretching your arms. Place your head on the mat. Hold this posture.
Practise these yoga asanas every day to see a difference. Would you like to try?
