Yoga is considered as one of the best classical exercises for physical and mental satisfaction and relaxation along with a flexible and healthy life. Nowadays, neck pain has become a common condition for everyone. It can happen due to several causes or factors. These factors may include daily activities that involve a forward movement pattern, poor posture, and habit of holding your head in one position. Since the neck pain doesn’t take much time to develop itself in the body, hence it must be treated as soon as possible, in order to avoid serious threats. Because, if the pain reaches the shoulder or your back, it becomes unbearable. It can even result in heavy headache or even injury. Yoga may be useful in treating even chronic neck pain. Here are a few poses for relief from it.

Standing Forward Bend Pose
Get into a proper standing position with your feet under your hips. Try to bring your hands to your feet or the floor. During this, don’t forget to keep your legs straight.
