From Ann Pizer, your Guide to Yoga
When your head hurts, it affects your whole body's ability to function well, not to mention disrupting the energy of your crown chakra. Let's take a look at some ways to make your head more comfortable.

Do You Get Head Rushes?
It's not unusual to get a head rush in yoga class, particularly in fast-paced vinyasa situations. Find out how you can prevent and treat a head rush.

Pose of the Week - Revolved Half Moon at the Wall
As I have mentioned here before (see Hello Parivrtta Ardha Chandrasana, My Old Friend), I don't always see eye to eye with revolved half moon pose. I get about half way into it and then think, hey, my body doesn't go this way. Last week, I was introduced to the option of doing this pose at the wall, and really learned a lot from it. Mostly, the wall gives you a clear indication of what your back leg is doing and acts a guide for how much to rotate your shoulders. Stand sideways at the wall and raise the leg that is closest to the wall. When you twist, your back will be on the wall. Give it a try!
