Truth. I’m sitting here this morning with THE worst headache. And this video pops in my notifications. Talk about divine timing. Thank you!

[@leanderhovestadt5455]

haha same for me xD

[@Pixeliarmus]

did it help?

[@dawnjohnson8739]

@@Pixeliarmus Yes. I had posted that it went away below. It was a tension headache, so this was perfect to get rid of it.

[@graciemcc]

Life is full of headaches, but your practices are a lovely curative. Very timely for me on this day. Thank you.

[@niloopiloo]

This practice is a miracle, thank you so much . I am a big fan of your yoga sessions and the work you do on neck and shoulder is just what I need. Sending you good vibes.

[@mon4711]

I often have tension triggered headaches and migraines. I know I'm going to visit this video a lot in the future. Also I discovered your channel when I was going through my worst upper body pains. I watched your 15 min neck, shoulders, upper back routine so much that I've memorized it now. I love your videos, they feel so welcoming.

[@tinacynth]

Hey Paula, I started taking your routine seriously during Covid and it has helped me so much. Thank you for sharing this 😊

[@DK-sf5br]

Highly thankful for you, Paula. You are such a blessing to the viewers. This session works well for my headache, as well as the shoulder n neck video. We are indeed our own healer 💙

[@LuvsMartinis1]

Woke up with a headache, worked all morning with a headache, did this practice and got rid of the headache. Thank you dear Paula.

[@yoginimelbourne]

I'm so glad the practice helped xx

[@DK-sf5br]

[@rachaelsmith7646]

This short sequence has been a literal miracle for me! This is my go -to for instant pain and tension relief. I own a cleaning company and my upper body/neck/ head almost always hurts. I love the feeling of euphoria I get from this practice as well. You are a blessing Paula. Thanks so much.

[@wongcheuk1999]

im 33 and had migraine since i was 16. A long and painful journey with self blaming with my own body and pain, learning to self regulate and withdraw the help of pain killers for a few years. And your practices helps me to smooth my pain! : > Thankyouuuuuu from the bottom of my heart

[@yoginimelbourne]

What a long journey you have been on, thank you for sharing and I hope you continue to experience relief xx

[@Mrsmarina84]

Wonderful, wonderful relief for my head! I love how calm and gentle you are. Thank you for your amazing classes ;)

[@arundhathii296]

Oh my god its really helped me thanku so much

[@KarmaRose99]

Excellent sequence which shifted an energy blockage I must have been holding onto - I could feel the energy pulsating down my left side as I entered a incredibly calm meditative state during the shivasna. Thank you for sharing your expert practices.

[@sophieswaves]

Wow. Thank you so much. This was really releasing, I also felt a big release in my heart center.

[@Eatmyacid123]

Wow great practice. I haven’t meditated in class for a while now. I went right in with you. 🎉 I’m a hairdresser and this session not only helped my head and neck but my arms!!

[@Liamjhull]

I’ve had a blocked ear and sinus issues for the last 3 months. This is heavily due to working out frequently and not taking the recovery process seriously. Thank you for this video it’s the first one I’ve found which specifically targets these areas. Doing yoga consistently from now on!

Had a tension headache that would keep me awake, and wouldn't go away with water, food, rest, limited screen time, or medicine. Did this and genuinely feel much more revived and less tension and ache.

Better relief from a persistent tension headache than any pain killers were providing! Thanks Paula!

[@cindylong820]

thanks

[@carlijnvolders4423]

thanks!

[@lexieubanks5876]

I’m a classical flautist currently in a masters program. I’m constantly practicing, rehearsing, performing, etc. It’s a strain on my body, and I’ve been having the worst tension headaches for months along with tightness in the shoulders and hands. This practice was amazing, so much physical and emotional tension released. Thank you so much for this!!

[@carolina6683]

Hope you are feeling better but if not, have you tried Alexander Technique?

[@katherinemilsho3804]

Thank you from the bottom of heart. I've done everything, physical therapy, chiropractor, massage etc and this is the only thing that's given me instant relief. Thank you so much.

[@yoginimelbourne]

I’m so pleased to hear that ❤️

[@subhapriya8238]

You really are a blessing. These are the only yoga practices that provide real relief. I look forward to your videos. Thank you!

[@tinacynth]

Hey Paula, thank you so much for these routines. They have helped me calm down so much. My mind is no longer in chaos 😅

[@janclowser1581]

I have been following yoga with Paula since the beginning of lockdown. I love all of your practices but struggle with the broken wing pose. I find it really uncomfortable between my very large book and the arm that's outstretched. Am I doing something wrong? Many thanks

[@fudgecmq]

I tried this with a sinus infection and the pose at 10:30 gave me relief from my stuffed nose for the first time in 3 days. Thank you Paula!

[@dawnjohnson8739]

Do you do salt water nasal rinses? That will get rid of your sinus suffering.

[@miagrubisic]

Yes, I was just thinking how my nose also cleared 😀

[@hayley6955]

Thank you Paula. This and another video of yours have helped me through the pains in my head neck shoulders and torso this last week of a painful bout of flu/ detox so no meds needed as I'm finally feeling less pain doing the practice today and so much more wellbeing! Magical indeed thank you, a beautiful relaxing voice and great instructions so I could do most with my eyes closed. Loved the savasana time you stay with us too - a real comfort blanket and precious practice 🧡

[@taylor3342]

You read my mind Paula, thank you for a practice to help combat and relieve tension headache.

[@arleneAA]

Paula, I have chronic tension headache and I am truly grateful for you being one of the many blessings in my life ❤️

[@hannahhood5481]

Me too

[@Poeiti56]

Marvellous… yesterday i as up at 3 am with suce Dolor in my neck and shoulders … i Love your proposition thanks à lot

[@sashannahart5733]

I have chronic cervicogenic headaches due to a back injury several years ago. This practice gives immediate relief. If I wake up in the middle of the night with excruciating headaches and muscle tightness I make myself get out of bed and just sit on the floor by my bed and do this. It is hard to get up, but this definitely makes me feel so much better so I can actually go back to sleep. I also love the one for neck, shoulders and upper back. Any others of this type that you are interested in doing are immensely welcome! I have subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much!

[@elisam.5048]

Today is New Year’s Eve in Hawaii and my thoughts were racing and over analyzing the past and what’s to come causing the pressure to build up in my headspace. Thank you for guiding me through this release so I can welcome the new year at ease

[@Outdoorsimplicity]

Feel so much better after this, thankyou 🙏

[@tam_ryan1036]

Just what I needed. Thank you. 🙏🙂 x

[@diamoo8021]

This loosened my neck, shoulders, upper and middle back. Very relaxing. Thank you.

[@darbyrosengren]

This is the best anti-headache short practice I've done so far. Many thanks, Paula!

[@dawnjohnson8739]

Just did it. Worst headache ever gone. Thank you!!

[@sharoncullinane2210]

This practice was really good. I wake up with headaches so thank you for the release

[@anisdossanidossani4076]

Is it for headache, or to alleviate headache ?

[@juliebulie7587]

Thank you mam❤

[@yoginimelbourne]

Most welcome 😊

[@eedaj]

I had an intense migraine 2 days ago due to my neck and shoulder tension, and since then have just had a dull annoying headache I can't kick. This 20 minutes provided more relief than painkillers

[@LostLavenderer]

Helped my headache so much, took it from my head practically exploding to a very dull ache ❤ I'm sure that if I do this stretch again tonight it'll be as good as gone, thank you so much

[@CoreyStewart91]

this felt really good, thank you! Perfect pacing, posing, narration- I feel a lot better

[@badger9156]

Have saved this, my go-to if I’m home and feel a headache coming on, as a preventative. Also, great if I’m too late and need relief as I’m waiting for pain killers to kick in when a headache is in full force. Tonight, I did this class to wind down before starting a 28km hike with a full pack tomorrow. My neck and shoulders will thank me for 😊

[@ALaMode_Designer]

I woke up with a tension headache and this routine is already giving me relief! You showed me some new favorite poses! Thank you.

[@anisdossanidossani4076]

This the best exercise for the release of Tension Headache. It may be longer, than the other ones,, but, worth the time.

[@YogaWithYawn]

A short beautiful connection to relief headaches. Thank you for sharing your practice.

[@Nurthecat]

I keep coming back to this practice with my chronic headaches and migraines…grateful for it every time. Thank you!

[@juliaquigley7150]

I had a massive headache on the back of my skull for two days. I did this video and like 10 minutes in I broke out in a heat rash, all of skin and face and arms were on fire! My skin dried out and I was instantly dehydrated. I'm not sure what that was all about, but after this video and a few glasses of water my headache is 95% gone. Thank you!

[@נעמייעבץ]

I just finished my weeks schedule and a stress pain erupted. This session did the job. Thankyou ❤

[@polyanna4927]

Thank you so much! I have never done a workout that has helped with my neck tension as much as this :) Subscribed!
