When your head is aching from sinus congestion and your nose is
plugged up, going to yoga class is probably not the best option. Rather
than completely neglecting your yoga practice, opt for a minisequence at
home to open up your chest and improve your circulation.
Bow Pose stretches your neck, chest, stomach, and back. Opening your neck and chest will lead to better breathing.
This pose is great for relaxation, as well, if you are feeling restless
and unable to sleep due to your cold symptoms. This pose creates a lot
of tension, which, when released, will make you feel ready to enter a
deep slumber.
