Cervical spondylosis, a common age-related wear and tear of the neck vertebrae, leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Practicing gentle yoga regularly can provide significant relief by improving posture, strengthening neck and shoulder muscles, and increasing flexibility.
Best Yoga Poses for Cervical Spondylosis:
- Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana)—Gently mobilizes the spine and releases neck tension.
- Child’s Pose (Balasana) — Relaxes the neck and shoulders while stretching the upper back.
- Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana)—The modified version strengthens back muscles and improves posture (avoid if severe pain).
- Neck Rolls & Shoulder Rolls — Simple warm-up movements to reduce stiffness.
- Seated Neck Stretches—Gentle side tilts and forward bends to improve range of motion.
Tips: Always practice on an empty stomach, move slowly, and stop if you feel sharp pain. Start with 5-10 minutes daily under guidance. Combine with good posture and ergonomic habits for better results. Consult a doctor or physiotherapist before starting, especially if symptoms are severe. Consistent practice can reduce dependency on painkillers and improve quality of life.
