Yoga Therapy

by | Jul 6, 2025

The Dubai sun is no joke—blazing temperatures, glaring light, and the stress of summer routines can leave you drained and irritable. And often, that tension settles in the most frustrating place of all: your head.

If you’re dealing with summer headaches, you’re not alone. And the solution might not lie in another painkiller, but in something gentler and deeper: Yoga Therapy.

Why Do Summer Headaches Happen?

Heat triggers headaches through multiple channels:

  • Dehydration: Even mild fluid loss affects brain function and blood flow.
  • Tension and stress: Long days, screen time, and disrupted sleep add up.
  • Digestive sluggishness: A hot gut can mean more inflammation and discomfort.
  • Sensory overload: Bright light and constant noise fatigue the nervous system.

For busy professionals and families in Dubai, these triggers stack up quickly.

Yoga Therapy: Your Holistic Headache Support

Unlike general yoga, Yoga Therapy at Pratimoksha focuses on restoring nervous system balance through individualized care.

Here’s how it helps relieve headaches:

  • Cooling Pranayama: Techniques like Sheetali and Chandra Bhedana cool internal heat and regulate breath.
  • Supportive Poses: Reclining twists, child’s pose, and forward folds help release pressure from neck and shoulders.
  • Guided Relaxation: Practices like Yoga Nidra reduce stress hormones and improve sleep.
  • Mindfulness & Meditation: Calm the mind, soothe tension, and promote emotional clarity.

And yes—all in an air-conditioned, quiet environment designed for healing.

What Makes It Different?

At Pratimoksha, yoga therapy sessions are:

  • One-on-one or small group
  • Customised to your stress triggers, health history, and lifestyle
  • Led by senior teacher and therapist Lalitha Viswanath

This isn’t about pushing through pain. It’s about tuning in, cooling down, and learning how to support your body naturally.

When to Try Yoga Therapy for Headaches

  • You’ve tried over-the-counter relief with little effect
  • You notice headaches increase with heat or stress
  • You want a sustainable, holistic approach to health
  • You’re dealing with burnout, poor sleep, or sensory overwhelm

Even one or two sessions can offer lasting tools for relief.

Real Talk: It’s Not Just in Your Head

In summer, headaches often come with:

  • Brain fog
  • Digestive upset
  • Eye strain
  • Anxiety or frustration

Yoga therapy doesn’t just treat the symptom—it looks at your whole system. It meets you where you are, especially during Dubai’s most overwhelming months.

Your Calm Is Closer Than You Think

You don’t need to suffer through another heatwave on autopilot. There is a calm center inside you—you just need the right support to access it.
