    Immediately after getting up from the bow pose I get what feels like an “ice cream” headache on the top of my head. Could this be from getting up too fast?

    Hi there stixaz

    Welcome to the forum.

    Certain poses can elicit particular responses. For me, if I am feeling particularly stressed, or if I have had a break from yoga for a little while, I get a headache at the end of or coming out of Camel. It could be something like that for you. And yes, it could be that you are coming out too quickly. When you come out of this pose please ensure you let your head ‘hang’ behind you to avoid tensing and stressing the ‘wrong’ muscles (that could cause some damage).

    If you are a newbie to this series then perhaps your body is still in its beginning clear-out stages. :cheese: In all likelihood, your headache reaction should disappear quite quickly.

    Namaste
    Gabrielle 🙂
