Thanks to desk jobs, sky-high shoes and fitness classes gone awry, it seems like there's always some body part that's aching or out of whack. While it's tempting to find relief inside your well-stocked medicine cabinet, sometimes all your body needs is a little finessing, by way of some quality time on the yoga mat.
Yoga has been known to increase flexibility, reduce stress and even cure headaches. Its gentle, fluid movement helps lubricate joints, reduce muscle tension and improve flexibility — without any wear or tear. And whereas a pain reliever can only mask pain, yoga might actually cure it (but be sure to check with your doctor first). That's why we had NYC-based yoga instructor Chrissy Carter walk us through the best healing yoga poses. Whether you have pounding tension headaches or Quasimodo shoulders, there's a yoga pose that can help. Click ahead to get your yogi-approved Rx for every problem area.
