@@TheChickP83 This is a great question. I recommend speaking to a healthcare provider before beginning an exercise program or a class (including this one). There are yoga poses that are not recommended for certain trimesters. There's information online that can answer those questions. With that said, you and your body are unique. So I would personally speak with someone that knows your health history. I hope this helps!
Just wanted to thank you. I’m a 54yr old man and have been healthy most of my life up until the last few months. I have now been diagnosed with Afib and am now suffering from what they think might be maniere’s disease. The Vertigo has been absolutely debilitating. It certainly is depressing. But thank you for the videos and my love and compassion go out to you and your battle with this awful problem. Have a blessed day!
Hi William! First off, my heart goes out to you. Vertigo can change one's life so quickly. I've found that breathwork practices, exploring different grounding techniques for anchoring (such as holding an object in your hand and focusing on how it feels, the shape, texture, etc.), repeating affirmations to remind myself that I am safe (even though it may not feel that way at the time), as well as exploring self-compassion. I wish you all the best! Thank you for being here and for taking the time to leave this lovely message. I appreciate you! Take care 🤗
Dealing with vertigo since January. Your video is helpful. You said you had it for a hear and a half. Do you still have it? I have been a yoga teacher for 53 years. This is so challenging. Thank you for your video.
Hi 🤗 First off, I am so sorry to hear that you've been experiencing vertigo since January. It is so challenging! My heart goes out to you. Fortunately, the vertigo I was experiencing subsided. I do experience dizziness every now and again, but it is not too bad. For me, the vertigo episodes were caused by migraines and tight neck/trap muscles. In addition to this, my neurologist said that the vertigo was the result of my sympathetic nervous system being heightened due to the car accident I was in. Breathwork practices, mantras (like "I am safe"), self-hugs, guided meditation practices, and listening to my body helped me as I worked through the symptoms. I hope that you get some relief soon 💕 Feel free to keep me posted. Wishing you all the best 🙏
I've been living with constant dizziness since April 2021. It has derailed my life and not a day goes by that I don't feel alone in this struggle. Thank you for your statement in the video. It made me feel less alone, even if only for a moment.
Hi 😊 First off, I am so sorry to hear that you've been experiencing constant dizziness for so long. My heart goes out to you. I can understand how these symptoms affect every aspect of your life. I'm glad that you resonated with this statement. I felt so alone throughout my journey. I had a strong feeling that other people experiencing dizziness and/or vertigo probably have felt alone at some point throughout their journey. I am so happy to hear that you felt less alone, even if it was only for a moment 💙 I hope that you find relief from your symptoms. Sending so much love and healing to you. Take care 🙏
Hi Uma 😊 Thank you so much for joining me on the mat. I am so sorry to learn about how long you have been coping with vertigo for. I do hope that the postures, stretches and breathwork from this class served you well. Take good care 💜
Hi, don't know if you're gonna see this but thank you. I suffer vertigo since 2010 but i really love yoga and your video helps. In the other yoga with vertigo videos you feel that the person didn't experience long vertigo. Thank you again ! Hope you are doing well !
Hello and welcome 🤗 Thank you so much for your kind words! My heart goes out to you. That's a long time to be experiencing vertigo. I understand how this can impact all areas of your life. Good on you for carving out time for self-care! Yoga can be such an important practice when it comes to helping the nervous system experience feelings of safety. In time, this may reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo episodes. I understand and appreciate where you are coming from. I send so much love and light to you 💕 Take care and I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🙏
I haven't personally experienced vertigo but definitely dizziness. This was a nice calming and gentle practice that was perfect for balance disorders. I know a few people that do have vertigo so I will be sharing this with them! Thanks Rachel!! 🙏😊
Hi Rachel! Thank you for this amazing feedback! I am happy to learn that you found this practice calming and gentle. Feel free to share this practice with anyone you know who experiences vertigo and dizziness. I know how scary and isolating it can feel. I truly hope that with this practice individuals can find some level of relief from their symptoms. Wishing you a wonderful day!! Take care 🙏💙
Greetings and thank you for sharing another wonderful video, I have experienced Vertigo and Dizziness and wish I had done this, it feels so calming and such a gentle practice for balance. Thank you Rachel and a big thumbs up 👍🏼 from me, and looking forward to coming back to your wonderful channel, to see more great content. Have a wonderful day and stay safe.
Hello! I am so sorry to hear that you have experienced dizziness and vertigo in the past. I hope that the symptoms stay away! I am so happy to hear that you found this practice calming. Thank you so much for your kind words and ongoing support! I hope that you have an amazing day!!! 🙏😊✨
Thank you so much for this video, Rachel! I have been suffering from vertigo and dizziness for 2 months now and do your video every day in the evening. It really helps me a lot! It makes me feel so much better to know that I am not alone!
Hi Leanne! First off, I am so sorry that you are experiencing vertigo and dizziness. I am happy to learn that this class is serving you well. You are most definitely not alone! I do hope that you get relief from your symptoms soon!! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. I am not a doctor and I do understand that everyone's journey is different. With that said, I can share some of the things that I tried to get some relief from my symptoms. Take good care and enjoy the rest of your day 💜
Hi Uma, I am just seeing your other comment here. I appreciate your feedback regarding this class. Yes, migraines can interfere with our comfort and ease in various postures. If you ever come to a posture that you feel is worsening a migraine or just doesn't feel good, you can always make your way to a cross-legged seat and focus on your breath. Breathing in and out. The breath can be such a useful tool when experiencing migraines and headaches. Sending so much love your way 💜🙏
@@umasingh3465 Hi Uma. This is a really great question. What I suggest is based off of my own experiences and something that I found useful in my journey. I personally find guided meditation practices useful especially with insomnia. Whenever I had a bad vertigo episode, I found it very challenging to ground myself which then impacted my quality of sleep. I started to try some guided meditation practices (about 5 minutes in length) before bedtime, and that seemed to help quite a bit. It can also help to listen to some soothing music before bed, as well as taking a break from screens. What worked for me, may or may not be useful for you. With that said, it could be worth trying. If you decide to meditate, you can choose to keep your eyes open if that feels better, and you can sit on a piece of furniture if you feel more grounded in a chair versus being on a yoga mat. My heart goes out to you, and I do hope that you start feeling better soon!
@@YogawithRachel thx 🌹for understanding,ur right in suggesting meditation before sleeping,cld help well,sitting with the back to the wall,for support,and the migraine management r both imp.Grateful for ur good wishes and moral support means a lot at my ageBless you lots
Hi Uma 😊 I hope that you are staying well! I am so happy to see that you keep returning to this practice. I hope that it continues to serve you well in your journey. Wishing you an amazing rest of your day 💕
Hello 🤗 I am so happy that you found this video too! I appreciate your kind words 💕 I am also happy to learn that you found it relaxing and calming. It's a good practice for calming the nervous system. Feel free to return to this practice whenever you believe it will best serve you. Wishing you an amazing rest of your day and take care 🙏💕
Thank you so much for this video. I was diagnosed 3 years ago with BPPV The dizziness and vertigo can come on without any warning. My son doesn't understand, he thinks I can prevent it (oh how I wish!!) It's not like you can take pill and it will be all better. Your video is excellent!! And I have watched it several times!! Thank you for your support!!
Hi Diane! I hope that your day is going well 🤗 Thank you for sharing a part of your story with me. I can understand where you are coming from. From my own experience, it is hard for others to truly understand when they haven't experienced the sensation for themself. My heart goes out to you 💗 One of the best things that has helped me in my journey is self-compassion. Meeting myself exactly where I am at each moment. Showering myself with love through self-care practices. Tending to my nervous system through yoga, meditation practices, somatic work and breathwork. These practices helped cultivate feelings of safety within my mind and body. I see that you are already doing that by joining this yoga class! Awesome!!! Sending a virtual hug to you 🤗 Thank you for being here and for sharing your experiences with me. Take good care 🙏💞
Rachel! I did this practice after a workout and it was so nice to bring my heart rate down and feel more connectes to myself. Loved the grounding exercise with the fingers. I think a lot of people out there experience dizziness/vertigo so practices like this are very much needed. Thank you!! I loved Angel's cameo-w! -Angela
Hi Angela! It is so nice hearing from you! Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! I am also happy to hear that you found the finger exercise useful! I truly hope that this practice supports others when they are experiencing these symptoms. It can be so scary. I just want others to know that they are not alone and that we can find safe ways to move. Hahaha 😂 "Angel's cameo-w" - that's clever! I like that!!! Thank you for taking the time to practice with me and the rest of the community! Wishing you a wonderful day! Take care 🙏💙😊

Good morning Rachel! I know someone who has vertigo and dizziness that could benefit from this practice! It seems difficult to ground yourself when one goes through rounds of dizziness. It is really nice that you’ve made something to help people find their bearings to help deal with this. Loving November’s video thus far! Keep up the excellent work!!! 😁🙏🔥
Good morning Sean! Feel free to share this practice with this individual. I hope that it serves them well. Yes, it is so challenging to remain grounded when you experience dizziness and/or vertigo. It can be terrifying! I really hope that this practice can help others during these challenging moments. I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying our November practices! Thank you so much for taking the time to practice with me today and the rest of the community! I hope that the rest of your weekend goes well! Take care 🙏✨😊
Hi! I truly hope that you find these movements and postures useful during those moments when you experience dizziness and/or vertigo. Know that I am here to support you through it 💙 Wishing you a wonderful day 🙏😊

Thank you I had a very tough episode of vertigo two days ago and was too scared to come back on my May when I discovered this video. Thank you for bringing me back!
Hi Jehan 😊 I am so sorry to learn of the vertigo episode that you recently experienced. I can relate to feeling scared and even apprehensive to try some movement. I am so happy that you gave it a go! I hope that you are feeling better now. As I said in this class, please know that you are not alone. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Wishing you an amazing day ahead and take good care 🙏🤗

Hi Rachel! This was a fantastic practice for me especially today. I could fall asleep during the extended child's pose! The stretch in my shoulders and back is such a relief ! I also love the bridge pose as it releases a lot of tension in my upper back. The entire practice left me feeling grounded and with so much positive energy! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Nancy! I am so happy to hear that this practice served you well. Haha 😂 yes, Extended Child's Pose is just so relaxing!! I am also happy to hear that Bridge Pose reduced some of the tension in your upper back body! I love that this practice left you feeling grounded. Thank you so much for this feedback! I love hearing from the community in regards to what they really enjoy and what they would like to see more of! It is really helpful 😊 Thank you for taking the time to practice with me! Wishing you a wonderful day 🙏💙

Hi Kirsten! I appreciate your kind words! Feel free to share this practice with your friends. I hope that this practice serves them well 💙 Thank you so much for taking the time to practice with me! Wishing you a wonderful day! Take care 🙏✨😊
Hey Joy!! Yes, I figured that it would be useful to create a flow demonstrating some of the movements and poses that I found most supportive during those moments when I had my symptoms. I still do these whenever my symptoms flare up. I find that they can help me stay grounded. Thank you so much for taking the time to practice with me! I hope that you enjoy the rest of your day 🙏😊💜
Hi Christine! I am happy to learn that you felt relaxed during and following this yoga flow! Hahaha 😆 yessss, the pillow makes it extra COZY!! Thank you so much for taking the time to practice with me! Take care, and have an amazing day 🙏💙
This is a great video as so many of us do have vertigo, dizziness is very scary so great to know your techniques to help dealing with it. I for one dont like pills so this is great that there are better options. Hope your vertigo gets better for you, someone as amazing as you doesnt need to have these issues but glad your keeping positive but finding ways to help yourself and us. Thank you for sharing, take care
Hi Vicki! Yes, I do hope that the movements, stretches and mantras in this practice can support those experiencing vertigo and/or dizziness. I agree, it is nice to explore other options outside of medication. Thank you so much for your kind words. I am still on the road to recovery. I have good and not so good days. But I am managing the symptoms in a more productive way. I appreciate your comment and for taking the time to practice with me and the rest of the community! Wishing you a wonderful day 🙏💞😊
Hi Angel! I hope that you are doing well! Vertigo is no fun!! I hope that you do not experience that ever again. If you do, feel free to use this practice to support you.

Hi Rachel 😊 I was diagnosed with right sided BPPV and have been down for coming up on three weeks. I've tried some maneuvers, Epley included. The Epley made me feel so much worse for days and have made me afraid to trigger this again. Laying flat on my back and turning my head to the right really triggers it. Should I avoid doing that if I try this exercise or not be so afraid of triggering some dizziness?
Hi 😊 Firstly, I am so sorry to hear that you are experiencing vertigo. I am happy to learn that they have determined what is causing the vertigo episodes so that way treatment can begin! That's great news! I recall my family doctor and chiropractor stating that when doing the Epley maneuvers yourself, it is very likely that you will trigger vertigo. Breathing through it can help. I've been told that Epley is very effective for those with BPPV. Have you had a practitioner do this maneuver for you? In relation to this practice, if at any point you feel dizzy or off balance, back out of the posture and come to a comfortable seat of your choosing. Focus on your breathing. The intention behind this practice is to help lovely individuals like yourself feel loved, safe and supported. This practice is very gentle for those experiencing dizziness and vertigo. With that said, the reasons why we experience these symptoms vary. So, a posture or movement may work well for one person, but for another, it could trigger some symptoms. So as you move through this practice, listen to your mind and body. Return to your breath and know that you are not alone. I hope that this helps. Sending you a virtual hug and I hope that you feel better soon 💚
@@YogawithRachel Thank you so much for your response! I can tell that you are truly a unique and highly empathic person. A doctor did the Epley on me, but she didn't have any experience with it and I don't hink she did it correctly. I will go to an experienced chiropractor next time. Completed a full days work today and I am pretty relieved. Going slow and steady. Will do your exercise tonight and cross my fingers for tomorrow. Again, thank you SO much!! 🥰🙏
@@frydiskilmer358 You are so welcome! Another useful resource that you can look into is seeing an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat specialist) if you haven't already. Oftentimes, they can refer you to a specialist that can perform the Epley maneuver and can run other tests related to the inner ear. Just a thought! Good on you for completing a full day of work! Take it easy! Also, feel free to let me know how the class goes for you! 💚 Take care 🤗
Hello dear, how are you? A month and a half ago I had my first vertigo attack. It was scary and really unpleasant. I went to a physical therapist and he put the crystals back in place. For me it's the left channel. Since then I've been really afraid to practice yoga lest it catch me in some challenging position, maybe I'll fall and break an arm or a leg or fall on my head. And at night I'm afraid the attack will come because I'm pregnant. I see that you practice yoga. I would love for you to share your experience with me. And have you found a drug that completely prevents seizures. Thank you .
Hi there! First off, thank you for sharing some of your story with me. I am happy to hear that you sought support from a physical therapist! I can understand why you would experience feelings of fear in relation to movement, such as yoga. Speaking from personal experience, the best thing that I could do was send messages of safety to my nervous system. I accomplished this through meditation practices, breathwork practices, affirmations ("I am safe in my mind and body," "my body is healing from the inside out," etc.), and self-hugs to create a sense of connection and safety in my mind and body. Once I started to feel more grounded, connected and secured, I explored gentle stretches and yoga poses that felt good in my body. I explored graded exposure. In time, I resumed all movement without fear of symptoms coming on. I didn't have to take any meditation for what I was experiencing. The bouts of dizziness and vertigo were caused from an over-stimulated nervous system following a car accident. The reason why we experience dizziness and vertigo varies from person to person and case to case. What worked for me, may not work for someone else as their nervous system is completely unique to them. I highly recommend speaking to a healthcare practitioner to see what graded exposure to movement could look like for you. They will likely be able to provide more guidance as to what types of movements you can explore. I wish you all the best in your journey 💗 Take good care 🙏🤗
Hi Rafina. I personally haven't experienced vertigo making my head shake. If it's possible, I recommend speaking with a healthcare practitioner. Document your symptoms in relation to what you are feeling, how often it happens and when it happens. This information can be useful. Thank you for being here, and take good care 💕
I have been fighting bought of vertigo off and on for the past year. When I have a vertigo spell I'm normally down for a couple weeks. It really hits me hard. I tried your video for the first time today and I would really like to do more. I have three children , 2 that are type 1 diabetics. So they need me for a lot. I push myself to get things done. I make myself do it through a spell. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Heather 😊 Thank you for being here and for sharing some of your story with me. First off, I am so sorry to hear that you have been experiencing bouts of vertigo for the past year. On top of that, caring for your children. My heart goes out to you. I am not a medical professional, but I can share some of the things I tried to help manage my symptoms. If it is available to you, I recommend speaking to a healthcare professional, such as a family doctor, as they can provide referrals to for you to see a specialist(s) and/or run tests to hopefully help you understand what is causing the vertigo. It could be related to the inner ear, so a scan of the ear canal would be helpful (just to make sure everything is functioning as it should). Vertigo can also stem from the neck. Again, if it is available, it may be a good idea to see a physiotherapist that specializes in vestibular rehabilitation. When I experienced vertigo, I would drink a ginger and honey tea. When I was having a good day, I would boil some water in a big pot with a few cut up pieces of ginger and allow that to boil for at least 20 minutes. I would then stir in some honey and put the tea in a container (you can leave the ginger chunks in there). I would then drink this tea (hot or cold) whenever I was feeling dizzy. I found that the ginger helped with the nausea and the dizziness lessened. I mention it in this video, repeating mantras, such as "I am safe," was useful. It served as a reminder that I am okay and that I would get through this spell. Listening to your body is another strategy. I know that this is easier said than done! If you have a moment or two throughout your day, I invite you to sit down and just take a few breath cycles. You can keep your eyes open and look down and past your nose. Focus on the breath. It may even help to repeat in your head, "breathe in...breathe out..." The breath is a great tool for grounding. Finally, you can keep a journal of your day. This journal can help you pinpoint whether something in particular triggers the vertigo. This could be an activity, something you ate, a time of day, sleep, etc. A journal can be very useful if you decide to speak to a healthcare professional regarding the bouts of vertigo. Thank you for reaching out to me. I hope that these suggestions are useful. I am so sorry that you are experiencing this. Please know that you are not alone in this! Sending love and light your way 💜🙏
Each day and moment will be different 💜 Feel free to skip child's pose and explore a comfortable seat of your choosing. You can focus on the breath. Or if it feels good, you can lay on your back (resting your head on a pillow) and then hug the knees in towards your chest. Place your hands on your knees. This is like child's pose, but on the back body. You may find that this option feels better. I am proud of you for showing up 😊 Take good care!
With vertigo, there is no way in the world these movements are possible. The head can not move like this...AT ALL! I personally would either pass out, or vomit profusely with my head spinning for days.

V encouraged by gentle explanation,migraine holds me back from doing all of them, though,yes child pose more difficult than others,but great👍 video
Hi Uma, I am just seeing your other comment here. I appreciate your feedback regarding this class. Yes, migraines can interfere with our comfort and ease in various postures. If you ever come to a posture that you feel is worsening a migraine or just doesn't feel good, you can always make your way to a cross-legged seat and focus on your breath. Breathing in and out. The breath can be such a useful tool when experiencing migraines and headaches. Sending so much love your way 💜🙏
Wld u able to suggest any exercise for vertigo with severe insomnia??both issues giving me a tough time,lots of blessings
@@umasingh3465 Hi Uma. This is a really great question. What I suggest is based off of my own experiences and something that I found useful in my journey. I personally find guided meditation practices useful especially with insomnia. Whenever I had a bad vertigo episode, I found it very challenging to ground myself which then impacted my quality of sleep. I started to try some guided meditation practices (about 5 minutes in length) before bedtime, and that seemed to help quite a bit. It can also help to listen to some soothing music before bed, as well as taking a break from screens. What worked for me, may or may not be useful for you. With that said, it could be worth trying. If you decide to meditate, you can choose to keep your eyes open if that feels better, and you can sit on a piece of furniture if you feel more grounded in a chair versus being on a yoga mat. My heart goes out to you, and I do hope that you start feeling better soon!
@@YogawithRachel thx 🌹for understanding,ur right in suggesting meditation before sleeping,cld help well,sitting with the back to the wall,for support,and the migraine management r both imp.Grateful for ur good wishes and moral support means a lot at my ageBless you lots

It's a good practice for calming the nervous system. Feel free to return to this practice whenever you believe it will best serve you. Wishing you an amazing rest of your day and take care 🙏💕
Thank you so much for this video. I was diagnosed 3 years ago with BPPV The dizziness and vertigo can come on without any warning. My son doesn't understand, he thinks I can prevent it (oh how I wish!!) It's not like you can take pill and it will be all better. Your video is excellent!! And I have watched it several times!! Thank you for your support!!
Hi Diane! I hope that your day is going well 🤗 Thank you for sharing a part of your story with me. I can understand where you are coming from. From my own experience, it is hard for others to truly understand when they haven't experienced the sensation for themself. My heart goes out to you 💗 One of the best things that has helped me in my journey is self-compassion. Meeting myself exactly where I am at each moment. Showering myself with love through self-care practices. Tending to my nervous system through yoga, meditation practices, somatic work and breathwork. These practices helped cultivate feelings of safety within my mind and body. I see that you are already doing that by joining this yoga class! Awesome!!! Sending a virtual hug to you 🤗 Thank you for being here and for sharing your experiences with me. Take good care 🙏💞
Rachel!
I did this practice after a workout and it was so nice to bring my heart rate down and feel more connectes to myself.
Loved the grounding exercise with the fingers.
I think a lot of people out there experience dizziness/vertigo so practices like this are very much needed.
Thank you!!
I loved Angel's cameo-w!

Good morning Rachel! I know someone who has vertigo and dizziness that could benefit from this practice! It seems difficult to ground yourself when one goes through rounds of dizziness. It is really nice that you’ve made something to help people find their bearings to help deal with this. Loving November’s video thus far! Keep up the excellent work!!! 😁🙏🔥
Good morning Sean! Feel free to share this practice with this individual. I hope that it serves them well. Yes, it is so challenging to remain grounded when you experience dizziness and/or vertigo.

Hi Rachel! This was a fantastic practice for me especially today. I could fall asleep during the extended child's pose! The stretch in my shoulders and back is such a relief ! I also love the bridge pose as it releases a lot of tension in my upper back. The entire practice left me feeling grounded and with so much positive energy! Thank you for sharing!

Hey Joy!! Yes, I figured that it would be useful to create a flow demonstrating some of the movements and poses that I found most supportive during those moments when I had my symptoms.

Hi Vicki! Yes, I do hope that the movements, stretches and mantras in this practice can support those experiencing vertigo and/or dizziness.

Hi Rachel 😊 I was diagnosed with right sided BPPV and have been down for coming up on three weeks. I've tried some maneuvers, Epley included. The Epley made me feel so much worse for days and have made me afraid to trigger this again. Laying flat on my back and turning my head to the right really triggers it. Should I avoid doing that if I try this exercise or not be so afraid of triggering some dizziness?
Hi 😊 Firstly, I am so sorry to hear that you are experiencing vertigo. I am happy to learn that they have determined what is causing the vertigo episodes so that way treatment can begin! That's great news! I recall my family doctor and chiropractor stating that when doing the Epley maneuvers yourself, it is very likely that you will trigger vertigo. Breathing through it can help. I've been told that Epley is very effective for those with BPPV. Have you had a practitioner do this maneuver for you? In relation to this practice, if at any point you feel dizzy or off balance, back out of the posture and come to a comfortable seat of your choosing. Focus on your breathing. The intention behind this practice is to help lovely individuals like yourself feel loved, safe and supported. This practice is very gentle for those experiencing dizziness and vertigo. With that said, the reasons why we experience these symptoms vary. So, a posture or movement may work well for one person, but for another, it could trigger some symptoms. So as you move through this practice, listen to your mind and body. Return to your breath and know that you are not alone. I hope that this helps. Sending you a virtual hug and I hope that you feel better soon 💚
@@YogawithRachel Thank you so much for your response! I can tell that you are truly a unique and highly empathic person. A doctor did the Epley on me, but she didn't have any experience with it and I don't hink she did it correctly. I will go to an experienced chiropractor next time. Completed a full days work today and I am pretty relieved. Going slow and steady. Will do your exercise tonight and cross my fingers for tomorrow. Again, thank you SO much!! 🥰🙏
@@frydiskilmer358 You are so welcome! Another useful resource that you can look into is seeing an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat specialist) if you haven't already. Oftentimes, they can refer you to a specialist that can perform the Epley maneuver and can run other tests related to the inner ear. Just a thought! Good on you for completing a full day of work! Take it easy! Also, feel free to let me know how the class goes for you! 💚 Take care 🤗
@@YogawithRachel Yes, an ENT will be the next move if this doesn't improve here soon. Have a great day! 🤗
Hello dear, how are you? A month and a half ago I had my first vertigo attack. It was scary and really unpleasant. I went to a physical therapist and he put the crystals back in place. For me it's the left channel. Since then I've been really afraid to practice yoga lest it catch me in some challenging position, maybe I'll fall and break an arm or a leg or fall on my head. And at night I'm afraid the attack will come because I'm pregnant. I see that you practice yoga. I would love for you to share your experience with me. And have you found a drug that completely prevents seizures. Thank you .
Hi there! First off, thank you for sharing some of your story with me. I am happy to hear that you sought support from a physical therapist! I can understand why you would experience feelings of fear in relation to movement, such as yoga. Speaking from personal experience, the best thing that I could do was send messages of safety to my nervous system. I accomplished this through meditation practices, breathwork practices, affirmations ("I am safe in my mind and body," "my body is healing from the inside out," etc.), and self-hugs to create a sense of connection and safety in my mind and body. Once I started to feel more grounded, connected and secured, I explored gentle stretches and yoga poses that felt good in my body. I explored graded exposure. In time, I resumed all movement without fear of symptoms coming on. I didn't have to take any meditation for what I was experiencing. The bouts of dizziness and vertigo were caused from an over-stimulated nervous system following a car accident. The reason why we experience dizziness and vertigo varies from person to person and case to case. What worked for me, may not work for someone else as their nervous system is completely unique to them. I highly recommend speaking to a healthcare practitioner to see what graded exposure to movement could look like for you. They will likely be able to provide more guidance as to what types of movements you can explore. I wish you all the best in your journey 💗 Take good care 🙏🤗
Nice video thanks for sharing
Thank you 🙏
Hi dear very nice video 👍💓💕❤️👏💖💗♥️❤️
Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words! I hope that you have an amazing day 🙏😊✨
Is vertigo can make your head shake
Hi Rafina. I personally haven't experienced vertigo making my head shake. If it's possible, I recommend speaking with a healthcare practitioner. Document your symptoms in relation to what you are feeling, how often it happens and when it happens. This information can be useful. Thank you for being here, and take good care 💕
helpful!
Great yoga😍🌸👍💐
Thank you 🙏 I am glad that you enjoyed today's practice 😊
I have been fighting bought of vertigo off and on for the past year. When I have a vertigo spell I'm normally down for a couple weeks. It really hits me hard. I tried your video for the first time today and I would really like to do more. I have three children , 2 that are type 1 diabetics. So they need me for a lot. I push myself to get things done. I make myself do it through a spell. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Heather 😊 Thank you for being here and for sharing some of your story with me. First off, I am so sorry to hear that you have been experiencing bouts of vertigo for the past year. On top of that, caring for your children. My heart goes out to you. I am not a medical professional, but I can share some of the things I tried to help manage my symptoms. If it is available to you, I recommend speaking to a healthcare professional, such as a family doctor, as they can provide referrals to for you to see a specialist(s) and/or run tests to hopefully help you understand what is causing the vertigo. It could be related to the inner ear, so a scan of the ear canal would be helpful (just to make sure everything is functioning as it should). Vertigo can also stem from the neck. Again, if it is available, it may be a good idea to see a physiotherapist that specializes in vestibular rehabilitation. When I experienced vertigo, I would drink a ginger and honey tea. When I was having a good day, I would boil some water in a big pot with a few cut up pieces of ginger and allow that to boil for at least 20 minutes. I would then stir in some honey and put the tea in a container (you can leave the ginger chunks in there). I would then drink this tea (hot or cold) whenever I was feeling dizzy. I found that the ginger helped with the nausea and the dizziness lessened. I mention it in this video, repeating mantras, such as "I am safe," was useful. It served as a reminder that I am okay and that I would get through this spell. Listening to your body is another strategy. I know that this is easier said than done! If you have a moment or two throughout your day, I invite you to sit down and just take a few breath cycles. You can keep your eyes open and look down and past your nose. Focus on the breath. It may even help to repeat in your head, "breathe in...breathe out..." The breath is a great tool for grounding. Finally, you can keep a journal of your day. This journal can help you pinpoint whether something in particular triggers the vertigo. This could be an activity, something you ate, a time of day, sleep, etc. A journal can be very useful if you decide to speak to a healthcare professional regarding the bouts of vertigo. Thank you for reaching out to me. I hope that these suggestions are useful. I am so sorry that you are experiencing this. Please know that you are not alone in this! Sending love and light your way 💜🙏
Very good demostration. let me follow it. subscribed t0 support. Thumbed up
Wasn't able to do child pose as down with another aggravation sadly,am better otherwise,thanku so muchfor ur concern
Each day and moment will be different 💜 Feel free to skip child's pose and explore a comfortable seat of your choosing. You can focus on the breath. Or if it feels good, you can lay on your back (resting your head on a pillow) and then hug the knees in towards your chest. Place your hands on your knees. This is like child's pose, but on the back body. You may find that this option feels better. I am proud of you for showing up 😊 Take good care!

With vertigo, there is no way in the world these movements are possible. The head can not move like this...AT ALL! I personally would either pass out, or vomit profusely with my head spinning for days.
What works for one, may not work for all. I hope that you find something that supports you in your journey 💜 Take care!
