How to practice Ear Pressure Pose

  1. Begin from a supported Plow Pose with the head completely still.
  2. Bend the knees toward the floor beside the ears.
  3. Keep weight on the shoulders rather than the neck.
  4. Support the back with the hands or extend the arms only if stable.

Practice tips

  • Use folded blankets beneath the shoulders.
  • Keep the knees elevated on a chair.
Practice note: Practice only with qualified guidance; avoid for neck, eye or blood-pressure concerns.
