Rebalancing Vertigo
In our sessions, we integrate evidence-based techniques like the Epley manoeuvre to support mechanical realignment, but we don’t stop there. We follow this with a carefully selected group of yoga poses that approximate inversions with a tilted horizon—such as Thread the Needle where the hips rise slightly above the heart and the head tilts below—to help the body gently re-train its sense of orientation in space. These shapes create a safe, supported opportunity for the brain and vestibular system to recalibrate.
Equally important is nervous system regulation. Breathwork practices and restorative postures are used to de-escalate the stress response, restoring calm and reducing the loop of anxiety and imbalance. Over time, this integrative approach builds not just physical balance, but also inner stability.
Because ultimately, managing vertigo is not only about repositioning the crystals in the ear—it's about restoring trust in your body's ability to find centre again.
In these contexts, our gaze (Drishti) becomes an important tool.
A Yogic and Nervous System Approach
Vertigo often appears without a clear cause—medically termed idiopathic—but for many, it coincides with periods of high stress or sensory overload. While vertigo is often triggered by biomechanical issues in the inner ear, such as displaced crystals (as in Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo or BPPV), its impact extends far beyond the vestibular system. The resulting dizziness, disorientation, and loss of balance feed directly into the nervous system, often leaving people feeling anxious, ungrounded, and fatigued.
