What yoga/ qigong exercises might help clear inner ears?

I believe that yoga and taichi are good for clearing out and decongesting the body in general, but are there some specific exercises or stretches that will work more immediately to help clear the inner ears or eustachian tubes?

Put it this way: say you have clogged inner ears and doctors haven’t been able to help much… what do you do?

Get a better doctor. Go to a specialist. You have Zero control over those parts of your body beyond air pressure (equalizing pressure in your ears). If your doctor can’t help you, another one will.
A friend of mine was legally deaf because of that actually, several years later they found a doctor who knew what he was talking about and one simple surgery later his ears were clear and stopped building up material.
You may need surgery or just a simple chemical treatment.

What yoga poses should I avoid if I’ve been diagnosed as having degenerative disc disease?

My "specialist" doctor recently told me I had to quit running and weight lifting because I have degenerative disc disease.
What yoga poses should I avoid?
Almost overnight, I’ve lost my ability to comfortably do forward bends, plow/wide-legged plow, and knees to ears.
I’ve already had surgery for a blow disc (L5-S1), but this pain appears when I run (or "power walk as I do now).
I also have flat feet.
His diagnosis is killing as I derive tremendous pleasure from running.
As per the "Posture Presription", I know longer sit in chairs. I only squat or kneel at a desk.
When sitting on a couch, I sit in cross legged postion with a lumbar roll.
I do a 90 minute yoga session in the a.m., and a 30 minute one in the afternoon.
As per the "McKenzie Method", I do cobra/backend every two hours.
In other words, I do all I can to improve things.
Nevertheless, the pain the area of my traps appears when I walk or run.
Thank you.

www.google.com has a great deal of information that you could use to find your answers , while yahoo answer is more likely to be better for people’s opinions.. thanks.

the meanings of Yoga positions? why do some religions have to have a way to get around downward facing dog?

I read that christians must modify or find a way to "get around the downward facing dog". I am wondering where I can find the meanings of the positions, or at least a reason why that would be so. Thanks.

type yoga positions into your search engine.
yoga can be approached as a method of relaxation and exercise it doesn’t have to be religious.

Have you ever passed a gas while you were in a difficult yoga pose?

Are you supposed to do that or is it a grievous offense?

Haha whenever I did yoga that happened to me a lot. I can’t explain why that happens but I’m just posting to say you’re not alone
