By GWEN LAWRENCE

If you suffer from seasonal allergies and are looking for relief on you mat, Gwen Lawrence, founder of Yoga for Sports in New York City, has three suggestions for your next sequence.

1. Try Fish Pose

This gentle inversion opens your throat and lungs.

2. Try Supported Shoulderstand

This pose opens your nasal passages and improves drainage.

3. Try Pranayama

Yogic breathwork helps increase lung capacity and gives your overworked immune system a rest.
