Another effective yoga pose to cure a hangover is the spinal twist. Bring your arms to your shoulder level. Bend your right leg and bring it closer to the left knee, and move it over the left knee. Now, put your left hand on top of the knee and look behind your right shoulder, twisting your spine. Breathe out. Relax. And repeat the same on the other side as well.
