Is Practising Yoga Safe While Neck Pain?

I am 30 years old. I do shirsason. I can keep myself in this asan around 2 minutes. Today I am feeling a neck pain. I am sure it is not because of shirsason but because of
movement of my neck while working. should I stop doing it untill the pain disappears? any other caution of neck movement that I need to take.

hi
please stop doing the shirsason, once you have developed the pain , it is not good to do this
you have a tendency to damage your spine further
please take some simple painkiller to reduce the pain.
if it still persists, please visit an orthopaedician & go ahead for an x-ray cervical spine, to rule out any injury.
the earlier the better , if it gets complicated, you will land up into other chronic problems
all the best
take care
