Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

All kinds of yoga postures are not recommended for everyone.
Beginners should never try tough postures. Always remember that yoga is not just performing tough postures.
The definition of yoga posture says that sthira sukham asana. That means asana is the posture by which you feel comfortable and can be maintained for a long without effort.
A good teacher should not put beginners to perform advanced postures.
Since you have developed headache and eye pain stop the practice for a while. Apply Ksheerabala taila to the head and massage lightly. It will relieve the condition.
If the problem persists please feel free to go for a physical evaluation.
