There is no single Yogasana (pose) that is helpful for sinus problems. According to your age and abilities you will, necessarily, have to include several practices into your routine if you wish to be really rid of sinusitis; and it is really possible.
This would include a regimen of Yogasana (postures), Pranayamas (breathing exercises), Kriyas (cleansing techniques) and a Yoga diet. Depending on your age and fitness you will have to practice all the Yoga poses in the following positions:

Yogic Diet
For sufferers of sinusitis, asthma, bronchitis and other related respiratory tract disorders, a Yogic diet is imperative. This means your daily fare should be Sattvic, (light and predominantly vegetarian) with ample servings of sprouts, green leafy vegetables, seasonal fruits and daily salads. Steer clear of all fatty foods, milk products such as yoghurt, butter and cheese and junk / fast foods. These will worsen your condition and retard the healing process. If, on the other hand you stick to a pure and light vegetarian diet, observe a daily routine of early to bed and early to rise, avoid late nights on the town and practise your poses, breathing exercises and cleansing techniques on a regular basis, you are bound to see the desired results sooner rather than later. Your health is altogether in your hands and sinusitis, though not a debilitating condition is terribly irritating and can make life miserable and impede your progress. So, the best thing to do is to start practicing right now and with continued regularity until you are fully satisfied.
