Sorry I don't know of a quick fix.
Mountain Pose (standing on one leg) was good for me but only as part of the holistic yoga process.
When I went through a long very highly stressed period of life I developed vertigo which shocked me as I had been sure footed and fearless. As I de-stressed first using the Alexander Technique (AT) then Kundalini Yoga my vertigo got less and less.
My theory
In AT they teach that as we stress up over a life time we develop 'faulty kinesthesia' ie. our mind/bodies sense of position and movement goes out of adjustment.
So my theory was that the balance mechanisms in my ears and the system that uses my eyes were giving conflicting messages. As it happens slowly the mind habituates to the difference. But when looking up at say a tall building or down from a cliff the unusual angles and distances mean the habituation doesn't cover it and the mind gets confused and dizzy. When up a cliff if we realise we can't trust our balance we feel afraid. AT also teaches that in a stressed person our fear reflexes are over-active and fire too strongly - putting the two things together made sense of where this irrational panic came from.
I have no idea how valid this theory is and haven't found anyone yet who agrees with me. However I have so little vertigo it's back to where I was 20 years ago - but not back to nearly non-existent as when I was a crag hopping youngster.
This was a gradual reduction over some years of daily practice. Maybe there's a mmagic kriya?

Thank you for sharing your theory. I am a kundalini yoga teacher (a practise which has enabled me to continue through some very stressful times) but begun having vertigo attacks just recently. What you wirte here makes sense.
Thank you
PS
There is a book called ' Healing through kundalini : specific applcaitions' 1987 by SS Vikram Kaur Khalsa and Darm Darshan Kaur Khalsa phone contact 619 299 4196 CA
It does not liste vertigo specifically but has specific poses, for example, strengthen nerves, eyes, or blood balance
Given this prolonged stress, the book advises adrenals depleted and so a pose for those is to sit in easy pose right arm straight up, hugging ear,, left arm stright at 60 degrees form horizontal position , palm facing down. On both hands put the thumbonto the mound belwo the little finger. Keep the eyes slightly open and looking at the lips Press the elbows stright Stretch the arms up form the shoulders. Breathing finds its own adjustment and becomes long deep as you continue for 11 mins. Important to keep arms still as you will find the stretch in the shoulders develops to recieve full benefit ( can start with 3 mins as powerful direct healer)
I qoute directly form the book
