Yoga Poses & Migraines

Did you know...Migraine affects more than 10% of the world's population?

There have been scientific studies that have determined that yoga can be very beneficial and an effective treatment for helping with migraine. The yoga that is most recommended for those who suffer are gentle and restorative poses/asanas.

So, try out these poses and join me here at Yoga World Fitness, beginner/gentle yoga on Wednesday's @ 7:00pm EST and restorative yoga on Thursday's @ 5:30pm EST.

We are not a one size fits all world, so do what feels best for you and your body!
