Is it safe/beneficial to take a hot yoga class during a migraine headache?

Hello Tricia

Welcome to the forum. Triggers for migraines are numerous. What is or are your trigger/s? Migraines can be so debilitating: Nausea, sensitivity to light, dizziness, vomiting and so many manifestations. What happens for you? Do you hole yourself up in a room? Are you able to continue operating as you normally do, and just in pain (and less productive)?

As a sufferer of migraines, you would be aware of those people who say “I’ve got a migraine” when what they really mean is “I have a headache”. Those people might find that their headaches benefit from the class during their headache.

In my experience, most people with a migraine would avoid the room during a migraine because they simply cannot function. However, it is also my experience, that migraines occur less frequently once you develop a sufficiently frequent and regular practice.

How long have you had this particular migraine?

I hope you feel better soon. Do let me know how you go. Anyway I hope to see you back here with some responses to the above.

Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
