gggreenlight asked: What's your opinion on yoga? I am thinking of taking some classes to help reduce stress, as I have stress-related migraines. Anything else you know of that helps with migraines? thanks!

Oooh, girl. I know two things: 1) I’ve never done, or had much interest in, yoga. 2) I get migraines, too, though I’m not sure if they’re stress-related or not.

When I get migraines, I try to minimize the sugar and fried food (even more than I already do!), only do very LIGHT exercise (if I do anything too intense, it’s very painful), and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

I bet yoga could be very beneficial for stress in general, and I’m definitely all for it. It’s just not something I’ve done before, so I can’t give you much info. Sorry!
