Health guide
01
Why class intensity can matter
Hot yoga, Bikram-style practice, Power Yoga and other vigorous formats combine factors that some people with migraine identify as triggers, including heat, dehydration and high physical demand. Individual triggers still vary, so there is no single style that must be avoided by everyone.
02
A lower-demand alternative
Gentle Hatha, restorative yoga and yoga nidra are described in the source material as more suitable options for migraine. If you attend a class, tell the instructor about your migraine history and choose modifications that keep the practice comfortable.
