Hi! Sorry you’re not feeling well. I was hoping for some professional advice myself! But I’ll tell you what I do, keep in mind I’m not an instructor, I can only speak from my experience. Sometimes I can help a migraine with yoga a little, or a lot, sometimes not at all, but I always try. I have a go-to dvd practice with lots of standing forward bends that usually helps a lot. The hanging seems to relieve some pressure for me or something, but if you can’t invert it won’t be for you. Non inversion poses that I will do on my own otherwise that I’ve found helpful to try to help a migraine are:
-
cobra alternated with puppy pose (like downdog but on your knees, arms forward, butt in the air and bringing your face to the ground).
-
The seated twist where you put your elbow on your opposite bent knee to try to look behind you.
-
A pose where you sit with your knees off to the side (like pilates mermaid) & twist your upperbody to look behind you (opposite side as knees) and stretch out on the ground. I saw it in a video once and it just seems to work.
-
wag-the-dog… on all fours make like you are bringing your butt and head together at the side, then switch directions back and forth (like cat/cow but sideways) slowly.
-
and thread the needle pose… on all fours bring your right arm under your left so you are lying your shoulder & head on the ground.
Forgive my ignorance of proper names :p.
Also, neck massage, if someone isn’t around to help, I do it myself with my own hands or with a shiatsu massager machine. And though unsolicited, I’ve found going grain-free/gluten-free has made a huge difference in frequency.
Hope something I’ve tried and said could be of some help to you. Feel better!
