Yoga Workshop: Yoga for Relaxation & Migraine North Dublin

Date: Wednesday April 30th, 2020

Time: 7 pm – 9 pm

Venue: Online

Jane Whelan, a qualified yoga teacher and herself a chronic migraine sufferer, will present a seminar on the therapeutic benefits of yoga for migraine. She will also give an overview of the styles of yoga which may be more suitable for migraine sufferers.

Jane will then lead a practical yoga class introducing attendees to a gentle routine they can use on a daily basis followed by a relaxation session.

This class will also benefit people with other chronic pain conditions, and they are welcome to attend.

Yoga can offer many benefits to people who suffer from migraine. One of the key health attributes of yoga is its ability to reduce stress and it can also help improve autonomic balance in migraine patients. A 2014 research study into the benefits of yoga for migraine sufferers also demonstrated reduced heart rate and improved vagal tone. Vagal tone refers to the amount of activity in the nervous system and the stronger your vagal tone, the stronger your body is at regulating key organ functions.

As smell is a trigger for many migraineurs, we would kindly ask that attendees refrain from wearing perfume, aftershave and any strong-smelling toiletries or cosmetics. Thank you for your co-operation
