9 more reasons to do yoga

Here is a list of potential tension headache triggers:

1. Stress
2. Depression or anxiety
3. Lack of sleep or changes in sleep routine
4. Poor posture
5. Working in awkward positions or holding one position for a long time
6. Lack of physical activity
7. Occasionally, hormonal changes related to menstruation, pregnancy, menopause or hormone use
8. Medications used for other conditions, such as depression or high blood pressure
9. Overuse of headache medication
10. Skipping meals

Yoga may alleviate triggers 1-9. Sorry, you alone are responsible for number 10, but a regular practice could cause you to crave healthier food.

Come join me on the mat and let's stop those headaches before they start.

Namaste!
