Yoga for Migraine

my own private Idaho migraine retreat

Published about 10 hours ago • 1 min read

I have only the warmest memories of my first in-person Beyond Migraine luxury retreat last weekend.

Everything went better than I imagined – the weather was beautiful, everyone got along super well, and the only thing I forgot to bring was bingo (we found a virtual version to play on our phones instead!).

Six alumni from my Beyond Migraine coaching program flew in from as far and wide as Alaska and Tennessee to deeply relax and be spoiled in a small town in Idaho.

Having known these amazing women for years on Zoom, it felt like a reunion, even though we had never actually met in person before.

We all live with migraine and felt comfortable with each other in a way we don't always feel with others who have never experienced it.

We had a gorgeous house in the country all to ourselves with a spring-fed clear blue pond and tons of birds.

We were treated to gourmet farm-to-table meals that catered to everyone’s unique dietary needs (our caterer was a wizard accommodating everything from vegetarian to high-protein to low-sodium to low-tyramine and everything in between!).

We got massages and went to a nearby hot springs with our own private pool and cold plunge. (I tried the cold plunge for the first time and I maybe lasted 20 seconds!)

I taught candle light restorative yoga and yoga nidra, walking meditation and even a little bellydance.

But most of all, it was a once-in-a lifetime experience to fully unwind in the most migraine-friendly setting and connect to other women with migraine who completely get you.

It was a chance to feel deeply supported, pampered and understood.

I would never wish migraine on anyone, but I am grateful that it brought us all together to experience our retreat.

You can see photos here and a fun video from our beautiful retreat below.

My gratitude and love for my Beyond Migraine family runs deep. And for all the talented women who fed us, gave us massages and prepared the beautiful space we shared together. 💜

Take care,

PS We did all experience migraine attacks during the retreat, but we still managed to have an amazing time. You don’t have to wait for migraine to disappear in order to enjoy new experiences.

Last week I participated in my fifth Headache on the Hill (HOH), a biannual advocacy event for better legislation and funding for headache disorders with my representatives in the United States Congress. This year I didn’t fly all the way to Washington DC to participate, but I was able to meet with my representatives virtually for a day of seven meetings for Idaho and Vermont. It sounds easier than flying across the country, but somehow it still wipes me out every time! This year felt a...

I know that seeing other people get better while you’re still struggling with migraine can sometimes feel more discouraging. “Must be nice to be her!” you think as you spend another day in bed with a migraine attack. But sometimes, seeing what’s possible can also give you hope that your migraine can improve when you try something different. I hope watching this short 1 minute video featuring my Beyond Migraine clients gives you a spark of hope. Because my clients inspire me everyday about...

You know what I hear over and over again from so many women with chronic migraine? You’re overwhelmed and exhausted. You want to be more physically active, but struggle to do it regularly. You feel isolated and are starting to lose hope that your migraine will ever get better. Girl, I’ve been there. And one of the things I’ve learned after coaching women with migraine for the last five years is this: You probably don't need more information about migraine. What you really need is support...
