What Can Yoga Do for Migraine Relief? Yoga can provide more than just physical fitness. It can bring calm and peace to your mind and body, as well as help with ailments such as anxiety, depression, and pain.

2018-10-18T12:00:15+00:0018/10/2018|Categories: Associations, News|Tags: , |

#MoveForMigraine Migraine remains an overlooked and misunderstood condition in many parts of Europe, including Belgium.
