Some great tips and points made.

Back in 2018 any form of exercise at all was triggering attack.

I couldn’t even do aqua fit with the elders.

In the end, I “yoga for migraine” came up in my research.

I started slow. Very slow. Shirt walks with regular rests. Nowadays I’d go so far as to say breathwork is a form of movement. Particularly because it’s accessible during any level of attack. Would you agree?

Absolutely! Start where you can, no judgment or comparison to others. Your progress is your own journey.

Right now, deconditioning is my biggest issue. Any amount of exercise seems to trigger a migraine.

I've found that it's like many other therapy options, great for some, and not so much for others (about 50:50.) For reference, I wrote about this last year: FAQ Episode 32: Can an Ear Piercing help your migraines? https://naturalmigrainerelief.substack.com/p/faq-episode-32-can-an-ear-piercing
