The “Overcoming Depression” yoga routine offers a way to care for yourself through manageable movement. Working your muscles and paying attention to your breath help you focus on how your body feels.
This 10-minute class includes “Upward Stretch”, “Low Side-to-Side Weight-Shift Kriya” and “Cat Pose”. In Cat Pose, pay attention to your stability and the position of your back. The class ends with time to rest lying down.
Choose a pace you can manage and take breaks when you feel tired. If you have depression, yoga can complement professional support and prescribed treatment.
