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.
The exercises in this 15-minute class include “Extended Triangle Pose”, “Crow Pose” 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.
