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.
In this 20-minute class, you'll practice “Revolved Side Angle Pose”, “Cat Pose” and “Downward-Facing Dog”. In Cat Pose, keep yourself steady and pay attention to the position of your back. You'll finish by lying down to rest.
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.
