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 25-minute class, you'll try “Dynamic Toe Balance”, “Dynamic Toe-to-Heel Rocking in Standing Forward Bend”, and “Cat Pose”. In Cat Pose, stay steady and pay attention to the position of your back. You'll lie down to rest at the end of the class.
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.
