As you know we are all for using yoga as a tool to help navigate through life and other things you might be dealing with, such as depression. This great article shared from Psychology Today is older but not irrelevant.

“According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, 58 percent of those who practice yoga do so for mental and physical well-being, and 16 percent use yoga to treat specific conditions. Yoga is increasingly being studied as a medical treatment for various conditions and the preliminary results are that it is an effective treatment for several disorders, including depression.”
