fitness How can yoga help alleviate anxiety and depression?

[1stop]

I find a lot of benefits in yoga, particularly in treating anxiety and depression. The cardio, strength and relaxation exercises such as postures, breathing methods and meditations help in dealing with the condition or get rid of the symptoms. I have found my mood and sleep to be better because of Yoga.

Yoga is a therapy for anxiety alongside depression. Through yoga's physical practices along with breathing methods and meditation, it can help to reduce stress. Through some yoga sessions, I learned to better recognize my own body. I feel so good now more than ever.

No, yoga doesn't do much to stop depression. Depression is caused by various factors, so getting into the root of the problem can address depression. Until or unless you address the main cause, you can't stop depression just by doing some strange poses alone.
