Yoga is a holistic practice. Quite often I am approached by people with very specific ailments looking for a cure. I am at pains to explain that yoga is a way of life. A number of studies recently have found a connection between yoga and dealing with depression. It is believed that yoga can reduce the impact of certain stress responses. This in turn helps reduce the heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and eases respiration.
Today, I am going to introduce you to certain basic principles of yoga. If you suffer from depression, you are battling anxiety and other mental health conditions, ease your way into yoga, and you’ll feel the difference.
Stand stable at the centre of the mat.
Bring your right leg towards the inside of your left leg.
You can start by keeping it close towards the perineum, if this tough, bring it further down towards your knee, to the shin, to the ankle, wherever it is comfortable to hold at the moment.
Bring your hands closer towards the centre of your chest, pressing your palms together in such a way that your arms are in line with each other.
Keep your eyes connected to a point slightly higher than your eye level so you know what’s around you.
Hold the position for 6 to 7 breaths. And slowly when you breathe out, bring your foot down and relax.
