Yoga for depression

Backbends can help us to move and release stuck energy throughout almost the entire body helping us to feel balanced and clear. In particular, it opens through the chest which opens the heart, helping to become more welcoming to love, life

Strong backbends can sometimes release stored emotions: frustration, fear, anger, sadness as well as joy and love, so it's not unusual to feel some of this again as it works through your body. I've felt irritated after a backbend class but I've also finished a practice with a real sense of love and compassion.
