Yoga can help with depression and anxiety in 3 ways: 1) Certain yoga poses like Sarvangasana and specific pranayamas can help balance mood-related neurotransmitters in the brain. 2) The focus on breath and present moment during yoga helps calm the mind and reduce overthinking, taking one's attention away from worries or sadness. 3) Developing body awareness and mindfulness through yoga can help manage stress levels and anxiety over the long-run.
