I am wishing you the best in overcoming this!

I am sorry it took me so long to respond back to your post. I was trying to find the article I was reading in one of my yoga journals, but I wasn’t successful in finding it. I’ll keep looking.

I remember that the article discussed sun salutations and any type of inversion (from headstands to downward dog) being very helpful for depression.

In lieu of the article, I did find a couple of links that may be helpful.

I hope this is helpful. When I find the article that I recall, I will post again in hopes that there is a nugget of gold in there for you :)

All the best…

jane Have a wonderful 2010. I hope it's your best year yet!!

Cheers!

This battle with depression is the sort of war that is best waged gently. It sounds like you’ve got a good strategy for that. I hope your day was fortifying and self-nurturing.
