| Hi,
my sister has schizophrenia and depression and some have suggested that she should do yoga. I'm extremely confused as to what type of yoga classes i should sign her up for. Can someone help me out please and thank you! | |

| Yoga can help depression. Yoga will not help schizophrenia. Any type of yoga is helpful for depression, in fact, any type of exercise is helpful.

Location: Louisville, Kentucky, | One of the most common benefits of regular yoga practice is increased body awareness. People who suffer from schizophrenia often have trouble distinguishing reality from fantasy, and tend to have distorted perceptions of their own bodies, which can contribute to depression and psychosomatic symptoms. For these reasons, yoga poses may help schizophrenic patients establish a stronger tie to reality. | |
