SUMMARY: Yoga\, Mental Health\, and What Science Has to Say
DESCRIPTION:Online Registration\n\nDepression is one of the most common mental health challenges in the world. \nThis research workshop will focus on depressive mood and ways that yoga has been scientifically shown to support mental health.

Amy shares the yogic practices that saved her life\, and can support folks who are experiencing depressive mood. \nOctober is National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month—a time to increase awareness of and conversations around mental health.
