The power of a proper practice never ceases to amaze me. I was just looking at a few studies that show how asana and pranayama have very positive outcomes for people suffering with schizophrenia.
In past studies meditation has been shown to worsen symptoms for this population. Yoga and pranayama however seem to work pretty well by lessening symptoms and improving quality of life.
It is so potent to train the mind through movement in breath. This serves as a great reminder to us all of why we practice. The effect of balancing the physical and pranic bodies through movement with breath is felt every time we step onto our mats. To self heal in this way, even if you are not suffering with such a difficult mental condition, is a great service to ourselves and everyone around us. If you know anyone suffering from mental issues like anxiety or depression, a Yoga Therapist may be of great service to them. Spread the word.
Taking control over our well being is our birthright and yoga therapy is a gem available to all.
Om Shanti,
Brandt
