Is exercise really a natural cure for depression?

Author: Medication and yoga poses can help you attack the main source of depression; the feeling that you can’t handle the demands of your life,says Alice Christensen, founder and executive director of the American Yoga Association. She recommends a daily yoga routine that includes 30 minutes of meditation and at least 20 minutes of poses,focusing on these four:dancer, windmill, knee squeeze and lion. These poses help improve blood circulation, she explains, making it easier to break through the lethargy that often accompanies depression.
