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.

According to the Mayo Clinic exercise is not a cure but it does ease the symptoms of depression.

in my experience, it helps when you are younger. i'm 52 now, and sometimes if i do it in the morning, it makes me worse.
