feel a lot better within a couple months -- even if they practice just once a week, a small clinical trial suggests.Study participants took class in a room heated to 105 degrees and followed a traditional Bikram yoga sequence -- a set of 26 postures that is the same each class.
For the latest trial, Nyer's team initially recruited 80 people with moderate-to-severe depression -- mostly women with an average age of 32. They randomly assigned half to heated yoga classes and half to a waitlist. "I think this study is encouraging and adds to a growing body of research indicating that movement, including yoga, may help alleviate depressive symptoms," said Dr. Gregory Scott Brown, director of the Center for Green Psychiatry in Austin, Texas.
