Heated yoga classes can help some people with depression 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. So, if heated yoga appeals to you and it's available, try it. If yoga without the heat is more your speed, try that. 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.
Overall, they found, people who stuck with yoga were much more likely to see their depression symptoms ease or go away. And it did not take a big yoga dose: On average, participants took 10 classes over eight weeks — barely more than once per week.
