"Yoga practices address the root cause of depression: the energy drain caused by the overreactions of our mind to the stresses of our world and the pressures of our fears and desires. By activating our innate mental, psychical and spiritual healing capabilities, Yoga practices strengthens our feeling of joy, peace, and connectedness."
