Yoga For The Blues
Why yoga is good for helping end postpartum depression.
You can also perform yoga mudras. Yoga mudras are another powerful tool to recover from postpartum depression. Based on the principle of Ayurveda, yoga mudras are understood as a healing modality. The Sanskrit word mudra is translated as a gesture. Mudras are used to enrgise different parts of the body. Our fingers have the characteristics of these elements, and each of these five elements serves a specific and important function within the body. The fingers are akin to electrical circuits. The use of mudras adjusts the flow of energy – affecting the balance of air, fire, water and earth.
