Depression isn't just in your Head
"There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in."
– Leonard Cohen
I became devoted to practice not with discipline but desperation. It was a last-ditch-effort to deal with depression. And it worked. Which was absolutely shocking. And for years, I was so scared that the depression would come back, I tried to figure out WHAT practice was doing.
Unfortunately, there was not a lot of science or studies back then. But there are now. Especially as research has been poured into the nervous system. Now, healing through the body has more and more data. And more data = more direction.
Discover how yoga healed my depression and why bottom-up practices can work when nothing else does in this 24-minute podcast.
May your practice be shocking,
Alison
