How Yoga Healed My Depression

How Movement Helped Me Heal

Depression hit like a rogue wave—sudden, disorienting, and overwhelming. Yoga was my lifeline. I started practicing just to survive, chasing a few precious hours of peace. Eventually, those hours turned into days, and one unforgettable moment on a Maui highway showed me: I was finally okay.

In this blog, I share how movement—yoga asana, strength training, and walking—helped me rebuild from the inside out. We also revisit what made early yoga so powerful and how to reconnect with its healing roots.

Because sometimes, healing isn’t in your head—it starts in your body.
