I agree that yoga can be marvelous for helping to relieve back pain. I suffered from back pain for a long time when I was depressed and daily yoga strengthened and stretched my spine in a profound way. It was one of the best helps out there apart from swimming which also helped immensely.

I had been suffering from depression for several years before I began practising yoga. Depression runs in my family. Yoga helped me tremedously to overcome my depression. It has helped me to feel more grounded and happy with the small things in life and has also opened up my potential for the future. As well as restoring a sense of well being after I practise, yoga also allows me to think more about the potential of me doing what i love in the future. So it empowers me to think more positively about the future and about my life in general. I would definately recommend yoga to someone suffering from depression. On a side not I tried prescription medications for several years and they did not appear to help to ease my depression at all.
