Important Note

While yoga is a powerful tool for mental health, it's not a replacement for professional mental health treatment. If you're experiencing severe depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions, please consult with a licensed therapist or mental health professional. Yoga works best as a complementary practice alongside professional care.
