Hatha Yoga has been widely researched, studied and proven to show results in treating depression. The benefits of practicing Hatha yoga far outweigh any other forms of alternative therapy in treating depression. Pranayama in itself is solely responsible for helping to normalize the mind and body connection and through its persuasive breathing techniques and meditative practices you will be able to reduce the stress anxiety and get rid of all forms of negative feelings.
