	Yoga can help depression. Yoga will not help schizophrenia. Any type of yoga is helpful for depression, in fact, any type of exercise is helpful.

Veteran Posts: 188 Location: Louisville, Kentucky,	One of the most common benefits of regular yoga practice is increased body awareness. People who suffer from schizophrenia often have trouble distinguishing reality from fantasy, and tend to have distorted perceptions of their own bodies, which can contribute to depression and psychosomatic symptoms. For these reasons, yoga poses may help schizophrenic patients establish a stronger tie to reality.
