Wellness Day Talk: Yoga and Depression
Sudha Prathikanti MD
Saturday, June 29, 2019
1:30 –3:30 pm
Tuition: $25.00 (Member $20.00)
or $40 for the whole Wellness Day
The sixth in our series of presenters for our monthly Wellness Day Program is Integrative Psychiatrist Dr. Sudha Prathikanti.
Dr. Prathikanti is keenly interested in discovering which complementary and alternative therapies may show scientific efficacy in the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders.
In 2017, she and her co-investigators published an intriguing research study, Treating Major Depression with Yoga: A Prospective Randomized, Controlled Pilot Trial. This is the first rigorous scientific study outside of India to examine yoga as a solo therapy in diagnosed major depression. Results show that in adults with mild-to-moderate major depression, practicing hatha yoga twice-weekly for 8 weeks is associated with statistically and clinically significant reductions in depression severity. This is great news.
Hear more about mental health and Dr. Prathikanti's holistic approach, including some recommended practices. As always, bring your questions.
Wellness Day also includes an active (and fun) focus on health from 4:00-6:00pm which includes movement, breathing, relaxation, goal-setting and a healthy, vegetarian meal. Come to just the talk or both!
