Yoga support for Low mood
A gentle sequence combining energising and restful shapes to support movement, routine and connection with the body.
About this resource
Low mood can make starting feel difficult. This resource invites people to choose one pose rather than aiming for perfection. Any safe movement counts. The infographic offers eight accessible positions that may be completed as a sequence or chosen individually. There is no requirement to hold a posture for a set time; comfort, breathing and personal choice come first.
How to use it
· Choose a quiet, safe space and gather any cushions, blankets or a chair you may need.
· Begin with one or two positions and build only if the practice feels supportive.
· Breathe naturally; never hold the breath or force a stretch.
· Use the guide as a prompt, not a test. Skip or adapt any position.
Included positions
Mountain pose, Half sun flow, Warrior II, Supported squat, Cobra, Bridge, Knees to chest, Resting pose.
Important safety note
This resource is for general education and wellbeing. It does not diagnose, treat or cure any condition. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness, numbness, unusual shortness of breath or feel unwell. Seek individual advice if you have a medical condition, recent surgery or injury, are pregnant, or are unsure whether a movement is appropriate.
Until next time, give yourself space to breathe.
With love, Maggie
