Restoring Inner Peace: A Yin Yoga Class Plan for Managing Severe Depressive Disorder
Greetings, my lovely Yogis, Yoginis, and Yoga teachers. I’m George Watts, a BWY yoga teacher and creator of the online Yoga Genie Lesson Planner.
Today, I’d like to share with you a Yin Yoga class plan to help ease the symptoms of Severe Depressive Disorder. First off, it’s important to know a bit more about what severe Depressive Disorder is.
What is Severe Depressive Disorder?
Severe Depressive Disorder, also known as Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), is a mental health condition characterized by persistent and severe feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and worthlessness. It is one of the most common mental health disorders and can affect people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds.
Individuals with Severe Depressive Disorder may experience a range of symptoms that can have a significant impact on their daily lives.
These symptoms may include:
- Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and worthlessness
- Loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable
- Changes in appetite and weight
- Difficulty sleeping or excessive sleeping
- Fatigue and lack of energy
- Difficulty concentrating and making decisions
- Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
The causes of Severe Depressive Disorder are complex and may involve a combination of genetic, biological, and environmental factors. Treatment typically involves a combination of psychotherapy, medication, and lifestyle changes, and may require a multidisciplinary approach involving mental health professionals, medical doctors, and other healthcare providers.
It is important to seek professional help if you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of Severe Depressive Disorder. With the right treatment and support, many individuals with this condition are able to manage their symptoms and lead fulfilling lives.
Next up, can Yoga help with Severe Depressive Disorder?
Can Yoga Help with Severe Depressive Disorder?
Yes, yoga can be helpful in managing the symptoms of severe depressive disorder. Yoga is a mind-body practice that combines physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.
Here are some ways in which yoga can be beneficial for individuals with severe depressive disorder:
- Reducing stress and anxiety: Yoga has been shown to reduce levels of stress and anxiety by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps the body to relax and promotes feelings of calmness.
- Improving mood: Regular yoga practice has been linked to improved mood and decreased symptoms of depression. This may be due in part to the release of endorphins and other feel-good hormones during yoga practice.
- Increasing self-awareness: Yoga encourages individuals to be present In The Moment and to pay attention to their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. This can increase self-awareness and help individuals to better understand their own thoughts and behaviours.
- Promoting physical health: Yoga can improve physical health by increasing flexibility, strength, and balance, and by reducing the risk of chronic health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. This can in turn improve overall well-being and may help to alleviate symptoms of depression.
While yoga can be a helpful tool in managing symptoms of severe depressive disorder, it is important to seek professional help and follow a comprehensive treatment plan that may include psychotherapy, medication, and other interventions as needed. It is always a good idea to speak with a mental health professional before beginning any new exercise or wellness routine.
Next up, is a Yin Yoga lesson plan I created for managing Severe Depressive Disorder.
Yin Yoga Lesson Plan For Managing Severe Depressive Disorder
Here’s a Yin yoga lesson plan for depressive disorder:
Class Theme: Alleviating Symptoms of Depressive Disorder
Class Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Class Duration: 60 minutes
Props Required: Yoga mat, blocks, bolster, blanket, and strap.
Aims:
- To promote relaxation and calmness in the body and mind
- To ease symptoms of depressive disorder
- To help students connect with their breath and find stillness within themselves
Objectives:
- To warm up the body and release tension and stiffness through gentle movements
- To hold Yin yoga poses for an extended period to promote relaxation and calmness
- To use props to support the body in each pose, allowing students to surrender into the pose and find stillness
- To end the class with restorative poses that further promote relaxation and calmness
- To encourage students to focus on their breath and connect with their inner selves throughout the practice
- To provide a safe and supportive environment for students to explore their practice and promote healing of the mind and body.
Breathwork (5 minutes): Begin the class in a comfortable seated position, with legs crossed and hands resting on the knees. Instruct the students to do the Abdominal Breath (take deep inhales and exhales through the nose, focusing on filling the belly and chest with air on the inhale, and releasing all the tension and stress on the exhale). Encourage the students to close their eyes, and continue with the Abdominal Breath for 5 minutes.
Warm-Up (10 minutes): Start with gentle movements to warm up the body and ease any tension or stiffness. Begin with Cat-Cow stretches, moving the spine from a rounded position to an arched position. Instead of doing Cat-Cow stretches on the mat, they could do them on a chair (Cat-Cow On A Chair I, Cat-Cow On A Chair II, and Cat-Cow On A Chair III). Move into Cow Leg Raises.
Move into Child’s Pose, holding it for 2-3 minutes to allow the students to settle in and connect with their breath (You could also do Child’s Pose On A Chair).
Yin Yoga Poses (35 minutes): Move into a series of Yin yoga poses that help promote relaxation and calmness. Hold each pose for 3-5 minutes, allowing the students to surrender into the pose and find stillness in the body and mind. Use props like blocks, bolsters, and blankets to support the body in each pose.
Add the following Yin poses:
- Seated Forward Fold (Paschimottanasana) – promotes relaxation and stretches the lower back and hamstrings.
- Supported Bridge Pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana) – promotes relaxation and stretches the chest, shoulders, and hips.
- Reclining Bound Angle Pose (Supta Baddha Konasana) – promotes relaxation and opens the hips and groin.
- Sphinx Pose (Salamba Bhujangasana) – promotes relaxation and gently stretches the spine.
- Pigeon Pose (Eka Pada Rajakapotasana) – promotes relaxation and stretches the hips.
- Pigeon Fold On A Chair (Eka Pada Rajakapotasana) – promotes relaxation and stretches the hips.
- Pigeon Using Yoga Blocks – promotes relaxation and stretches the hips.
Restorative Poses (5 minutes): End the class with a series of restorative poses that help promote even more relaxation and calmness. Use props like blankets and bolsters to support the body. Add Child’s Pose, Legs Up Wall Pose, and Savasana With Props (Place a bolster under the knees to release the lower back. Place a neck pillow, headrest or rolled-up blanket under the head. Place a bolster under the upper back. Arms out to sides). Encourage the students to focus on their belly breathing (Abdominal Breath) and find stillness in the body and mind.
Guided Relaxation (5 minutes): In a soft, calming voice guide your students through this relaxation:
“Find a comfortable position, lying down on your back or sitting up with your spine straight. Allow your eyes to close and take a deep breath through your nose, feel the air fill up your lungs, and exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat this a few more times, breathing in relaxation and exhaling tension.
Now, bring your attention to your body. Starting at the top of your head, imagine a warm, soothing light flowing down from your scalp, melting away any tension or stress in your forehead, temples, and eyes. Let your cheeks, jaw, and neck release any remaining tightness as the light flows down your throat and shoulders.
As the warm light reaches your chest and heart, imagine a gentle breeze blowing away any heavy emotions or negative thoughts. Let your heart fill up with peace, love, and compassion. Allow the light to flow down your arms and into your fingertips, relaxing each muscle and joint.
Moving down to your stomach, imagine a soft cloud forming underneath you, supporting you and giving you a sense of stability and grounding. Let any worries or fears dissolve into the cloud, knowing that you are safe and protected.
As the light reaches your hips and thighs, feel a sense of openness and flexibility, as if you are being gently stretched and released from any tightness or pain. Let your knees, calves, and feet rest comfortably, enjoying the feeling of weightlessness and relaxation.
Take a few deep breaths in and out, feeling your whole body filled with the warm, soothing light, and the soft cloud underneath you. Allow yourself to stay in this peaceful state for as long as you like, knowing that you can always come back to it whenever you need to.
As we come to the end of this practice, bring your attention back to your breath, feeling it flow in and out naturally. Take a moment to express gratitude for yourself for taking this time to nourish your mind, body, and soul.
When you are ready, slowly open your eyes, stretch your body, and take a moment to notice how you feel. Remember that you can always come back to this state of relaxation and peace whenever you need it.”
Closing (5 minutes): Instruct the students to slowly open their eyes and come back to a comfortable seated position. Thank them for their practice and encourage them to carry the feelings of calmness and relaxation into their day.

Next up, is how yoga can help regulate the nervous system and reduce stress.
How Yoga Can Help Regulate the Nervous System & Reduce Stress, which can be a Major Contributing Factor to Depression
Yoga is a powerful tool for regulating the nervous system and reducing stress, both of which can play a significant role in the development and maintenance of the depressive disorder.
When we experience stress, our bodies go into a “fight or flight” response, releasing stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline that can have negative effects on our mental and physical health over time.
Yoga, through its focus on breathing techniques, movement, and relaxation, can help to counteract this stress response and promote a sense of calm and well-being.
One way that yoga can regulate the nervous system is through the practice of pranayama, (also called “yogic breathing techniques”) such as the Alternate Nose Breath.
Pranayama has been shown to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the “rest and digest” response in the body. This can help to counteract the effects of the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the stress response. By practising pranayama regularly, we can train our bodies to respond more effectively to stress and reduce the impact of stress on our physical and mental health.
In addition to pranayama, the physical practice of yoga can also help to regulate the nervous system and reduce stress. Certain types of yoga, such as Restorative Yoga and Yin Yoga, focus on slow, gentle movements and longer holds of poses, which can help to release tension and promote relaxation. These practices can also stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system and reduce the impact of the stress response on our bodies and minds.
Finally, the mindfulness aspect of yoga can also help to regulate the nervous system and reduce stress. By focusing on the present moment and cultivating a sense of awareness and acceptance, we can reduce the impact of negative thoughts and emotions on our mental health. Mindfulness can also help us to recognize when we are experiencing stress and take steps to counteract it, such as practising pranayama , slowing down everything we do (e.g. washing up, walking, breathing, etc) or taking a break from a stressful situation (e.g. by walking in the garden or doing Savasana).
Next up, is my conclusion.
George’s Conclusion
In conclusion, my fellow yogis, the trick in life is to find ways to not take life too seriously (that’s easier said than done when you have Severe Depressive Disorder). Just like yoga, life is all about finding balance, letting go of what no longer serves us, and embracing the present moment with a smile.
So if you’re feeling down and blue, don’t hesitate to unroll your mat and join me for a Yin yoga class. Stretch, breathe, and surrender to the blissful stillness within. And who knows, maybe you’ll even discover your inner Zen master and start levitating like a true Yogedi (a Jedi master who uses Yoga to tap into The Force). Just kidding, that might take a bit more practice.
Remember, the most important thing is to show up to your mat daily (even if for only 5 minutes) and be present, no matter where you’re at in your yoga journey.
