"Yoga grounds you in the body. People with schizophrenia often have trouble distinguishing themselves from what’s outside of them. The breath work in particular deepens and stabilizes the connection to the body. When a person with schizophrenia becomes more grounded, they become more aware of what is internal and what is external, and their social skills and ability to function are greatly enhanced. In fact, yoga has this benefit for everyone."
