This landed in my electronic in-box recently and it sounded interesting enough to pass along to readers of the Healthy Memphis blog. (If you are planning something equally interesting on a health or fitness topic, please send it our way.)

On June 21, Midtown Yoga is hosting a workshop on yoga for depression. It is scheduled for 2 to 4 p.m. at the studio, 524 S. Cooper. The agenda includes time for discussion about the problem as well as breathing exercises, meditation and yoga poses. There’s even an reading assignment. Sarla Nichols, the studio’s owner and workship teacher, requests participants read “Against Happiness” by author Eric G. Wilson.

The workshop costs $35, although Nichols indicates prospective students with financial limitations should call her at the studio. The number is 270-5373.

She asks students to register in advance. For more information, visit Midtown Yoga’s web site and click on “workshops.”
