Only one study to date examines the safety of yoga practice among individuals with MDD, with a focus on the effects of yoga use on suicidal ideation (SI) without intent (subjects who had suicidal ideation with intent were excluded from the study).35 This study reported that Iyengar yoga and coherent breathing practice were associated with the resolution ofSIin8 out of9 participants throughout the 12-week study. Additionally, no SAEs were reported over the course of the study and non-serious AEs were primarily musculoskeletal, which is consistent with prior reviews.31 Of note, only one participant reported an AE that was not uniquely associated with physical postures (i.e., increased negative thoughts); all other AEs were posture-related (e.g., musculoskeletal injuries, headache, dizziness). As such, additional research on AEs associated with other components of YBIs, namely breathing and meditation, in depressed populations specifically is warranted. While the available data suggest that YBIs have an acceptable risk profile, there is a need for consistent reporting of AEs associated with YBIs. The need to clearly characterize the safety of yoga practice for various age groups warrants additional research before clinicians will be able to integrate YBIs into routine care.
