Yoga was found to increase coping strategies and well-being for patients who live with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
One of the first studies investigated a modified practice of yoga on patients with schizophrenia disorders.mindfulness
Schizophrenia, by nature, is characterized by cognitive, sensory, and emotional disorder, so it would make sense to suspect that mind-body therapies might help with some of the cognitive and emotional symptoms. Patients who are hospitalized tend to have increased negative symptoms that render the patient more dysfunctional than those who can live with their disorder outside of an inpatient clinic.
The yoga practice was conducted as a 50-minute class that was modified to fit the individualized requirements specifically for schizophrenia spectrum disorder patients. Out of an instruction manual, the practice was carefully selected and developed by psychiatrists, psychologists, yoga teachers, and the patients themselves. The goal was to choose poses and a practice that would be accessible to all of the patients regardless of their physical activity levels.
