PsyTech VR offers VR-based yoga classes through their PsyTech VR app, which combines a learning management system with micro training created by mental health specialists. Their VR therapy system is designed to be managed by mental health specialists who screen patients and then observe their VR sessions.

A study on VR-enhanced mindfulness and yoga intervention showed that integrating VR technology with traditional mindfulness and yoga practices effectively reduces both postpartum depression and anxiety.

The study involved an experimental group using VR-enhanced mindfulness and yoga, a control group participating in traditional in-person mindfulness and yoga, and a blank group receiving no intervention. Each group participated in 60-minute sessions three times a week for eight weeks. The VR sessions used the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset and included 15 minutes of mindfulness practice via the Supernatural app, followed by 45 minutes of VR yoga using the ‘Anti-COVID’ module from Yoga Master. The yoga sessions progressed through beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.

The results of the study demonstrated that VR-enhanced mindfulness and yoga intervention significantly outperformed traditional approaches in treating postpartum depression and anxiety. The experimental group showed substantial reductions in both depressive symptoms and anxiety levels and reported significantly higher satisfaction rates compared to traditional interventions.
