Take part in a series of online presentations and discussions on yoga and recovery.
Based in part on the book and workbook – Yogic Tools For Recovery- A Guide For Working The Steps some presentations go deeper into science as well as philosophy. You don’t have to have read the book to benefit from these deep dives into certain topics that combine the philosophy of yoga and the principles of twelve-step recovery programs.
These are both offered live and then as recordings; you can choose one of them, some or all.
Why should you spend your time and money on this series? If you grew up in a house where chaos reigned due to chronic illness such as active addiction, physical disability, mental illness or other forms of adversity such as radically changing financial security you may have some difficulties adapting to daily life. If you been exposed to accidents, illness, hospitalizations, or other forms of mental or physical uncertainty your actions and reactions may not be quite what you wish them to be. Do you long for a sense of stability and peace in your body, mind, and spirit? Here are some ways yoga can enhance what you have already been doing for yourself.
