Yoga of Recovery MODULE: Between the Mat and the Meeting

For everyone, including Yoga teachers and health professionals

Health and recovery from addiction and disease involve fully living in the wholeness that you are. By recognizing your innate strengths and stress-response tendencies, you can learn to revitalize your body’s systems rather than to depend on addictive, unhealthy behaviors.

In this Module, you will learn:

• Ayurvedic healing tools for all addictive tendencies
• Teachings to build a strong foundation for living well, including discussions on stress, digestion, sleep, hygiene, and detoxification
• Practices for deep self-care and emotional regulation through simple Ayurvedic daily routines that you can practice at home

Optional 12-step meetings will be offered throughout the course.

If circumstances prevent you from taking the entire module, you have the option to register for Yoga of Recovery®–WEEKEND, on June 18–21, 2020.
