EPISODE 111:

Why is Yoga Important in Recovery?

We Trained Ourselves Into These Addictive Patterns and, With Yoga, We Can Train Ourselves Out

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re revisiting what I believe to be one of the most important aspects of recovery: Yoga. 

In this episode, we have the pleasure of discussing the role of yoga in recovery and how we can overcome people’s innate resistance to the practice. Chris asks… If freedom from addiction is possible, and yoga is the medicine, how then do we make this medicine more accessible?

This is such an important episode, as there is no one left on the planet unaffected by addiction. You either experience it yourself or someone you love is going through it. And if you want to take your recovery all the way, yoga is going to be a part of it. 

Let’s come to understand both yoga and recovery from a much broader perspective and see what’s waiting for the person in recovery who embraces both paths.

Yoga is a gift for all of humanity.

– Tommy Rosen, In The Circle Podcast

Tommy discusses:

    • Chris asks about the preconceived notions around yoga
    • Defining yoga as calming the mind
    • Breaking barriers of culture, region, and language
    • Can a devout Christian practice yoga in alignment with their beliefs?

Addiction is Part of Everyone’s Journey, But Recovery is Not.
