But it's the practice of yoga, the physical practice, the breathing practice, the meditation practice, which all turn the mind within, which is where I'm supposed to be looking.
Aaron Pareigis’ life took a transformative turn after September 11, 2001, leading him down a spiritual path that incorporated Tony Robbins' life coaching, Stoic philosophy, and the 12 Step program. But it was yoga that truly became his anchor. In this episode of Recovery Survey, Aaron, now known as a 'YogaBeast', opens up about how yoga has been pivotal in his recovery journey.
He shares the profound impact of meditation, breathing exercises, and physical postures on his mental and emotional well-being. Aaron emphasizes the power of being present and how yoga can help turn the mind inward, fostering a deep connection between body and mind. He explains how trauma can be stored in the body and how the physical practice of yoga can release this tension, paving the way for healing.
By integrating 12 Step principles into his yoga practice, Aaron highlights the importance of community support and breaking the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of using yoga as a tool for recovery, offering listeners practical insights and inspiration to embrace their own healing journeys.
