Cole Chance: Finding Freedom from Addiction Through Yoga and Self-Discovery

I believe that, as Buddhism kind of says, that to be a human is to experience addiction, that we all have this hungry ghost of us that wants a little bit more that can never be satisfied in a way...not everything that we do like or don't like is an addiction, of course, but it's all on a spectrum.
What if the path to recovery could be paved with yoga mats and mindful practices? In this episode of the 'Sun & Moon Sober Living Podcast', host Mary Tilson chats with Cole Chance, a yoga teacher whose journey through addiction is both raw and enlightening. Cole opens up about her struggles with social anxiety, teenage pregnancy, and the shame that led her to seek solace in substances.
Her candid discussion on relapse and the importance of emotional literacy offers a fresh perspective on sustainable recovery. Cole believes that addiction stems from a deep-seated need for belonging, which she refers to as the 'hungry ghost' within us all. Through the combined wisdom of Yoga, Buddhism, Neuroscience, and Psychology, she has found tools that support a thriving life beyond addiction. Her teachings are a unique blend of playful sequencing and compassionate self-inquiry, encouraging curiosity and intellectual exploration.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand addiction from a holistic viewpoint and seeking inspiration for their own journey to wholeness.
