The idea in yoga therapy is not that we would try to take away the addictive substance, but we would try to get underneath it and figure out what is the suffering that's not being addressed.

In this eye-opening episode of the Sun & Moon Sober Living Podcast, Mary Tilson sits down with Amy Wheeler, PhD, a seasoned Yoga Therapist and founder of The Optimal State.
