But once we put those vices down, like our world really does open up, like I for what, I don't know why I had that mindset that my life was going to be boring because I was really forcing myself to stay in this really small box.
Ever wondered how yoga could be a lifeline in the battle against addiction? Meet Liz McKean, a yoga teacher and recovery advocate who found her path to sobriety on the yoga mat. Growing up in Western New York, Liz faced years of anxiety and heavy drinking. It wasn’t until she discovered yoga that she began to see a way out. The clarity and peace she found through her practice were unlike anything alcohol had ever provided.
Now living in Tampa, Florida, with her husband and rescue pets, Liz works as the National Virtual Program Manager at The Phoenix. This organization is dedicated to creating a sober, active community through live-streamed events like fitness classes, yoga sessions, meditation, and social gatherings. Liz’s story is a testament to the power of community and physical activity in recovery. Through her work with The Phoenix, she helps people across the country connect and find support in their sobriety journey.
She also teaches yoga locally, including at treatment centers, bringing her passion for wellness to those who need it most. In this episode of Recovery Survey, Liz opens up about how finding a supportive community helped her overcome feelings of shame and discover her self-worth. She talks about the newfound freedom and possibilities that sobriety has brought into her life.
If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on using yoga and community to support your recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
