Stretching Beyond Sobriety: Jesse Mogle on Yoga and Recovery

Episode Overview

  • Embracing new activities and practices in sobriety and recovery
  • Understanding the parallels between physical activities, such as yoga, and emotional challenges
  • Recognizing the importance of patience and consistent effort in the recovery journey
  • Encouraging self-compassion and gradual progress
  • Promoting emotional and physical stretching for personal growth
But it starts with the first time you get on the ground and do the little yoga stretch and realize, you know what? It's actually pretty cool.
Ever thought about how yoga and addiction recovery might be connected? In this episode, Jesse Mogle dives into his personal experience of integrating yoga into his journey from sobriety to recovery. After years of battling addiction, Jesse discovered that the principles of yoga—patience, consistency, and self-compassion—mirror those needed for a successful recovery. He shares insights from his first yoga session in years, revealing how the slow, deliberate process of stretching can teach us valuable lessons about healing and growth.
Just as you can't undo years of muscle tension in one yoga class, recovery is also a gradual process that requires dedication and kindness towards oneself. Jesse's reflections offer a fresh perspective on how physical practices can support emotional and mental well-being. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to enrich their recovery journey with new, holistic practices.
