Yoga is an opportunity to, yes, to connect with those feelings, not necessarily with the exact story that created those feelings, but with this: physical sensations that are locked and trapped.
Imagine finding a way to heal both your mind and body while on the journey to recovery. In this episode of 'Sober Conversations', Dr. Herby Bell and Chris Harrison chat with Kyczy Hawk, an author, speaker, and seasoned yoga instructor, about how yoga can be a powerful tool for those battling addiction. Kyczy, who has penned the acclaimed book 'Yoga and the Twelve-Step Path', shares her unique approach of blending yoga with the Twelve Steps program.
She talks about her experiences teaching over 1500 classes to individuals in recovery and how each session offers a chance for renewal and revitalization. Kyczy dives into the significance of a mind-body-spirit practice, explaining how yoga helps unlock physical sensations and emotions trapped within us. She emphasizes the importance of mindfulness in both yoga and recovery, making a compelling case for skeptics who might be wary of traditional 12-step programs.
Kyczy also sheds light on her innovative programs, Y12SR (Yoga of 12-Step Recovery) and SOAR (Success Over Addiction Relapse), aimed at helping both students and yoga instructors incorporate these practices into their lives. With an optimistic outlook on the future, she believes that yoga will play an increasingly transformative role in addiction recovery over the next few years.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about how yoga can aid in the recovery process, offering not just physical benefits but emotional healing as well.
