Healing Through Yoga: Cindee Rifkin's Path from Addiction to Recovery

Yoga for me is the undoing of the things that I've done.
Ever thought yoga could be more than just a way to stay fit? In this episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, Omar Pinto sits down with Cindee Rifkin, a yoga and meditation teacher whose life story is a testament to the transformative power of these practices. Cindee’s journey through addiction and sex addiction began with deep emotional pain and trauma, leading her to drugs and alcohol as temporary escapes.
But her life took a dramatic turn when she discovered yoga and meditation, tools that helped her reconnect with her true self and begin the healing process. Cindee's story isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding a holistic approach to healing that includes quieting the mind, strengthening the body, and connecting with the universe. She shares how daily routines involving prayer or meditation can set the tone for a purposeful day, offering relief from both emotional and physical pain.
This episode dives into the importance of establishing these routines, not just for those in recovery but for anyone seeking a more meaningful life. Cindee also emphasizes the significance of community and asking for help. She believes that while no one can take our power away, we often give it away by not reaching out. Her message is clear: by connecting with others on similar journeys, we find strength and support.
Throughout the conversation, she inspires listeners to reclaim control over their lives and strive for their true potential. Tune in to hear Cindee's empowering message and discover how yoga and meditation can be powerful allies in your recovery journey. Whether you're dealing with addiction or simply looking for ways to enhance your well-being, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
