"There is something that's deep in the tissues that you can't get from a sitting down position, from a static position. It's an amazing transformative experience with practical applications and where you actually can release a lot of the negativity and the toxins through these practices."
Kyczy Hawk's story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of yoga in the journey from addiction to recovery. Growing up in the counter-culture, drug-infused scene of 1960s San Francisco, Kyczy fell into the grips of alcoholism and heroin addiction. Her life spiraled into chaos, leading her to a point where she had almost no dignity left. However, a thread of hope brought her to Alcoholics Anonymous, where she began her path to sobriety.
But the road wasn't easy; fourteen years into her recovery, Kyczy found herself overworked and teetering on the edge of relapse. That's when she discovered yoga—a practice that would take her healing to new levels. In this episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, hosted by Omar Pinto, Kyczy shares how yoga helped her not only maintain sobriety but also embrace self-love and self-discovery.
She talks about weaving together the philosophies of yoga and the 12-step program in her book, 'Yoga and the Twelve-Step Path', and how these practices can complement each other to support long-term recovery. Kyczy's journey highlights the importance of setting boundaries, releasing negativity, and building a supportive community. Whether you're new to recovery or looking for ways to deepen your healing, Kyczy's story offers valuable insights and practical tips.
