Finding Peace: Kyczy Hawk's Path from Addiction to Healing Through Yoga
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.
Picture this: the chaotic streets of 1960s San Francisco, a city teeming with counter-culture and drug experimentation. This was the world Kyczy Hawk found herself in, spiraling into alcoholism and heroin addiction. But even in the darkest moments, a tiny spark of dignity led her to Alcoholics Anonymous, where she began her journey to sobriety. Fast forward fourteen years, and Kyczy faced another challenge—overwork and the looming threat of relapse.
Enter yoga, a practice that not only helped her stay sober but transformed her entire approach to life. In this episode of 'The Recovery Revolution', Kyczy shares how yoga became her sanctuary, intertwining it with the twelve-step program to create a holistic path to recovery. She dives into the importance of setting boundaries, practicing self-care, and nurturing self-love. If you’re new to recovery or looking for ways to deepen your journey, Kyczy’s story offers invaluable insights and practical advice.
