Understanding Yoga for Addiction Recovery

Yoga, an ancient Hindu practice, aims to unite the body, mind, and spirit through various poses or asanas. It is more than just a series of physical postures; it involves focused mental concentration and spiritual practice. The philosophy of Ashtanga yoga emphasizes moral principles, self-awareness, and mental focus through its eight pillars.

Healing Environment for Professionals

Being in an atmosphere with other professionals in recovery fosters supportive relationships and a deeper understanding of shared struggles. Our evidence-based and holistic addiction treatments, including one-on-one behavioral therapy, hypnotherapy, and customized fitness and nutrition plans, are tailored to suit your specific needs.

Goal-Oriented and Track-Focused Recovery

Our Professionals Program provides a goal-oriented approach to bring you back up to speed quickly without daily distractions. You will have the privilege to participate in a limited amount of remote work, allowing you to continue growing as a professional while focusing on your rehabilitation.

Types of Yoga

  • Karma Yoga: Performed for the benefit of others, giving up one's interests.

  • Hatha Yoga: The most common type, focusing on physical postures.

  • Jnana Yoga: Uses meditation to cultivate wisdom and self-awareness.

  • Bikram Yoga: Comprises 26 challenging positions and two breathing exercises.

  • Bhakti Yoga: Spiritually oriented with devotion, prayer, singing, and dancing.

Combining the physical and mental activities in these styles of yoga has the most positive effects on the body, mind, and emotions. Yoga is also considered a spiritual practice, promoting a relaxed mental state beneficial for addiction recovery.

Benefits of Yoga in Addiction Recovery

Promotes Natural Regeneration:

Yoga encourages the body's natural ability to heal itself, enhancing the capacity to fight off illness and recover from harm. It increases the range of motion by working on muscles and tendons and has been shown to improve sleep quality and overall well-being.

Inhibits Anxiety:

People who suffer from anxiety often turn to yoga to relieve their symptoms. Studies show that yoga can significantly alleviate stress, with more than half of those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) showing reduced anxiety after practicing yoga for several weeks.

Promotes Healthful Eating Habits:

Yoga encourages mindful eating behaviors, helping to regulate blood sugar, treat eating disorders, and improve weight loss.

Enhances Cardiac Health:

Yoga reduces risk factors for heart complications and cardiovascular disease by lowering stress. Studies indicate that individuals with heart disease who incorporate yoga into their lifestyle experience significant drops in total cholesterol and, in some cases, reversal of heart disease progression.

Lessens Depression:

Yoga has become popular as a complementary therapy for depression, stress, and other mood disorders due to its ability to induce relaxation and a positive attitude. Specific types of yoga, such as SKY, are designed to help individuals overcome addictive behaviors, resulting in decreased symptoms of depression and cortisol levels after a few weeks.
