IYFAR classes include basic yoga postures and breathing techniques, and incorporate ancient yoga and 12-step philosophies into a physical and spiritual practice that is accessible to all people drawn to explore spiritual recovery from addiction to substances and behaviors. No previous yoga experience is required; no need to be “in recovery” to attend. Classes are suitable for all ages and abilities.
In 2011, a few months after I got sober, I starting teaching yoga for people like me – addicts trying to recover. My own experience in recovery is that the spiritual practice of yoga helps purify the body and release the mind, helping to establish a new life of stability and purpose. Anything is possible.
Free, but donations are gratefully accepted as a way to help cover expenses and make it possible to continue offering community classes. Thank you!
