Looking to learn mindfulness practices and yoga for recovery?
Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices teach people in recovery practical skills to reduce stress, manage emotions, and develop focused self-awareness.
Mindfulness – which includes yoga and meditation – asks you to slow down and pay attention to the world as it is, without judgment. You observe and accept. It asks you to become aware of your body and your physical sensations – also without judgment.
You observe and accept your body as it is in the moment – not as it was when you were younger, not as it will be next month, but in the moment. It asks you to become aware of your thoughts – not as they once were, not as you wish them to be, but as they are in the moment.
Mindfulness practices reconnect you to your mind, body, and spirit in a kind, thoughtful, and gentle way that fosters compassion and understanding.

All you need is time and a little space. The same is true for meditation and mindful breathing exercises. Once you know them, they’re there for you – and they can help you manage stress and navigate difficult emotions for your entire recovery journey.
