This framework, based on the theme, ‘The Issues Live in Our Tissues,’ presents a holistic relapse prevention model grounded in compassionate awareness, change, and healing.
Healing Addiction, A Yogic Perspective presents a framework for healing that integrates teachings, texts, and practices from yoga (non-postural), data from modern neuroscience studies, trauma healing, and current addiction treatment approaches.
Addiction is a problem that has plagued humanity for centuries. It’s been seen as a moral failing, a disease, or simply a way of life for those who struggle with it. But what if addiction was actually a result of the way we look at it?
That’s the perspective of yoga, which believes that the key to resolving any problem lies within the individual. By transforming our view of addiction, we can begin to heal it from within.
What if addiction could be healed by changing the way we see it?
45 million people worldwide are estimated to be suffering from addiction. Every 5 1/2 minutes, an overdose death causes someone to lose a loved one. What if there is something we are missing in our current approaches to treating this epidemic? This course applies the lens of yoga to the pervasive issue of addiction.
In this workshop, you'll gain an insight into how yoga's timeless teachings & practices can support people in healing addiction.

Course Outline
MODULE 1:
Broadening The View of Addiction
Most often when we hear the word addiction, thoughts instantly turn toward abuse of a substance. However, as we look more deeply we see that many are affected by behavioral or process addictions. Research has found that there are stark similarities between substance addiction and the psychological dependence to activities like compulsive gambling, sex, work, shopping, and eating disorders. As we expand our view, we see that addiction really isn’t about the substance or even the addictive behavior at all. In this module, we examine the underlying problem of addiction and introduce the solution from the view of yoga.
MODULE 2:
A Model for Healing
In Module 2 we will explore the yogic model for healing proposed in the Yoga Sūtras and the Upaniṣads. Here we look at a framework for relapse prevention that includes practical tools for cultivating sustainable recovery.

In this class we will look at the different ways in which trauma can make itself known. We will learn how symptoms of imbalance such as addiction and eating disorders offer information about deeper patterns that can be responses to unrecognized trauma. We will learn how to recognize the keys to healing that lie at the heart of even the most difficult kinds of presentations.
Being in the “Power of Now” is skillfully accomplished with breath techniques offered in the Yogic, Tibetan Buddhist and Zen traditions.
