Our Yoga for Recovery and Behavioral Health Programs complement existing therapies by offering an evidenced-based, trauma-sensitive, mind/body approach incorporating physical practice, mindfulness philosophy and practical application of gentle yoga stretch.
Complementing treatment, our programs are carefully designed to provide a supportive and welcoming group class that aligns with traditional and holistic recovery treatment approaches through trauma-sensitive mindfulness-based movement, breath-work, and meditation.
We encourage participants to recognize recovery as a shift in perspective using yoga and mediation as a tool to support their life-long journey.
Our skilled instructors facilitate a practice creating safety in a group setting in order to explore their own physical body and mind.
