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. \n\n\n\nModule 2: A Model for Healing (July 9) \n\n\n\nIn 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. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIn this course students will: \n\n\n\n\nLearn how the essential teachings of yoga can be applied to the root cause of addiction and the process of healing.\n\n\n\nBe introduced to a framework for relapse prevention that includes cognitive approaches and trauma-informed mind/body-based practices.\n\n\n\nEngage the yogic view of how we transform dis-functional patterns.\n\n\n\nUnderstand how ‘the issues live in our tissues.’\n\n\n\nApply practical tools to support yourself and others in recovery.\n\n\n\n\nRegister now…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn accomplished speaker and teacher\, Nikki Myers is an MBA\, E-RYT 500\, Yoga Therapist\, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner\, Addictions Recovery Specialist\, and Ayurvedic Specialist.
