These FREE classes offer a safe and supportive environment for anyone exploring how to navigate addictive tendencies, those who are "sober curious," or individuals in recovery from addiction. We aim to enhance overall well-being and quality of life, regardless of where you are on your journey.

During these classes, you will be offered:

Compassionate discussion on the deeper causes and patterns of addictive habits.
Gentle, body-centered movement, breathwork, and meditation practices to support self-regulation and inner peace.
Practical tools to be used in everyday life that will empower you on your path of healing and self-discovery.
Classes are open to anyone seeking to address their addictive habits or explore a sober-curious lifestyle, whether you are relatively new to the paths of yoga and recovery, or have extensive experience in both.
