Yoga for Addictions and Alcoholism
Yoga for Addictions and Alcoholism

Sacramento, California (PRWEB) March 21, 2014 -- The course offered by the Yoga retreat provides a solid foundation in the principles of Yoga of Recovery. The certification program will be offered April 30 - May 9, 2014. For more information, visit http://sivanandabahamas.org/course.php?course_id=3917.

Combines Ayurveda and Yoga with traditional recovery tools to offer a more holistic approach to addiction and self-destructive behaviors. For those in counseling roles, the course offers additional tools and a comprehensive approach to wellness, emotional sobriety and sustained spiritual development using ayurveda and yoga as extension therapies to any 12-step work. This course is designed for yoga teachers and health professionals who work with people recovering from addiction, and for people with personal histories or family members with histories of addiction.

Topics of this course include:
Root causes of addiction
Addictive tendencies of the doshic types
The role of Prana in recovery (diet and exercise-Hatha Yoga)
Understanding the gunas
Our spiritual/psychological natures
Four paths of Yoga for those in recovery
Raja Yoga and the 12 steps
Ayurvedic nutrition
The importance of proper daily and seasonal routines
Key recovery tools satsang support - fellowship
Ayurvedic counseling profiles
Detoxification and herbal therapies

This course is open to anyone, but may be of particular interest to therapists, social workers, addiction counselors, sponsors, yoga teachers, Ayurvedic practitioners, health professionals dealing with people who are recovering from addiction, people with family members with addiction and/or histories of addiction. Upon completion of the course students will have the skills to introduce the healing potential of the holistic sciences of Ayurveda and Yoga into their own life and those around.

For those who are already yoga teachers, this course will make the student uniquely qualified and more confident to teach Yoga in rehabilitation centers or to people in recovery from any addiction. Students will fully understand the root of the problem and the holistic approach, extended from limited understanding of substance abuse/behavioral problems to be treated with asana alone, to a full range of therapies for mind, body and spirit from these powerful healing modalities.
