*The connections between yoga and 12-step recovery programs are profound and multifaceted, rooted in their shared emphasis on holistic healing and spiritual growth. Both disciplines recognize the importance of self-awareness, acceptance, and mindfulness in the journey towards recovery. Yoga offers physical practices, such as asanas (poses) and pranayama (breathwork), that cultivate body-mind integration and promote inner balance—qualities essential for individuals navigating the challenges of addiction recovery. Similarly, the 12-step approach provides a structured framework for individuals to address addiction, offering spiritual principles, fellowship, and support. Many find that the meditative aspects of yoga complement the spiritual foundation of 12-step programs, fostering a deeper connection to oneself and a higher power. Through regular practice, individuals in recovery often discover increased resilience, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of purpose, illuminating the powerful synergy between yoga and the journey of recovery, moving closer to wholeness and balance.
