Life is Prana – practices for vitality to overcome our ‘addictiveness’ with Chandika
Sunday, August 13 @ 2:00 pm - Friday, August 18 @ 12:00 pm EDT
Cost: $95 + Accommodations
Struggling with unhealthy habits you wish you could change but don’t know how? There is a solution. Replace limiting behaviors, thought patterns, self-sabotage and addictive tendencies with the practices of Yoga of Recovery. Together we will discover how specific practices can help remedy naturally occurring disturbances in prana (energy) that leave us feeling tired, wired, in pain or stressed out. We’ll learn some short, simple practices to manage our feeling states and allow us to feel vital and alive without having to resort to external sources for stimulation, sedation etc. This five day retreat is based on Yoga of Recovery’s Life is Prana teachings.

Open to all. We suggest at least three months of continuous sobriety for AUD/SUD guests, as we are not a medical/detox facility (if this is the level of care you need please seek appropriate help immediately). Please contact us if you feel able to attend in your early sobriety—we’d like to ensure that the retreat is the best option for you. Those with eating disorders or behavioral addictions (relationships, gambling, spending, etc.) should have enough stability to embark on this work.
