1. Can Yoga Help You Stay Sober?
There are many parallels between the goals of yoga and the goals of the Twelve
Step process of staying sober from alcohol and/or drugs. This makes yoga a
fun, interactive activity that helps you in your process of staying sober.
 Yoga promotes self-acceptance. Learning to love and accept yourself, with
all your good and bad points, is a vital part of the journey of staying
sober.
 Yoga teaches you the importance of staying in the moment. When past
traumas and memories or dreams of the future keep you from staying
present in the moment, staying sober can be close to impossible.
 Mindfulness is an integral part of any yoga practice. The Big Book for
Twelve Steps promises that anyone can be successful at staying sober if
they practice “rigorous honesty”. That’s precisely what mindfulness is:
being honest with yourself about the impact your actions make and
therefore becoming careful about how to watch your actions.
 Yoga promotes a healthy body image, which is something many people
who have issues staying sober struggle with.
