Yoga & Meditation
Yoga is a broad group of ancient practices originating in India, which aims to integrate and unite the body, mind, and spirit. Though yoga includes both meditative practices and asana (postures), it is the latter which is commonly described as 'yoga' in the West.At A Center for Addiction Recovery, both aspects of yoga are taught, that is--postural practices and meditation. Both are especially beneficial in addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of recovery.
