Yoga is an incredibly potent method to relax the body and calm the mind. Techniques learned in a yoga class can benefit the student in all stages of recovery. Effective breathing can lead to conscious good choices, awareness of the body can lead to better control of feelings and responses. Together the breath and body awareness contribute to relaxation and, ultimately, to stress reduction and meditation.
