Recovery Yoga
Working to heal the hurts, habits & hang-ups in your life that contribute to addiction.
The characteristics and effects of addiction can easily be described as separation. Addictive behaviors disconnect us from ourselves, our loved ones, our environment and so much more.
Conversely, yoga itself means union, integration, balance. Yoga and its practices teach the fine art of balancing our multi-dimensional lives while living in a complex world.
Recovery Yoga follows the Y12SR program of “connecting the dots” between the ancient wisdom of yoga, the practical tools of 12-step programs, and the latest research on trauma healing and neurobiology. As part of a holistic recovery program, it works in tandem with traditional treatment to address the physical, mental and spiritual disease of addiction.

instructor Bio
Christy Sloan
BSN, RN + Life Coach
I support women along a journey of growth in personal freedom, self-love & acceptance while building healthy habits that last.
I got sober in 2009 joining a support group that changed my life! For the first time, I saw myself apart from my dysfunction and, more importantly, experienced hope to change.
Support, accountability, and learning new healthy habits were essential elements leading to meaningful change. Spiritual healing, cultivating gratitude, and forgiveness set my soul free.
Since then, I've become a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing & Health Coach. Sharing my restoration story, and the hope that comes with healing is my passion and purpose.
