Healthy Living in Recovery_ Best Yoga Studios in Fort Lauderdale for People in Recovery

Yoga is a total body workout, providing benefits to your mind, body, and spirit.  Finding something you enjoy that fuels your spirit is so important to a lasting and healthy recovery.  

How Meditation Benefits Addiction Treatment and Recovery

Attending yoga classes at a yoga studio can provide a welcoming sense of community with like-minded people who can be a source of support for you during recovery.  This can also give you the motivation you need to stay committed to the practice by having people count on you being there.  Yoga teaches total wellness so you can build on what you have learned in rehab while improving your overall health and wellbeing.  Having a routine and something to look forward to can also keep you invested in your treatment and recovery.

Physical Benefits of Yoga in Addiction Treatment 

In addition to being incredibly relaxing, yoga provides many physical benefits, including:

  • Improved circulation.  Stretching your muscles raises your body temperature and allows blood to flow more freely through the body.  This can also promote healthy skin and cell renewal.
  • It can lower your blood pressure.  Studies have shown that 12 weeks of daily yoga decreased participants’ blood pressure, especially when combined with a healthy diet.
  • The stretching involved in yoga will improve flexibility.
  • Yoga is often used as part of a pain management plan to help decrease chronic pain.
  • Improves overall immunity.
  • Consistent yoga practice can decrease your need for prescription medications such as antidepressants, blood pressure medications, painkillers, and medications that treat anxiety.

Mental and Emotional Benefits of Yoga in Addiction Treatment

Yoga’s benefits extend beyond making you feel physically healthy, it also provides mental and emotional benefits, such as:

  • It can improve your confidence and self-esteem.  Practicing different poses and eventually mastering them will leave you feeling more confident and accomplished.
  • Yoga releases endorphins, chemicals in the brain that promote the feeling of euphoria, which will make you feel happier.
  • It provides a sense of community.
  • It can help decrease anxiety.
