RECOVERY YOGA
"Yoga with Brian H. is an incredibly vital part of my program and adds an experiential component which allows me physical as well as spiritual recovery." - David R. (44 days sober)
“Brian Hyman's Yoga has been the foundation of my recovery. I am almost at a year of sobriety. During those rough months of wanting to use, the thing that kept me sober is knowing that I had my magical Recovery Yoga meeting next Tuesday. I might have been shaking, crying, screaming, pacing, and obsessing before yoga. But after, all I can think of or feel is peace, serenity, and wonder of life. Recovery Yoga ROCKS!’ – Brianna O.
“Brian's yoga sessions have such a unique way of calming the clutter of your mind and paralleling yoga poses with a guided meditation. I feel at peace and centered after each class. It has become an integral component in my sobriety!” - Jyll K.
"Brian took me on a physical and spiritual journey in our yoga sessions. In our recovery specific session he explains how the steps of recovery are physically embodied in each yoga pose we did. I walked away feeling so centered and more connected to my Higher Power - thanks Brian!" - Anthony R.
“After being sober for six months, I started to experience a bit of a depression and couldn’t get outside of my head. When I went to Brian’s yoga class, he taught me how to breathe and to be present at the moment, which allows me to experience life in the moment and appreciate the good things it has to offer. I found his patience, non-judgment, and technique invaluable whether you’re a beginner (like me) or advanced (a friend of mine, who attended his class with me). Thank you Brian for being a gifted instructor who also puts a person in touch with the spiritual side of life, along with allowing their body to be in sync with their mind.” - Mark L.
"Brian's teachings recover and restore us to our higher powers and supercharge our programs in subtle and manifold ways. Grateful." - Hans L.
"Recovery Yoga has added another level of serenity to my sobriety. I was a believer from day one. It creates an energy that is indescribable, and I will continue to make it a regular practice in my new and sober life!!!” – Matt S.
“I love Recovery Yoga. Brian is a great instructor and allows a safe environment for gaining a deeper perspective on my mind, body, and soul. Such a great class!” – Pia
“Brian's yoga class is great. His breath and movement work is perfect for helping me to be in the moment and clear away any negativity. I really love the way he incorporates the principles of the 12 Steps with the movements for sun salutation.” – Ayanna D.
“Recovery Yoga has been one of the great discoveries and pleasures of my program life. Not only do I look forward to it, but I always walk away feeling better than when I arrived. The way Brian seamlessly combines the Steps with traditional yoga poses has not only helped me to appreciate both in a new way, but also to understand that it is possible to integrate the principles of the program into other areas of my life - and that they can, in fact, complement each other. His unique approach and guidance turn each class into a physical, emotional, and spiritual 12-Step meeting that I haven't experienced anywhere else.” – Monica M.
“What an exhilarating feeling to stretch your mind and body simultaneously. Brian's yoga class encourages and develops this practice. I always leave class feeling spiritually and physically uplifted.” - Beverly S.
“Brian’s class and leadership is very special to me and is always something I recommend in meetings or to people looking to supplement their program. I truly believe that yoga has been a strong component of my recovery. When I found Brian's yoga class, I fell in love with it immediately. The way he weaved spirituality throughout the different postures took my spirit to another level. I felt more connected to my higher power than ever. The sharing after practice is also intimate and special in a way different to most meetings. We've all just moved through 45 minutes of our recovery together, physically and spiritually. It brings people together and allows us to open up in a way that is very honest and sincere. Its hard to put into words what it is about yoga that makes it such a great supplement to any recovery program but I would recommend it to absolutely anyone.” – Carolina P.
“You are a great motivator and I like being in your presence...you have a gift.” – Eileen K.
“I'm very resistant to yoga and yours is the only class I've been able to enjoy.” – Molly D.
