Yoga In Recovery

SURRENDER. EMPOWER. THRIVE.

Hi my name is Lila, I’m a recovering addict/alcoholic and a Yoga teacher. I have been practicing yoga since 1999, and teaching since I got sober in 2008. Because yoga is such an enormous part of my solution in recovery, I am dedicated to sharing it with newly sober addicts/alcoholics. I started and facilitate an 11th step yoga class twice a week in downtown Santa Monica and have experience working with fellow addicts/alcoholics in a recovery setting, both in treatment houses and in PHP/IOP programs.

The purpose of Yoga in Recovery is to enhance the joyous adventure of recovery from alcoholism by opening the body up to grace, peace, contentment and power. This is done through a format that combines physical mediation (yoga postures and principles); guided meditation & breath work as a means to focus on themes of recovery within traditional 12 Step Programs.

Yoga in Recovery was created by a recovering addict/alcoholic for recovering addict/alcoholics. This is an experience of serenity, empowerment and calm. Its mission is to bring about a deeper more physically rooted—even cellular, contented recovery. The idea is that addicts and alcoholics in recovery are NOT broken, but are broken open to their greatness. There is no trauma too severe that we can’t address and work through. 

Let me guide your clients into a place where not only can they survive the disease of addiction/alcoholism, but thrive in the community of recovery as well as their own lives. We can help set you free.
