Yoga works by calming the nervous system and helping the body relax. It also helps to improve breathing and increase focus and concentration. These benefits can be beneficial for people in recovery who may be struggling with anxiety and stress.

Kundalini yoga, specifically targeting the nervous system, is a form of yoga. The benefits of this type of yoga for anxiety and stress relief are numerous. It can help to calm and focus the mind, as well as to release tension from the body.

This type of yoga can also help to increase energy and stamina levels, which can be helpful for those of us recovering from addiction. Kundalini yoga can also help to improve sleep quality and to reduce stress levels.

3. Improves Sleep Quality

This is crucial for those of us who often struggle with insomnia and other sleep issues. I have personally struggled with insomnia since childhood. It is well-known that sleep plays a vital role in our overall health and well-being. For example, getting a good night’s sleep can help improve our mood, increase our energy levels, and boost our immune system.

As you know, sleep is kind of non-negotiable. We need it, and poor sleep quality can increase the risk of use and negatively impact our mental and physical health.

Yoga can help improve sleep quality in several ways. First, it can help reduce stress and anxiety, which I already mentioned, and it also helps to enhance the quality of sleep by promoting relaxation and improving sleep habits. Finally, it can help enhance sleep quality by reducing pain and improving overall health. More importantly, it can boost self-esteem and body image.

4. Improves Self-Esteem & Body Satisfaction

Self-esteem is often an issue for us because of the negative messages we have internalized about ourselves during our addictions. These messages can be about our worth as a person, our value in the world, and our ability to be successful in life. Yoga can help counter these messages by providing a space for us to reconnect with our bodies and breathe positively.

In a study published in the International Journal of Yoga Therapy, people who participated in yoga significantly increased self-esteem and body satisfaction, and I am ALL about this. We NEED this so badly. Anything that helps with one of our biggest commonalities, Self-loathing, and it definitely has helped with mine. Work in progress right here.

Mother earth Gaia

I am a tree-hugging worker of light, and I invite my fellow sober Starseeds & Lucid Lightworkers to support my mission by joining my online community. We need to save Mother Gaia, who has taken such good care of her people. We must now show her the same respect. This means EVERYTHING for our future and the future of our children and their children.

If you love the Earth as I love the Earth, this is a call to action. We can make small changes today that will lead to significant results later, but we must move fast and work together. Start making changes such as walking kids to school, carpooling, not flushing medications, conserving water, recycling, reducing, reusing, etc. We can do this. Help us save our home.
