#112: Brian Hyman (he/him) is a certified yoga and meditation teacher, author, and father. Brian has been sober since 2009 and has been working at a prominent treatment center in Malibu, California since 2012. Yoga has played an instrumental role in his personal recovery journey. Nine months into sobriety yoga flowed into his professional life as Brian started teaching yoga so other folks in recovery could access its transformative effects. Check out the episode and hear Brian's story, including:
- His experience on the yoga mat in early sobriety where he found that recovery was more than putting down the substance: it was a way of living and connecting.
- The progression from discovering yoga to becoming a teacher at a treatment center, and how this mirrors Liz's own experiences.
- Trusting that we are all worthy of redemption and healing, and that if recovery is available to everyone then it is available to me too.
- Borrowing ideas from other folks in recovery and weaving them into the "patchwork quilt of our lives."
