Addiction, Recovery and Bikram Yoga with Jeanne Heaton

The Growing Up Chaotic Show

"I am absolutely living proof, that no matter how badly you mess up your life - there is always a way back." Jeanne Heaton. In today’s episode, we are talking all things addiction, recovery and Bikram Yoga with Bikram Yoga instructor and recovering addict, Jeanne Heaton. Jeanne's journey to Bikram Yoga began with a deep realization that if she were to save her life she would need to change it, entirely. In the 80's, as an aspiring actress, Jeanne arrived in NYC in search of fame and fortune but instead she found drugs and alcohol. After hitting bottom, she checked herself into a long-term residential rehab and detox facility. But when she re-entered the real world, the physical damage to her body was taking its toll and that's when her friend bought her a 30-day Bikram Yoga introductory package. Bikram Yoga turned out to be the missing puzzle piece to her recovery. Today, her mission is to teach all people, especially recovering drug addicts, that no matter how bad you think it is, it's never too late to start from scratch, one posture at a time. In addition to all that Jeanne has accomplished personally, professionally her recovery journey has inspired her to become an Ambassador for PUREAction's - One Posture At A Time Project.
