No you cant I just tried!

just out of intrest do you have an addiction problem or do you just really really like yoga and think it will help people to overcome their addictions?

is this how you got clean and sober, I suspect it isn't. sorry if i've misinterpreted your post maybe it was just put up to use with other things?

I cant imagine anyone would be so irresponsible as to suggest someone with a crack habit or who is dying from alcoholism should just turn up at their local yoga class!

server seems to be down. you will have to wait and try again.
Please see video, its all there ( the information)

there's a problem with the server. I will upload again and post the link.

Dont rush to get it back up, I can live without yoga.

I'm quite interested - let me know when the server problems are resolved Sumital.

Danyabad.

Shanti,

There is a super strong link in tenth step work and yoga, It is learning how to sit still and shut up, working on quieting the mind.
Living life on God's terms and working on this stuff has major rewards.

I've not tried yoga in conjunction with 11th step work, but I know plenty who practice a program of recovery that do. I'd be interested in seeing the video myself, as I know yoga, in conjunction with a program of recovery, has helped others. For me to completely dismiss it would probably be contempt prior to investigation and that would be a bar to my spiritual growth.

Yoga would help spiritual growth as well one would think... like Timmie69 said ... (quiets the mind) for me by body can feel like its jumping off the chair even though i am still sitting down lol then we have the brain that keeps thinking, thinking and thinking .... so yoga and attending meetings is all good.... it won't hurt you, if anythng it's more soothing to the mind, body and soul...

I would probably complecate the crap out of this stuff and get even more head problems going on! I'm sticking to the 12 Steps. (o;

One day I might figure out more as I grow, but today, I'm keeping it simple! I gotta! lol

I'd just like to thank the people who weren't negative about this post!

Yoga's a wonderful tool for meditation!

Mycool, clean 23 years, sober 81 daze. Attend AA f2f, online, therapy, spiritual practice, whatever it takes me to remain sober, my greatest gift to myself.

the Buddha (just a man like you and me, unless you're a women) urged people not to blindly follow traditions, opinions, speculation, or the authority of religious texts but to see and know for ourselves what was Trueand, when we do, to take it up. He also urged us to see and know for ourselves what is harmful and divisive --and to give that up. The emphasis is always on seeing and knowing, not on thinking, calculating, and believing.

Sumital, thank you so much for posting this. I am looking forward to seeing the video when it does work.

I go to a yoga class almost every day and it has been wonderful to relax and meditate. It is a huge help for me in not drinking. I often used to drink because of anxiety and being able to do yoga instead really helps get rid of the anxiety.

namaste! :)

I owe you an apology sumital, I posted what was a negative post on here, I'm sure your heart is in the right place and I apologise for my rash posting, good luck in your recovery, all the best, blues!

I'll watch it...I need to learn how to relax!

My friend & I signed up for a yoga class about 3 years ago...

So our first class, we leave work, stop by her house to change clothes right? We simply must have a cocktail before our class. So we have one, take a 2nd with us. Couldn't wait for the class to be over so we could go have more cocktails.

Did this 2 or 3 times, met at her house with the intentions of going to our yoga class, then said screw it and just had the cocktails! Sad sad! :)
