Life is Sweet

Are you struggling with unhealthy habits you wish you could change but don’t know how? There is a solution. Replace limiting behaviors, thought patterns, self-sabotaging and addictive tendencies with the practices of Yoga of Recovery.

Our sense desires can be distracting and cause disruption, with cravings leading us to cross-addictions, relapse, or aggravation of chronic disease conditions. Resourcing ourselves with practical Ayurveda, we can learn to creatively channel our senses through sweet, self-soothing, constructive sense therapies. Discover a Sense-able recovery pathway which offers us practices that are supportive rather than destructive, helping us to calm the mind and soothe the body.

Sense therapies can help us reduce stress, promote relaxation and resilience, and cultivate a sense of sweetness and pleasure in our life. Life is Sweet encourages us to explore our sense-based awareness and find ways to connect with the 5 elements, our senses and how we receive and express ourselves in the world.

This five day retreat is based on the 6 Tenets of Yoga of Recovery, specifically the 4th Tenet – Life is Sweet.

Prerequisites:
Open to all. We suggest at least three months of continuous sobriety for AUD/SUD guests, as we are not a medical/detox facility (if this is the level of care you need please seek appropriate help immediately). Please contact us if you feel able to attend in your early sobriety—we’d like to ensure that the retreat is the best option for you. Those with eating disorders or behavioral addictions (relationships, gambling, spending, etc.) should have enough stability to embark on this work.

Other:
Please note there will be a Yoga of Recovery Symposium titled Moving Beyond Addiction from May 5-9, 2025 Just prior to this program. We invite you to extend your stay for this transformative Yoga Vacation Program.
