Why Is Yoga So Great for People in Recovery?

When you’re adjusting back into life now that you are sober after behavioral health treatment, it’s important to find activities that can help keep you healthy and active. Yoga is the type of activity that can help to calm your mind and lift your spirit while focusing on your physical health as well. This exercise forces you to slow down, listen to the instructor, and adjust your body to a certain position that can help your body to gain strength that you may not have known you had.
