Heal drug and alcohol addiction using yoga
Picture this: a dimly lit room with cozy blankets spread throughout. A diffuser slowly spreads a light peppermint scent. It’s a calming room where people come to relax, focus on their breathing, and open the mind.
This is what many of the yoga rooms within RCA’s facilities look like. The power of yoga in recovery is undeniable- which is why yoga is offered at many RCA sites.

A focus on wellness
Yoga is an integral part of the focus on wellness at RCA facilities. Practicing yoga while in addiction treatment can help naturally balance your body and mind. On top of the physical benefits, yoga fosters emotional benefits, too. When you practice yoga, you’re more aware of what’s going on with your body and your breathing – all essential for staying strong in recovery.
Yoga may increase energy levels, encourage healthy eating habits, and even help with sleep that may be interrupted by withdrawal symptoms. When you feel better physically, you’re able to better handle stress or challenges that could otherwise put a bump in your recovery.
“I start every class by reading the group to see how each person is feeling,” says RCA at Devon yoga instructor Amanda Hershey. “We’re getting into the mind, starting with the breath. We aren’t leaving enough space for the brain to focus on chaos.”
“Thank you so much for all you’ve done for me. I’m committed to making yoga an essential part of my recovery journey. Knowing I had yoga during the day gave me much excitement. I’ll never forget the gift of inner peace you gave me.” – Former patient
