Tranquility Woods is a residential addiction treatment center with an emphasis on holistic healing. Yoga therapy has been shown to be very beneficial in helping our clients heal from the damage caused by drugs and alcohol, but it also helps them learn how to cope with life’s stresses without turning back to harmful substances. Yoga as part of our program offers many benefits that help us heal even after we leave Tranquility Woods!

For thousands of years, yoga has been used as a healing modality. Yoga is helpful for not only an individual’s physical strength and balance, but also for an individual’s mental and spiritual balance. Yoga is a great way to keep the body healthy and strong, as well as help with emotional stability. Yoga therapy can heal from addiction in many ways:

-Physical – yoga has been shown to decrease cortisol levels which are related to stress

-Mental – yoga helps us become more mindful by concentrating on our breath or a specific part of our body. This practice helps to elevate levels of concentration and focus.

-Spiritual – yoga is more than a physical practice, it helps us stay connected with our inner self.

It has been said “The first step to healing addiction starts in the body” Yoga offers many benefits that help us heal even after we leave Tranquility Woods!

Yoga is one of the many holistic techniques that Tranquility Woods uses to help our clients find and eliminate the trapped feelings and inner toxins that continue to prevent successful recovery.

It is important to create and maintain a healthy body in order to live a happy life – meditation, physical exercise such as yoga, and eating balanced meals all help us do this!

“Every thought, feeling, perception, or memory you have caused a modification or ripple in the mind ~ It distorts and colors the mental mirror. If you can retrain the mind from forming into modifications, there will be no distortion and you will experience your true self.”

-Swami Satchidananda

We believe that drugs and alcohol are not the root or cause of addiction ~ There is usually an underlying problem, that if not addressed, will cause success to be short-lived. We know that if we treat the whole person, success can be lifelong. We believe it is imperative to develop a personalized recovery plan for every client and to not take a “cookie-cutter approach.” By combining the best blend of techniques and determining what will be most effective for each individual, we believe our clients will be better positioned to live a healthy, successful life in recovery.
