A Way From Darkness: Yoga As a Key To Lasting Recovery, With Taylor Hunt


Listen Later

ABOUT THE EPISODE:
So many of us go through life feeling we’re missing something important – an idea or practice that will help mold us into our best selves. It’s possible to go our entire lives without even knowing what we’re looking for. But sometimes, the universe seems to put exactly what we need right before us.

My guest today, Taylor Hunt, was only months sober when he began praying about that missing piece. And when it was finally offered to him (in a most unusual way), he rejected it over and over again. On today’s episode, Taylor tells us the incredible story of how he finally came to accept the practice that would save his life and give purpose to hundreds of others in recovery: Ashtanga yoga.

Taylor has been in recovery for 17 years now, but when he first began yoga, he was only a few months sober, desperately trying to build a healthy life. Since then, he has become a lifelong advocate of the benefits of the practice, especially for those in recovery. 

On this episode, we discuss:

  • The almost supernatural way yoga found its way into his life
  • The common problem yoga can relieve for young people struggling with anxiety and substance misuse
  • The positive domino effect of consistent yoga practice
  • Yoga’s role in the lives of parents with kids misusing substances
