In this episode, I talk with the Swiss yoga teacher Elisa Malinverni about her wonderful new book, Yoga for Recovering Addicts, Stories of Hope and Ways of Self-Healing. Elisa’s clear and nuanced writing explores an integral path to recovery for all manner of addiction.

“In my book, we’re all addicts. The only difference is, some of us have addictions that society labels as strengths and advantages, such as workaholism, fitness-addiction or orthorexia. Some of us weren’t as lucky and ended up with a coping mechanism that society demonizes. The stigma only causes more pain that begs to be alleviated.” – Elisa Malinverni (Yoga for Recovering Addicts)
