A Way From Darkness: Yoga As a Key To Lasting Recovery, With Taylor Hunt
As Taylor Hunt headed into his sixth month of sobriety, he wasn’t only uninterested in yoga, he thought it was for old ladies and people who like Jazzercise.

On the advice of his sponsor, Taylor prayed for an understanding of how he should meditate. That’s when a woman he’d never met before approached him and said that she was supposed to teach him yoga. Not seeing the connection between the practice and the meditation he was seeking, he rejected the offer – five times.
