Yoga & Meditation
Yoga is a broad group of ancient practices originating in India which aims to integrate and unite the body, mind and spirit. Though yoga includes both meditative practices and asanas (postures), it is the latter which is commonly described as ‘yoga’ in the West.
At The Sanctuary Byron Bay, both aspects of yoga are taught, that is, postural practices and meditation. Both are especially beneficial in addressing the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of recovery.
At The Sanctuary Byron Bay, our yoga practitioners are highly qualified and experienced with many years of teaching experience. Yoga sequences are created individually for each client as each constitution requires a different program. Our one-on-one teaching ensures that the practices are attuned to your own specific strengths and limitations. Over the course of your program, we will help you establish and develop a personal daily practice for the future.
The postures and breathing techniques we teach you will help to improve digestion, circulation and respiration, resulting in:
- better awareness of your body;
- deeper level of self awareness, that once experienced prevents a return to addictive behaviours;
- relief from depression, anxiety, and irritability; and
- a sense of calm within.
Testimonials
“….I am thankful that the Sanctuary provides an alcohol rehab centre and rehabilitation program in such a private and luxury setting. Working in a large corporate environment with constant stress lead me to become a daily drinker but it was not until I got to the Sanctuary that I was able to admit that not only was I an alcoholic, but I was addicted to prescription medication as well. Thankfully the Sanctuary provides a rehabilitation program that treated both my addiction to prescription medication (valium) and also my alcoholism. Thank you to all at the Sanctuary……” GK 65 years old
