YOGABLE -
A Gentle Approach to Yoga for Special Populations.
This book delivers yoga accessibility for all people.
Yoga has become popular because it has what we need, a way to handle the pressure of life well while keeping our health and sanity. But what if I am not young, beautiful and flexible like those I see in magazines? Do my special needs leave me and my kids out of yoga’s benefits? Not anymore! With Yogable, Patty has created a remarkable guide to the practices and attitudes that give the rest of us access to the pleasures of using our body whatever our condition. Her expertise as a special needs mother and yoga teacher is shared now in this gift that will change the way we see ourselves and differently-abled people. That is, with more loving-kindness.

YOGA FOR ADDICTION RECOVERY -
8 Limbs, 10 Bodies, 12 Steps
UPLAND, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 27, 2023
In “Yoga for Addiction Recovery: 8 Limbs, 10 Bodies, 12 Steps,” author Patty Wildasinn has paired her journey in addiction recovery with 20 years of yoga instruction in a memoir and self-help book that seamlessly shares how yoga and the 12 Steps come together to benefit those in recovery.
Motivated by her own experiences, “Yoga for Addiction Recovery” is both personal and practical, filled with Wildasinn’s self-disclosure and real-life applications of the 12 Steps and yoga. Wildasinn explains addiction, yoga and the 12 Steps in a way that is easy for readers to understand, and identifies the spiritual ties that bind together yoga and recovery steps.
“I found early in my practice that the principles of yoga are the same as 12 Step recovery; they just weave together in a cohesive way,” said Wildasinn.
In addition to teaching yoga, she spent more than three decades as a nationally certified addiction counselor, following her own experience as a drug addict. Her goal with her book is to provide a guide that helps people move emotion and energy through the body.
“For people who are in recovery, there may be something tangible they can do to interrupt the negative thought process,” said Wildasinn. “I want people to know they are not alone, and there are solutions to internal turmoil and stress.”
A companion soundtrack of mantra and music, titled 8 Limbs, 10 Bodies, 12 Steps: Yoga for Addiction Recovery, by Jap Dharam Rose is available on all popular streaming platforms.

“We are asked to be willing. We begin to realize that our behavior is a reflection of ourselves, not others, and move beyond our ordinary distractions and reactions.” -Exceprt from Yoga for Addiction Recovery
“A yoga practice is not about perfecting posture, looking good, or performing the "right" meditation. The practice is about the experience of connecting to and using body, mind, and spirit together. It's about being and embracing who you are and not comparing your insides to other people's outsides. This book is a guide to a practical approach to practice for all levels and abilities.” -Excerpt from Yogable
