Ep16: Yoga For Recovery + Essential Oils For Healing With Taryn Strong

Have you ever wondered what exactly is Yoga For Recovery or Trauma Informed Yoga? How does it differ from Bikram, Ashtanga, Power Yoga or Kundalini? Can yoga help you heal your mind, body and spirit as you walk away from drinking? How can releasing a traumatic experience from your body through yoga help you heal before illness, chronic fatigue, dis-ease, autoimmune disorders may manifest. And what about essential oils? How do they work and are they worth the hype? What’s the difference between all the different options? What’s the oil of a Buoyant Heart? The Inner Child? Energetic Boundaries? Sexual Healing? Truth and Connection? Today we’re here to answer these questions and more with one of my favorite teachers in recovery, yoga and life: Taryn Strong, Taryn is a founder of the SHE RECOVERS Foundation - a global grassroots movement currently consisting of more than 300,000 women in or seeking recovery from substance use disorders, other behavioral health issues and/or life challenges.
