The class that I teach is called Kundalini Yoga and the Tools for Recovery & Transformation, that is because I teach Kundalini Yoga and Meditation as a system of awareness and growth so that we can overcome life’s struggles and addictions to substances, people, unhealthy thought patterns. Addiction is a powerful force that binds and overwhelms so many of us. Rather than asking you if you are an addict, perhaps a more appropriate question is “what is it that you are addicted to?” What is creating an unhealthy balance in your life? I have to ask this question to myself each and every day, because I know that just because I have put down the bottle and the pipe does not mean that this disease, a shape shifter, won’t appear on a daily basis in the form of something or someone else. I won’t go into the possibilities, they are endless. The next question that I have to ask is “what am I doing about it?” In my class the focus is on the 3rd and the 11th Step, yet all of the Steps are points of discussion, as are the various remedies that are prescribed in many of the 12 Step programs. I teach Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, who brought this practice to the West because he saw how drugs, alcohol, and life itself was overwhelming us, and wanted to offer a transformative solution, and at the expense of everything that he had, he did. In program we learn to give our will and our lives over to our higher power, which can also mean, to our higher purpose.
