We understand that starting therapy can bring up many questions. To help you feel more comfortable and prepared, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common inquiries about our therapy sessions at Radix Recovery. If you have any additional questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.
How is Yoga Therapy different from regular yoga classes?
Yoga Therapy is specifically designed with therapeutic goals related to recovery and mental health, unlike regular yoga classes that focus primarily on fitness. Sessions are led by instructors trained in trauma-informed approaches and addiction recovery principles. Each practice is intentionally structured to address emotional regulation, stress management, and healing rather than physical achievement.
How often should I practice Yoga Therapy to see benefits?
Most clients experience benefits from attending Yoga Therapy sessions 2-3 times per week while in treatment. Consistency is more important than intensity, and even short, regular practice can yield significant improvements in well-being. Many clients also find that incorporating brief daily practices (even 5-10 minutes) between sessions enhances their recovery journey.
Will Yoga Therapy interfere with my medications or other treatments?
Yoga Therapy is designed to complement, not replace or interfere with, medication and other treatment approaches. Our instructors are informed about recovery needs and create safe practices accordingly. Always inform your treatment team about any concerns, and they can help adjust your Yoga Therapy practice to work harmoniously with your overall treatment plan.
What if I have physical limitations or disabilities?
Yoga Therapy at Radix Recovery is adaptable to all physical abilities and limitations. Our instructors are trained to offer modifications and alternatives for every practice, ensuring everyone can participate meaningfully. Chair yoga, breath-focused practices, and guided meditation are all effective options that can be tailored to your specific needs and capabilities.
Can I continue Yoga Therapy after completing my treatment program?
Absolutely, continuing Yoga Therapy after treatment is highly encouraged as part of your ongoing recovery maintenance. Many graduates of our programs report that maintaining their yoga practice significantly supports their long-term recovery success.
