Summary of the Yoga Program:
The yoga course that we offer is an innovative yoga and meditation-based recovery program
called Beyond Addiction: The Yogic Path to Recovery. This program was designed by
naturopathic doctor and Kundalini Yoga expert Sat Dharam Kaur ND in collaboration with
addiction specialist and renown author Dr. Gabor Mate (In the Real of Hungry Ghosts,
When The Body Says No)
The Beyond Addiction program provides a comprehensive solution that addresses many
facets of addiction. It includes yogic, dietary ad nutritional guidelines to balance
brain chemistry and glandular function; yoga and meditation practices to cultivate
relaxation, joy, awareness, concentration, mood stabilization, flexibility, spiritual
awakening and inner strength; and a safe, loving group environment to support personal
healing and transformation.
Kundalini Yoga is a dynamic system combining breathing, movement, stretching,
postures, mudras (hand gestures), eye focus, the use of sacred sounds and rhythm,
relaxation and meditation. It provides an antidote to the stress response. The
Kundalini refers to the flow of energy and consciousness that exists within each of us.
The Beyond Addiction program has been implemented annually since 2008 in yoga studios,
community centres and recovery centres in Canada. Previous graduates of the program
from all walks of life have been successful in reducing or elimination substance abuse
and addictive behaviours.The program is designed to ameliorate all types of addictions
including overeating, shopping, sexual addictions, alcoholism, smoking, drug abuse, TV
and Internet addiction, gambling, and unhealthy habits.
Preliminary research supports the effectiveness of yoga and meditation practice in
addiction recovery with the following results:
· Improvement in psychological behaviours and symptoms

· Reduction in cravings and anxiety
· Decrease in depressive symptoms
· Decrease in smoking
· Reduction in behaviour related to eating disorders
