Introduction
Yoga
It is a therapy of the highest level of potency & accomplishment, perhaps even an instrument of transcendence. Therapy is, least of all a selfish one – off act. Yoga therapy calls upon the physician to heal himself first before unleashing himself upon the world. Yoga practice must either change the system or offer a challenge.

Treating sickness through Yoga, sometimes with different ways like, change of diet, certain (asanas), Pranayam & all the time prayer, serves more as transformation than information.

Note: All of the Asanas, breathing & purification exercises mentioned below should strictly be done under the guidance of a qualified instructor.

Listed below are some Asanas – body – postures & their benefits.

    It is a relaxation exercise. It reduces restlessness, balances nervous system overactivity & brings progressive muscle relaxation.
  • Arshmatsyendrasana & matsyendrasana:
    These asanas help alleviate indigestion & loss of appetite.
  • Sarvangasana:
    This asana is very beneficial in increasing considerably the strength of the brain & nerves.It is a rejuvenation exercise.
  • Shirshasana:
    It sends a rich flow of refreshing blood to the brain, relaxing the mind & body & improving concentration, body metabolism & brain functioning.
  • Pranayama:
    Derived from prana(Life Force) & ayama(Control), constitutes the yoga science of breath control.The reciprocal relationship between emotions & breathing is well– established.
  • Nadi–shodhana:

  • Kunjal:

  • Nauli:
    Removes the impurities in the lining of the intestines, apart from relieving some of the physical problems of an ex– addict, it imparts a sense of cleanliness.
Meditation
It is a quite time in a noisy world. It is a chance to talk with our Higher Power & to listen for answers to our questions. It’s a time of Healing. You have to learn how your addiction functions. Meditation helps you to discover yourself. Through understanding you can find the creative choices that replace the addictive behaviour. Each new behaviour you develop through this exercise provides another way to move from destructive to a creative one.
