Respected author Rolf Gates has walked the road to recovery. He returns with a new title, Daily Reflections on Yoga, Addiction and Getting Well , which shows us how to combine yogic practices with modern addiction treatment strategies for optimal healing. In these 365 essays, he juxtaposes the 12-step recovery method with the Buddhist Eight-Fold way and the Eight Limbs of Classical Yoga to bring out the most effective elements for lasting healing and recovery. Each brief yet elegant essay is accompanied by a self-reflection prompt to help you process your own thoughts and experiences. As the co-founder of the Yoga + Recovery Conference at Esalen Institute and acclaimed author of Meditations from the Mat and Meditations on Intention and Being, Gates has become a leading voice in contemporary yoga and addiction. His own story and the stories of those who have helped him along the way personalise both the modern and classic teachings and embed them with the space of the human heart and everyday life.
