There are many parallels between the goals of
yoga and the goals of the Twelve Step process of
staying sober from alcohol and/or drugs. This
makes yoga a fun, interactive activity that helps
you in your process of staying sober.

• Yoga promotes self-acceptance. Learning to love
  and accept yourself, with all your good and bad
  points, is a vital part of the journey of staying
  sober.
• Yoga teaches you the importance of staying in
  the moment. When past traumas and memories or
  dreams of the future keep you from staying
  present in the moment, staying sober can be close
  to impossible.

• Mindfulness is an integral part of any yoga
  practice. The Big Book for Twelve Steps promises
  that anyone can be successful at staying sober if
  they practice rigorous honesty. Thats
  precisely what mindfulness is being honest with
  yourself about the impact your actions make and
  therefore becoming careful about how to watch
  your actions.
• Yoga promotes a healthy body image, which is
  something many people who have issues staying
  sober struggle with.
