Personalized Yoga Coaching for Addictions

Are you thriving in your life or is it suboptimal? Are you being the best parent or partner you can be? Are you living at 100%, or are you just moving through the motions, with your “new normal” being only 50% of your possible performance in life? It’s not about settling for “ this is middle age”, or some other excuse. You may be surprised to see how good you can actually feel by making some changes in your life. Why not find out just how good it feels to get back to your 100%! 

Do you feel frustrated with your life? Maybe you drink too much or have another addiction to help you get through the day. Maybe your body is out of balance, inflamed or overweight, or maybe you feel tired and sluggish throughout the day, you lack motivation, you find yourself snapping at others, your diet is unhealthy, you don’t exercise much, your relationships are challenged….and you are ready for some change. 

Imagine feeling like that leaner, stronger, more vibrant, younger version of yourself. Do you wish that you could be your authentic self again, and feel truly healthy again, more present and connected, lighter in mind and body, able to walk up stairs without panting, able to play games with your friends and kids without putting your back out. Do you wish you could be more engaged with life, more alive?

Well, that’s exactly why I created my Personalized Yoga and Coaching for Addictions Program. It will help you get from a place of stagnation and depression to a place of gratitude and feeling alive. We all have addictions of some kind – shopping, work, exercise, eating, scrolling, drugs, alcohol – and we all have our challenges that go along with those addictions. In my yoga coaching program we use different kinds of mindfulness – including yoga, meditation and breathwork – to work through those addictions and get you back into your body so that you are less disconnected from yourself and more present. It will help you get from where you are today to where you want to be, that place where you feel more alive, grounded and connected and more engaged with your family and friends and your life. 

I can help you. I was exactly where you are today. I thought everything was under control, but I was drinking too much in order to deal with my stress and it started creating more and more problems for me. I felt scattered. I was disconnected from myself and my life, just going through the motions, not fully engaged. After finding yoga and leaning into its healing powers, I committed to the process,  and after many yoga classes, I was able to get back into my body, stop drinking and get my life back on track. I have now been teaching yoga for over 20 years and have helped many people through some very challenging times in their lives. The yoga works. All we have to do is commit to the process and let it work its magic. 

In this 8 week course we will use yoga and mindfulness to get you back into your body so that you can live a more authentic, present and grateful life. You will be challenged as you go through your 8 week process to let go of any addictions and you will come out the other side feeling rejuvenated, grounded and more connected to yourself and others.  

The 8 week program will consist of an hour of personalized yoga and coaching each week, followed by journaling, homework and personal yoga practice for the rest of the week. A tailored yoga class will be sent to you for you to do that week. 

Each of the one hour sessions will be broken up into two sections – yoga and coaching. 

Week 1 – 

• 30-45 minutes of yoga, 30-45 minutes of coaching
• Tailored yoga class to determine where you are with yoga and your body 
• Personalized coaching to learn about you and your challenges 

Weeks 2 – 6 – 

• These 5 weeks are about helping you build resources to get you connected to yourself so that you can stay with the challenge rather than reaching for a drink or some other vice
• 30-45 minutes of yoga, 30 minutes of coaching
• We will use the coaching sessions to find out how things are going, how the yoga is working for you, where are you stuck and challenged
• We will use yoga and other mindfulness techniques to get you back into your body, and see how it is helping you in “real life”
• We will cultivate resources to help support you in the challenge including using –
  – Breath
  – Movement
  – Stillness
  – A Pause
  – Sounds
  – Gaze or focus

These will all help you get back into your body so that you can stay with the challenges in your life and deal with them more gracefully 

We will use yoga, breathwork and meditation to create more mindfulness in your life, and give you – 

• The chance to reconnect with your body
• The opportunity to get back to your authentic self
• The courageousness to overcome your addictions 
• The ability to get your life back on track living at 100%

The time is now. Regain your authenticity and become the best partner/parent/human you can be today. Start making the changes to your suboptimal life today so that you can get back to living your life at 100%. Because life is just too short and precious. 

TESTIMONIALS

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“I’ve been practicing yoga for close to 20 years, and I started taking Dave’s classes about 6 months ago. He is such an incredible instructor: his warm-ups are thorough and appropriate, his dialogue is spot-on, and his selection of poses is thoughtful. His classes work balance, strength, and focus, and when I’m done with class, my problem areas feel so much better. I’ve taken plenty of classes that push too closely to injury and strain; Dave always leads me through a class that is considerate and respectful to the body. I would highly recommend Dave to anybody who wants a well-rounded, beautifully cued practice that leaves you feeling amazing afterward.” – Denis

“I really enjoy taking Dave’s classes.  He pushes you beyond what you think your limits are.  The vinyasas are continuous, challenging your strength, breathing, stamina and flexibility.  I’m very passionate about surfing and practicing yoga has allowed me to continue doing what I love to do.  People have been looking for that magical elixir for eternal youth, I believe that yoga is that elixir.  Thank you Dave!” – Glen

“I can’t say enough about how great Dave is. As a former professional athlete, my body has been through a lot and my knees cannot take much any more. I started doing yoga about three years ago and it has been amazing for my mind, body and spirit. I love Dave’s class. I feel challenged every time I go. His playlist is fantastic, his presence is peaceful yet strong, and the flow of his class is smooth and creative. My body feels great and I feel stronger, extremely sweaty and peaceful when class is over. Dave is the best!” – Johan
