Sponsored by the Provincetown Health and Recreation Departments, Yoga for Addiction Recovery, a weekly class for those recovering from addiction and their loved ones held at the Veterans Memorial Community Center, off Winslow Street in Provincetown. The class is free for Provincetown residents and offered by donation to participants from other towns.
The class will explore breath, movement, and stillness as a means for supporting recovery from addiction. The class will consist of basic yoga poses, meditation, and discussion. Yoga equipment will be provided, or participants are welcome to bring their own. Abstinence is not a requirement. The class is not a substitute for professional help. A certified Forrest and Yin yoga teacher, instructor Jen Kopec has been practicing meditation and yoga for fourteen of the fifteen years she’s been in recovery. “I find, by bringing awareness to the breath and the body, you can reduce stress and anxiety and assist addiction recovery. My hope for this class is to share these tools with those looking for similar relief,” says Kopec. Yoga for Recovery is one of the Health Department’s efforts to increase community supports for those struggling with substance use and those who love them. “Our goal is that anyone faced with substance use addiction finds somewhere to turn in Provincetown. |
