RETURN TO THE SELF: A YOGA SUTRAS PATHWAY FOR SPIRITUAL SOBRIETY
One-on-one spiritual mentorship for women seeking healing, recovery, and awakening on their sober journey.
If you're seeking healing beyond simply "giving up a drink" — if you’re craving deep spiritual support as you walk your sober path — you are exactly where you’re meant to be.
Return to Self: A Yoga Sutra Journey is a personalized one-on-one coaching program for women at the beginning of, or already walking on their sober journey.
This is more than recovery - it’s a path of deep spiritual awakening, using the ancient wisdom of yoga to guide you home to yourself.
Drawing from over a decade of studying and teaching Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, participating in multiple alcohol free programs and communities, and exploring various healing modalities, I created this program by weaving together the most powerful principles and strategies that helped me truly heal.
This is the spiritual support I wish I had for the first five years of my alcohol-free journey: and now, I offer it to you.
WHAT THIS JOURNEY LOOKS LIKE
