Yoga is Recovery, Recovery is Yoga. Together we Awaken.
The word yoga means ‘to join, ‘unite', or connect what is separate. To ‘recover’ from dis-ease or trauma is to re-cover to a ‘normal’ state of health, mind & strength. At Sol Connection Center, we believe moving in and out of states of ease & dis-ease, or connection & disconnection is normal and we can learn to navigate those physical, mental & emotional health journeys without shame. All pathology & has a source & a solution. Isolation is a cause and connection is at the heart of solution.
TRAUMA, LOSS & unfelt greif
Acute, chronic or ongoing, trauma is not what happened to us, it is the wound that results and residual impacts. Often the pain of these wounds can cause us to protect, isolate, ‘cope’ and live from a dysregulated state of body or mind all too long before we become unwell enough for it to show or for us to ask for help. Depending on how long it has gone on, we may not even realize how dis-connected from our true essence and vitality we’ve become. Just surviving one day at a time is a hallmark of this time. Grasping for easy solutions and faux connection has us scrambling for peace of mind, a healthy body and robust lives filled with contentment & high vibration emotions such as love, gratitude & joy.
attachment & addiction
We understand that to be human is to suffer. No one is truly free of addiction, whatever form of attachment it may present itself. Whether we become attached to people, food, exercise, alcohol, drugs (prescription or illicit), technology, money, we all have the opportunity to allow healthy coping mechanisms to slip into “bad habits.” When we continue to overuse these coping methods, even when it negatively effects our wellbeing, our 'bad habit' has transformed to an 'addiction'. At Sol Center, we have all felt the need to recover a healthier balance. Everyone has their own reasons for getting here, it might be a rough life, a major loss, chronic stress, low self esteem, physical challenges, poor mental health, etc…, at Sol Center, we believe that the root of all these problems is dis-connection.
Modern day science and wisdom traditions show us that the only way out, is through.
There is more than one WAY to recoverY
Learning about and recovering from trauma, loss, unhealthy attachment and addiction comes when we are able to regain our inherent and optimal mental, physical and emotional health. At Sol Center, we are expert teachers, healers, and recovery mentors from a variety of different backgrounds. From a blend of yoga and meditation classes, other healing modalities and the 12 Steps of Recovery®, you can join us for structured support in the form of classes, residential co-housing, mentorship and support groups, Other fun community events include hikes, bowling, ice skating and even open-mic nights!
