Brian Hyman, RYT, is a yoga instructor, meditation guide, dharma teacher, author, and father. He has been sober since 2009, and he has been teaching yoga and meditation at Cliffside Malibu since 2012. His dedicated work in the field of addiction treatment and recovery combines yogic philosophy, Buddhist wisdom, Twelve Step principles, and timeless insights from various spiritual traditions.  Brian is the author of the new book "Recovery with Yoga: Supportive Practices for Transcending Addiction." Even if you aren’t a “yogi” I think you will find real value in this conversation.
