Addiction: A Disease of Will Power with David Ibrahim, LMFT, LAADC

IN PERSON OR ONLINE

Yoga says the root of all disease is spiritual. We forget our true nature. Addiction expert Durga Leela teaches the 12 steps in conjunction with Ayurveda—crimes against wisdom. Take time to develop your inner resource. Therapies that engage the senses are effective. Ultimately, this, too, shall pass.
