Taylor Hunt: In Recovery
September is National Recovery Month. This national observance has been held every September since 1989, to educate and increase awareness around mental health and substance use disorders. It’s also a month to celebrate the people who have recovered and honor their strength in living healthy and rewarding lives.
We are reminded of Malcolm X when he wrote in the forward to his autobiography that ‘the lurid gossipy details of his misspent youth were not meant to simply entertain but to educate those on the rewards of a spiritual life.’
Taylor came on our podcast with great patience as he explains just how different an addict’s life is from a “normie.”
It’s really different. Harmony and Russell share deeply traumatized, addictive personalities, where sobriety was rare in their family. And, strangely enough the family behaviour modeled for them was actually quite different from Taylor; yet, unlike him, when they have a drink, or use substances they likely won’t, as Taylor said, “Burn Mysore to the Ground.”
We invite you to sit with us today as we explore Taylor’s life and ask him about the inspiring work of his non-profit organization, the Trini Foundation, which is dedicated to sharing the life-changing practice of Ashtanga Yoga with those suffering from addiction. Their mission is to provide yoga as a tool to aid in the recovery process and help people who are suffering, maintain long-term sobriety.
They partner with treatment centers, recovery programs, and yoga studios nationwide to help offer yoga classes to individuals in early recovery.
Harmony will be offering a class on Saturday September 18th in support of the Trini Foundation and their initiative to bring Ashtanga Yoga to those recovering from alcohol and drug addiction.
