Part 2 of the Recovery Yoga podcast is now available! Learn more about how Iowa City yoga instructor, Noelle, helps to connect the mind, body, and recovery community.

✨ New Episodes Drop: Yoga in Recovery ✨Reconnecting mind, body, and community—one breath at a time.

We’re bringing you a powerful two‑part conversation on Plugged in to Public Health that dives deep into the healing potential of yoga in recovery spaces.

🧘‍♀️ Part 1: Stepping Into the Room
Host Lauren—yoga teacher of nine years—shares what it was like to attend one of Noelle’s Tuesday night classes and witness how intentionally every detail is crafted. Together, they explore Noelle’s path into yoga, the experiences that shaped her work in addiction and trauma, and the unique role yoga can play for people navigating recovery.You’ll hear what yoga looks like inside treatment programs, why safety and choice matter so much, and how even simple breath work can begin to shift long‑standing patterns of disconnection.

🧘‍♀️ Part 2: Beyond the Beginning
The conversation continues with Noelle, a trauma‑informed yoga teacher whose work bridges holistic practice, recovery support, and community healing. This episode moves from introduction to impact—what long‑term healing can look like, how community shapes recovery, and why it’s about so much more than willpower.

If you’re curious about the intersection of movement, healing, and public health, these episodes are a must‑listen.
