Chapter 12: Pain, Addiction and Yoga
Presenter: Tracey Sondik
This webinar explores addiction and its intersection with pain. This is particularly important in the climate of the opioid crisis and the increased public awareness on addiction and the movement towards identifying viable and effective nonpharmacological interventions for pain.
We will discuss the philosophical context and practices of yoga in connection to these topics.
We hope that a greater understanding of addiction will increase compassion towards the people living in pain, and decrease one of the most powerful stigmas around pain.
Learning Objectives for Chapter 12:
- Discover how yoga philosophy provides a framework for both understanding the root causes for pain and addiction.
- Explore the growing body of research supporting yoga and other mindfulness- based interventions as important complementary mind/body adjunctive approaches for the treatment of addiction.
- Explore a new integrative paradigm for addiction recovery that combines traditional yoga philosophy and practices (asana, pranayama, meditation) and western psychological treatments.
- Practice specific asana, pranayama, and meditation practices that can be utilized as part of an integrative approach to addiction recovery.
What you will learn can be effectively applied via virtual and in-person consults.

Here is the description for the entire 15-part Book Club webinar series:
Are you looking for ways to better help people in pain? If you are, you’re not alone. It is estimated that over 1.5 billion people worldwide are affected by chronic pain. That’s 20.5% of the world population that is suffering and needs your help.
Join Neil Pearson, Shelly Prosko and Marlysa Sullivan, the co-editors of Yoga and Science in Pain Care, and 8 co-authors for the first-ever 15-part book club webinar series that will take place once per month over 15 months.
This book club webinar series is intended for:
- Practitioners including yoga therapists and healthcare practitioners interested in integrating yoga with their persistent pain population to expand their approaches in clinical practice
- Yoga teachers interested in understanding aspects of the science behind yoga and pain
- Medical/healthcare professionals who want to better understand pain or want to integrate yoga and mind/body practices
- Mind/body contemplative practitioners/researchers/clinicians who want to better understand the science around pain and how yoga as a mind/body practice works with people in pain
- Yoga practitioners or integrative health consumers who want an in-depth read with practical knowledge in this field.
- Yoga therapist programs and medical university/college programs that require online course study in pain care
- Schools that have online mind/body programs as stand-alone modules or as part of medical programs and other mind-body institutions.
- People suffering from pain, particularly those keen about learning some practices to help with pain self-care and who want to learn more about the value of integrating pain science and yoga
We also hope that this series will help bring together yoga therapists and health professionals. There is value in blending science and yoga therapy in pain care – for the person in pain, for the health professional, and for the yoga professional.
Learning Objectives for the Full Series:
