Yoga In The Shadows
Bruce Kulbert, a film maker from Eugene Oregon, is in the process of creating what will undoubtedly become a very powerful documentary about drug addiction and how the practice of yoga has helped in the recovery process.
“Yoga in the Shadows” will examine the role that Yoga is playing in the personal
recovery of individuals whose personal stories and perhaps tragedies have led them to jails and prisons, low-income and homeless shelters, teen centers, domestic violence shelters and drug and alcohol recovery centers.
Patterns of poverty and abuse, addiction and desperation, the sense of a lack of self worth, helplessness and hopelessness emerge.
Some individuals live incarcerated in literal prisons doing time for past deeds committed, while others live in figurative prisons created by addiction and abuse. Tools exist with which individuals may regain a measure of self-control
over their lives and bodies.
One such tool is yoga.
