You're listening to season six of the Recovery Happy Hour Podcast.

Are you ready? Hold on to your headphones.

Let's do this. Hi everyone welcome to recovery happy hour where we talk about life beyond the

bottle and what happens after we stop drinking? I'm your host Tricia and after four years of not drinking alcohol

I've saved over $22,000 and that is the equivalent of 23 pairs of Christian Lubaton red-bottom heels or 3,193

sour dough jack combos from Jack in the box. Thank you for joining me. On today's episode

we've got an interview with a yoga teacher and her name happens to be Tricia

too. This is the second or third time I've had a yoga instructor on the show and one of the questions that I love to ask is what they think about those yoga classes that are paired with alcohol.

Yoga and beer, yoga and wine, drunk yoga, yoga with a goat and a martini, whatever, not

to mention mimosas and Pilates, beer and spin class, alcohol

available in the cafe at the gym, alcohol magically

finding its way into activities that not only

have nothing to do with drinking, but activities

that you usually go to

to either become healthier

or get in touch with and become aware and present with yourself.

It should be noted real quick that a glass of red wine a day is not actually healthy.

It turns out that study is bogus and alcohol interferes with the brain to numb your senses,

disrupt your mood and behavior, and make it harder to think clearly and have control of your

coordination. But let's do yoga anyway. I know I sound like a total asshole right now.

I'm not on a soapbox yet. I have a point to make, so stick with me for a few.
