\nWhat is the real addiction this pandemic is forcing us to face?
\nWhen your world suddenly stops, what\u2019s the most inspired way to get it started again?
\n
\nTommy Rosen, founder of Recovery 2.0, is one of the reasons I love living in Los Angeles.
\nI first met Tommy years ago when the conscious music band I was managing performed in his spacious living room for about 100 beautiful brilliant and talented Los Angeles people … \xa0 I\u2019ve since come to know Tommy as a deeply wise man. He\u2019s actually a renowned Kundalini Yoga teacher \u2013 which I\u2019d tried a few times and decided immediately I didn\u2019t like \u2013 until I did a 3-day workshop where Tommy taught Kundalini Yoga twice a day, morning and evening, all 3 days. I went with it, and 3 days later my neck and back felt free of strain and pain for the first time in years. Ever since, I\u2019ve incorporated into my morning practice a simple breathing practice I learned from him that weekend, and it continues to make my body and mind feel better.\xa0
\nNow, I\u2019ve actually wanted to get Tommy on \u201cMen, This Way\u201d since I first conceived of this podcast, but it just didn\u2019t come together. Tommy and his wife, Kia Miller, another world-renowned Yogi in her own right, travel incessantly.\xa0
\nIn fact, I was inspired to re-invite Tommy to the podcast just last week, after reconnecting with him on a quarantine-inspired zoom call with a few friends. Because he said a few things that deeply resonated with me about how he\u2019s experiencing this great time of what could be considered global shutdown and personal upheaval.
\nWe\u2019ll dive into that in our conversation.\xa0
\nLast thing I want to say about Tommy is he is not just a survivor of addiction, he\u2019s a world-renowned leader in the realm of addiction-recovery, as the founder and host of the Online Conference Series, \u201cRecovery 2.0: Beyond Addiction\u201d \u2026 leading Recovery 2.0 retreats and workshops internationally, and presenting regularly at yoga conferences and festivals. Tommy\u2019s first book, Recovery 2.0: Move Beyond Addiction and Upgrade Your Life, was published by Hay House in October 2014. He was recently a featured guest on Russel Brand\u2019s podcast, Under the Skin, and he\u2019s just all around a wise, and good dude.
\nDefinitely stay tuned for Tommy’s 5 Key Takeaway’s \u2013 Quarantine Edition \u2013 at the end.
\nAlright \u2026
