I don't suppose you could recommend any specific poses that you know of to ease these sort of cravings? I don't expect to cure this with Asanas, but if you know some that might be helpful, I'd love to give 'em a shot. Thanks again and cheerio. Thanks for the support, Christina!

It is never about giving something up, but making room for new experiences. Now you can again begin to enjoy the flavours and smells that nature has to offer. You will find those senses beginning to return. My suggestion is to begin drinking lots of water. Eating more raw fruits and vegetables to begin rebalancing and supporting your system. Possibly you will find time for more Yoga classes. A little sweating will help to purge the toxins from your body. When you get a craving, go into a yoga pose to simply open up your chest with a nice long inhale and exhale several times. This will begin to remind your "mind" that it's good to breathe air and not smoke. Most important is not to pressure yourself. Just know that you have accomplished this for however long and if you go back to the habit, you WILL be able to succeed again. Blessings of support! Congratulations Allistair!
