Yoga for 12-Step Recovery (Y12SR)

Addictive behaviors separate and disconnect us from ourselves, our loved ones, our environment and so much more. Conversely, yoga itself means union, integration, balance. Yoga and its practices teach the fine art of balancing our multidimensional lives while living in complex world. The 12-step program approaches addiction at a cognitive level, yoga includes a somatic approach. The combining of the two creates a model that truly addresses addiction as the physical, mental and spiritual disease that it is.

Yoga for 12-Step Recovery recognizes that yoga and its practices are a part of a holistic recovery program and rather than replacement, it provides adjunct tools to address the physical, mental and spiritual disease of addiction. This is a donation based program in which a portion of the proceeds are recycled back into the local organizations that aid in rehabilitation and recovery.
