Y12SR-Yoga of 12-Step Recovery
Our Mission : To empower individuals with practices that support recovery and enhance physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
What is Yoga of 12-Step Recovery
Yoga of 12-Step Recovery offers a rich and powerful framework for addiction recovery and relapse prevention.Yoga of 12-step recovery is a Holistic model to address the physical, mental and spiritual dis-ease of addiction. Y12SR “connects the dots” between the ancient wisdom of yoga, the practical tools of 12-step programs, and the latest research on trauma healing and neurobiology. The program serves people recovering from all areas of addiction, from behavioural addictions to substance use and for those who have been impacted by a loved one’s addiction.
The characteristics and effects of addiction could easily be described as separation. Addictive behaviours 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 a complex world. Yoga of 12-Step Recovery was created as a holistic model to address the physical, mental and spiritual dis-ease of addiction. Informed by the latest research in neuroscience and trauma healing, Y12SR “connects the dots” by combining the somatic approach of yoga with the cognitive approach of the 12-step recovery model – the most well-known addiction recovery program in the world, with millions of active practitioners.
A few things to know about Y12SR Meetings
Y12SR is open to anyone and everyone dealing with their own addictive behaviour or affected by the addictive behaviour of others. This is an open and inclusive group. All A’s are welcome.
Y12SR in not a replacement for 12-step meetings, a sponsor, or any other part of a 12-step recovery program. It is an adjunct providing another helpful tool to more fully address the physical, mental and spiritual dis-ease of addiction.
Y12SR is donation-based. There is often a suggested donation and in the current market, yoga classes range from $15 – $20/class. This said, no one is ever turned away. You are more important than your money.
Y12SR meeting donations are collected and divided into thirds. One-third goes to the teacher, one-third goes to the host facility, and one-third goes to a local nonprofit organization that serves those affected by the dis-ease of addiction. Donations collected from my Y12SR meetings go towards supporting “Recovery Support Canada”.
Y12SR meetings are open to all levels of yogi’s. Classes are gentle and designed for relaxation, mindfulness and integration. All levels welcome and no experience is necessary. Please feel free to connect with me before hand if you wish to discuss any concerns.
Navigating the world of recovery can be scary and overwhelming. Together we can honour, support and encourage each other in a safe non-judgmental environment as we navigate our own journey towards recovery.
Together we make a difference
