What is Yoga of 12-Step Recovery (Y12SR)?

Yoga of 12-Step Recovery (Y12SR) combines the practical tools of the 12-Step program with the ancient wisdom of yoga. Y12SR is a 12-step based discussion and yoga practice open to anyone and everyone affected by the addictive behavior of others or dealing with their own addictive behavior. This is an open and inclusive group. All A’s are welcome. All levels of yoga are welcome, especially beginners!.

Y12SR recognizes that the “issues live in our tissues” and through our intentional, themed yoga practice, guided by our breath, we invoke the God of our understanding to help us release whatever is being held.    

This group is no way a replacement for 12-Step meetings, a sponsor, or any other part of a 12-Step recovery program. It is an adjunct providing what we believe is another helpful tool in addressing the physical, mental and spiritual dis-ease of addiction.  

I highly recommend all Recovery Coaching clients attend Y12SR. 

I am passionate about mentoring others to the path of recovery through the holistic approach of yoga, meditation and nutrition and is also offered in Recovery Coaching Sessions as part of a recovery plan. 

 I also teach Y12SR at drug treatment centers and yoga studios.  If you are interested in offering Y12SR at your organization and want more information about the Urban Outreach Program and Give Back Yoga Foundation for non-for-profit organizations learn more here:
