Yoga for Recovery

Yoga has been a profound tool for me on my personal journey of recovery from alcohol addiction. I am a certified Yoga of 12 Step Recovery (Y12SR) Leader and I teach yoga to people on the path of recovery in treatment centres and in my community.

I facilitate ongoing public Yoga of 12 Step Recovery meetings in Calgary, Alberta.

Meeting Details

Y12SR is a discussion and movement class open to anyone and everyone dealing with their own addictive behaviors or the addictive behavior of others. Entry is by donation with a suggested donation of $12, but know that you are always more important than your money and all are welcome.

About Y12SR – 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. As part of a holistic recovery program, it works in tandem with traditional treatment to address the physical, mental and spiritual disease of addiction.

The program serves people recovering from all manifestations of addiction, from behavioral addictions to substance abuse – creating a safe place on the mat where trauma can be released. It also supports those who are impacted by a loved one’s addiction.

If you are struggling with addiction, please reach out. Know that you are never alone and there is always hope. As Laura McKowen says “you can’t do alone, but only you can do it.”
