Y12SR-The Yoga of 12-Step Recovery

We connect the dots between the somatic approach of yoga & the cognitive approach of recovery models. Conversely, yoga itself means union, integration, balance.

The 12-step recovery model, created in 1939, is the most well-known and pervasive addiction/recovery program in the world with millions of practitioners internationally. In a word, the characteristics and effects of addiction could easily be described as separation. Addictive behaviors separate and disconnect us from ourselves, our loved ones, our environment and so much more. Yoga and its practic

es teach the fine art of balancing our multidimensional lives while living in a 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. Y12SR recognizes that yoga and its practices are a part of a holistic recovery program and rather than a replacement, it provides adjunct tools to address the physical, mental and spiritual disease of addiction. Y12SR® is a community organizing platform that provides a rich and powerful framework for integrating the wisdom of yoga and the practical tools of 12-step programs. Currently, there are 3 platform branches: Education and Training, The Addiction Treatment Center Initiative and The Y12SR Foundation. Guided by it’s theme ‘The Issues Live In the Tissues”, Y12SR meetings are now available all over country and the curriculum is quickly becoming a feature of addiction recovery treatment centers across the United States. Y12SR is proud to be supported by The Give Back Yoga Foundation, a 501c-3 organization that brings the transformational benefits of yoga and mindfulness to underserved and under resourced populations.

⏰ 9:00 AM ET
✨ Led by the incredible Lynn Gifford

This isn’t just a class… it’s an experience.
We explore the connection between mind, body, and behavior, because the issues live in the tissues.

Come as you are. No perfection required. Just willingness. 💛

We meet ourselves where we are… not where we think we “should” be.

No judgment. No shame. No fixing required.

Just honesty, compassion, and the courage to be with what is. 🤍

This is where healing begins.
