Yoga + Universal 12 Step Meetings as conceived by Nikki Meyers, Founder of Yoga of 12 Step Recovery. Now in Youngstown, Columbus, Yellow Springs & Cincy
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. 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

BEST of 2015:
This week we'll be sharing a couple of lingering blogs that we didn't get a chance to post last week. This piece, picked up by YOGANONYMOUS, is about the concept of spiritual bypass. If you are engaged in any spiritual practice and/or you are on a path of recovery, making yourself familiar with the term is recommended:
What is Spiritual Bypass? “I think it’s wonderful when people find God. What I don’t think is wonderful is when people ...

Hello fellow spaceholders! I had such a lovely experience facilitating Y12SR this morning as our final class of a women's recovery retreat at the Amrit Yoga Institute in Florida where there is an active recovery program. My co-facilitator, Colette Carroll said this was the first time Y12SR in the format Nikki created was ever shared at Amrit and she was just delighted.
Although I often lead the yoga portion of Y12SR in silence I decided to put a playlist together today--- with my Dancing Mindfulness work playlists are very important to me. Since we were moving with music a lot this weekend it seemed appropriate to craft some nice musical flow for our yoga practice and I'm really delighted with how it went. Sharing the playlist here...
