    Join us for an enlightening workshop with Nikki Myers, founder of Y12SR, the Yoga of 12-Step Recovery. Rooted in the wisdom of Yoga Sutra 2:16 (“future suffering can be avoided”), Nikki’s method weaves the art and science of yoga with the practical tools of 12-step programs to provide a comprehensive framework for addiction relapse prevention. This system integrates the cognitive approach of the 12-step program, trauma-healing techniques from Somatic Experiencing, and the body-mind approaches found in yoga therapy and mindfulness practices.

    Drawing from ancient texts, trauma research, and cutting-edge neuroscience studies, we will delve into how combining cognitive and somatic methods can support profound changes in brain patterning. Rooted in the theme "The Issues Live in Our Tissues," this holistic model promotes compassionate awareness, deep-rooted change, and healing and invites individuals to build capacity and resilience, cultivate skillful mind states for skillful actions, practice presence, integrate, learn, teach, and heal.

    A recording will be made available to all registrants for 30 days following the workshop.

    Recommended props: Participants will need any props they use for their personal practice.

    ​​An accomplished speaker and teacher, Nikki Myers is an MBA, E-RYT 500, Yoga Therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Addictions Recovery Specialist, and Ayurvedic Specialist. Born from her struggles with addiction and work with countless students, Nikki is the founder of Y12SR, Yoga of 12-Step Recovery. Based on its theme ‘the issues live in the tissues’, Y12SR is a relapse prevention program that weaves the art & science of yoga with the practical tools of 12-step programs.

    Y12SR meetings are available internationally and the curriculum has rapidly become a feature of addiction recovery treatment centers.   Nikki’s work has been featured in the New York Times, Black Enterprise, The Huffington Post, Origin Magazine, CBSnews.com and countless podcasts.  She is honored to be a co-founder of the annual Yoga, Meditation and Recovery Conferences at Esalen Institute and Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health.  Nikki has been featured as a keynote speaker at the International Association of Yoga Therapist (IAYT) conference and the International Conference on Integrative Medicine at Harvard Medical School.  She was named a Yoga Journal Game Changer and is an honored recipient of the esteemed NUVO Cultural Visionary Award.
