What is Y12SR?

Y12SR combines the practical tools of the 12-step program with the ancient wisdom of yoga.
Combining the two, creates a model that truly addresses addiction as the physical, mental, and spiritual dis-ease that it is.
Y12SR is a 12-step-based discussion and yoga practice open to anyone and everyone dealing with their own addictive behavior or affected by the addictive behaviors of others.
This is a open and inclusive group.
All A’s are welcome.
Our suggested minimum donation is $5.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve never practiced yoga before, can I still come to a Y12SR meeting?

Yes.  The yoga teacher will always ask if there is anyone new to yoga. Once you identify yourself as a beginning student, your teacher will offer specific guidance and modifications for you.

Are Y12SR meetings only for members of AA?

No, Y12SR is a 12-step based discussion and yoga practice open to anyone and everyone dealing with their own addictive behavior or affected by the addictive behavior of others.  This is a open and inclusive group.  All A’s are welcome.
 

Is Y12SR a replacement for my existing recovery practice?

Y12SR is in 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.

Do I need to have my own yoga mat to participate?

Yoga mats are provided for free, if you have your own you can bring it.

What happens to the donation money given from members?

The model for Y12SR is win/win/win.  Our leaders are asked to split the total donation into thirds.  Where 1/3 goes to the teacher, 1/3 to the facility hosting the class, and 1/3 to a non-profit community based organization that in some way serves those affected by the dis-ease of addiction.

What kind of clothing should I wear to practice yoga?

Please wear clothing in which you can bend and stretch in both physical and mental comfort.

How long are Y12SR meetings?

Meetings can last anywhere from 1 – 2 hours depending on how many people are in the group.
