A Community Studio

Ashtanga

Ashtanga is an athletic flow combining strength, flexibility and endurance, which can be practiced by yogis of all levels, and is particularly accommodating to newer practitioners. Literally translated, “Ashtanga Yoga” means “eight-limbed yoga”, which is a powerful, healing practice. It is a specific sequence of postures (asanas) linking breath (pranayama) and movement (vinyasa). Students are introduced to Ashtanga yoga’s Sun Salutations and basic sequences for standing, sitting, supine and prone asanas, Practice always culminates with savasana, and deep relaxation meditation.

Yoga for 12 Step Recovery

Yoga of 12 Step Recovery (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 disease that it is. Y12SR works through a holistic approach that connects the dots between neuroscience, trauma healing, cognitive and somatic-based methods. Its mission is to improve the lives of individuals and families affected by substance and behavioral addictions, and to enhance physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Y12SR is a 12-step based discussion and yoga practice that is open to anyone and everyone dealing with their own addictive behavior or affected by the addictive behavior of others. This is an open and inclusive group. EVERYONE IS WELCOME. You do not need to be a member of a 12-step program to participate.

Please wear comfortable clothing. Classes may incorporate pranayama (breathwork), guided meditation, a reading/quote, and other practices. Expect approximately 35 minutes of sharing and 35 minutes of asana (yoga poses).

Y12SR is donation based. Please give what you can. One-third of donations go to the studio for hosting, one-third to the space holder, and one-third to an addiction-based charity.

Y12SR meets the 3rd Tuesday and 1st Saturday of each month.
