You are invited to embody the teachings of the 12-Step Recovery Model. This model originated with Alcoholics Anoynmous, and can serve anyone working through addiction recovery.  With the addition of hatha yoga, you get the chance to feel teachings like surrender, inner wisdom, and compassion within your own body. 

​

  • Y12SR is for ANYONE seeking support to navigating their own addiction OR other’s addictions

  • Y12SR gets that addiction isn’t limited to substances but comes in many flavors, including relationships, sex, eating disorders, exercise, social media…. ALL places where we get lost are supported here. 

  • This is an open and inclusive group.

 

Yoga 4 Recovery consists of a 45 minute recovery meeting that is open to all pathways of recovery. Whether your recovery is from alcohol, opioids, food, relationships, gaming, etc..., whether you follow an abstinence based program or harm-reduction, whether it is your own addiction or the addiction of others that you're struggling with, you get to define your recovery and this group is here to support you in that process. This meeting will be followed by a 45 minute trauma-informed yoga practice open to all skill levels that will include breathwork, gentle movement, and guided meditation. This is an open and inclusive group.

 

This group is donation based, no one is turned away for inability to pay. Donations can be made online by clicking the donate button below, or in cash at the studio. Donations support the ability to keep this meeting as an ongoing resource for the community.

Thanks for submitting!

Land Acknowledgement: It is our privilege and honor at Auke Bay Yoga to live, work, and practice here on Lingít Aani, on the unceded territory of the Áak'w Kwáan who have resided in this area since time immemorial, and who have historically been displaced from what we know today as Berners Bay and the Auke Bay areas of D'zantiki Héeni, known by its colonized name of Juneau. 

 

We would also like to recognize our relatives of the Taku River, the T'aaku Kwáan who came to reside at Anax Ya Andagan Ye' otherwise known as South Douglas, without recognizing them would further contribute to the erasure of their very existence and the many contributions they have made to this community in the past, now, and in the future. The T'aaku are our relatives, we care for them, and are thankful for the stewardships they too will continue to make in perpetuity.

​

Gunalchéesh to the Áak'w Kwáan for your continued stewardship and guidance as we move forward together recognizing the historical and ongoing harms of colonialism. We humbly give thanks to the land and its ancestors for their wisdom, strength, and generosity. May we honor and protect this sacred earth together for generations to come.
