Having taught over 1600 yoga classes to people in recovery, I have experienced first-hand the incredible power of yoga to transform lives. I have amazing students; students who come for physical challenge and investigation… students who come for healing… students who come to learn about the tools that yoga offers them and their wellness path… students who have come to enhance their recovery from addiction and to avoid relapse.
I have been a yoga teacher for several years and my primary focus has been classes designed for people recovering from addictions. I am also a certified Yoga of Recovery (YoR) Counselor available for private consultations and group work.
I take my classes to jails, recovery homes, halfway houses, and detention centers, helping others find inner guidance and strength through yoga and with each other. I hold classes in studios – Y12SR classes (Yoga of 12 Step Recovery)- combining a recovery meeting with a yoga class. I have been involved with the Art of Yoga Project and the Niroga Institute – both organizations that work with at-risk youth. My volunteer time includes classes at the Recovery Cafe San Jose and Elmwood Jail.
My focus includes training others to share the power of “service” yoga through my program “S.O.A.R.™ and being a Y12SR Leadership Trainer. My sincere hope is that we are able to bring yoga to all treatment centers, aftercare and offer to it in jails and institutions. Bringing the holistic healing powers of yoga to these venues would be a wonderful thing!
