Yoga 12 Step Recovery (Y12SR)

Addiction is often spoken of as a physical, mental and spiritual disease – making yoga a powerful adjunct to 12- step programs.

Yoga-12 Step Recovery – Y12sr helps to connect the dots and create a sustainable platform for addiction recovery. Y12sr is a combination of a gentle yoga class combined with a recovery meeting where all A’s are welcome; those whose family members or friends are struggling with any type of addiction as well as people who are in their own relationship with addiction/path of recovery and discovery.

This combination of yoga & a meeting is perfect for people brand new to yoga and/or recovery as well as people who already have a yoga practice and a recovery program.

Qi GONG CLASSES

QIGONG: stomach & spleen

Tonify the stomach and spleen – embracing the earth element of grounding energy

Join us for a QIGONG session to enhance your well-being during the late summer season. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the spleen and stomach are the dominant organs during this time, and tonifying (or fortifying) these organs can significantly boost your immunity, improve digestion, enhance blood flow and stamina and promote mental clarity and focus.

In this workshop, we will delve into the Earth Phase, the energetic phase of late summer that holds the center of balance in the rhythm of yin and yang. You will learn QIGONG techniques specifically designed to tonify the spleen and stomach, bringing in the grounding energy of the Earth element. This practice will help you balance yin and yang within yourself and connect to the forces of Heaven (yang), Earth (yin), and Human (Qi).

Through guided exercises, breathing techniques, and meditation, you will gain tools to support your physical health, emotional balance and mental clarity. Whether you are new to Qi Gong or an experienced practitioner, this workshop offers valuable insights and practices to enhance your overall well-being.

QIGONG: Flow for the dai mai

The Dai Mai is called the Belt Channel because it wraps around the waist like a belt! It is the only meridian that flows on a horizontal plane. Energetically, the Dai Mai holds you together. Cultivating this channel will make you strong! If you feel like you are ‘falling apart’ or need support, this is the meridian to focus on.. Emotionally, the Dai Mai helps you process and let go of pent-up emotions.

This class will end with one or two yin yoga postures to release any remaining tension and to cultivate deep relaxation.
