This meeting was happening weekly and attendance was low so I moved it to monthly. I have received some feedback that an earlier start time may help more people attend. I would consider running the meeting with an earlier start time, like 6 or 6:30pm and I would also consider running the meeting bi weekly or even weekly as long as the demand is there. Please let me know what you would like to see and I will do my best to make it happen.

Looking forward to starting the year with you all.

I recently read that December has the highest number of recorded relapses of the year. Yoga and community are great ways to support sustainable recovery. We are all worthy of recovery and it's worth the effort. I'm rooting for us all.

Hi friends,

I have made the decision to move the Yoga of 12 Step Recovery meetings from weekly to monthly. Attendance has been low for the last while and I'm hoping that by decreasing the frequency of the meetings that more people will be able to join us.

Effective immediately, our meetings will take place on the first Wednesday of each month from 7:00-8:30 pm at Mindful Somatic Wellness.

Our next meeting will take place on Wednesday, November 1.

Thank you all for the part you play in my recovery and I look forward to seeing you all soon.

If you have any questions, please reach out.

Mary Oliver always has the right words.

It’s Wednesday which means that our weekly Yoga of 12 Step Recovery meeting is happening tonight. We’ve had a slow start with meeting moving to Wednesday and I’m hoping to get more people attending these meetings. I’ve always believed in the Y12SR mission and offering. I am working at marketing and spreading the word about this class. If you have any suggestions for how to rebuild the attendance at the meeting, please let me know.

If you have been thinking about attending, but just haven’t made it back yet, know that we would love to see you and hear how things are going and share a movement practice together. If you’ve never been, come check it out.

E E Cummings - one of my favorite poems ever. This one was painted by my late friend Terra on her shed. I took a photo of it after she passed away and it’s up on my wall at home as a reminder. I shared it at last weeks Y12SR meeting.

If you feel like you’re in a hole, know that you can get out and take a different street.

There Is a Hole in My Sidewalk
Autobiography in Five Short Chapters
By Portia Nelson

Chapter One
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost…I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter Two
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend that I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in this same place.
But, it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter Three
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep whole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in…it’s a habit…but,
My eyes are open
I know where I am
It is my fault.
I get out immediately,

Chapter Four
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter Five
I walk down another street.

Happy Birthday to the creator of the Y12SR program. Nikki Myers. You are a beaming light of love, wisdom and humor for us all.

Holy s**t!!! Happy birthday 🎂to me!!! I’m 69!! 😬I’ve now been on this earth 🌎nearly 7 decades…and what wild ass ride it’s been. I’m told that in numerology 69 is an angel number that spiritually brings in the energies of idealism, harmony, peace, happiness, joy, and family. This was news to me as what I’ve always known 69 to mean is ‘everybody wins’. That fun thought aside....what I do know for sure is that I’ve had a lot of angels in my life through this wild ass ride. And.. today, especially today.. I am so, so, deeply grateful.
For this birthday, if you are so inclined and willing, please consider donating to the Y12SR Community Outreach Initiative. Funds donated support bringing hope and healing to individuals, families and communities most profoundly affected by the dis-ease of addiction.

Thank you in advance❤️
