Yoga of 12-Step Recovery (Y12SR) is a holistic program that blends the mind-body practices of yoga (asanas, breathwork) with the cognitive tools of traditional 12-step programs (like AA) to treat addiction by addressing its physical, mental, and spiritual aspects, recognizing that "the issues live in the tissues" to promote healing and prevent relapse. It combines physical postures (asanas), mindful breathing (pranayama), meditation, and open sharing to connect participants with themselves and build community, complementing traditional therapy and 12-step meetings.
