This unique approach offers a sanctuary for those grappling with their own addictive behaviors or affected by others' addictions. Y12SR meetings are designed to help individuals delve deeper into their self-discovery and recovery journeys, providing a safe and welcoming environment for all. Nikki emphasizes the importance of reintegrating all parts of oneself, transcending the binary notions of good and bad, right and wrong.

The trauma-informed yoga practice, grounded in spiritual principles, offers a non-judgmental space for individuals to release deeply held traumas.
Nikki also provides training and certifications for yoga teachers, therapists, and movement professionals, enabling them to bring this healing work back to their communities. This episode is a treasure trove of insights and practical advice for anyone on the path to recovery.
