I assert that the steps are brilliant. I have a specific question about something, but are you?
What happens when you combine the ancient practice of yoga with the modern 12-step recovery program? In this episode of HOME Podcast, Laura McKowen and Holly Whitaker chat with Nikki Myers, a yoga therapist and founder of Yoga of 12-Step Recovery. Nikki opens up about her personal struggles with addiction and how she found solace and healing through yoga. She explains how she merged the principles of the 12-step program with yogic philosophy to create a unique path to recovery.
Nikki dives into the concept of the five bodies of yoga, especially focusing on the anandamaya, or heart body, and its significance in the healing process. She also shares how chanting can be a powerful tool for processing life's challenges. One of the most striking points Nikki makes is about addiction stigma. She believes that everyone is addicted to their way of processing reality and emphasizes the importance of self-work in overcoming these patterns.
Through her work, Yoga of 12-Step Recovery is breaking down barriers and changing lives. This episode is a heartfelt and enlightening conversation that offers a fresh perspective on addiction and recovery. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Nikki's insights provide hope and practical advice.
