Immerse yourself in recovery community at Kula for a meeting of the mind and body during Y12SR: The Yoga of 12-Step Recovery. Y12SR “connects the dots” between the ancient wisdom of yoga, the practical tools of 12-step programs, and the latest research on trauma healing and neurobiology. The cognitive and the somatic are blended into one holistic approach designed to address the physical, mental, and spiritual dis-ease of addiction.

Y12SR meetings include a 12-step-style recovery-based, discussion-style meeting guided by your peer support specialists, Andrew and Danea. After the meeting, you'll be led through a gentle yoga practice including asana (poses), pranayama (breathwork), mudra (hand gestures), and guided meditation, woven together with the Y12SR "interventions" meant to be utilized off the mat.

Y12SR is open to anyone dealing with their own addictive behavior or affected by the addictive behavior of others. All "A's," recovery paths, and the recovery-curious are welcome. Y12SR is an adjunct recovery and relapse prevention tool designed to support one's ongoing program.

Y12SR mini-meetings include 45 minutes of group sharing and 15 minutes of grounding and centering using yoga tools and the Y12SR interventions.

Bring your mat, water bottle, and a cash or Venmo (@kulayogagr) donation for class.

Suggested donation between $10-20, and you are welcome to attend without a donation. Donation proceeds will go to the Y12SR Community Outreach Initiative.

(Inner) Spring Cleaning: RESET Breathwork to Emerge from Winter with Cacao + Community

Winter is a season of contraction, rest, and inward reflection. Spring asks something different of us, inviting movement, growth, and renewal. This Spring RESET breathwork experience, led by Sarah Sutton, is designed to help you energetically shed the heaviness of winter and reconnect with vitality, clarity, and forward momentum.

The evening will begin with intentional journaling to explore what you’re ready to leave behind and what wants to emerge next. Through RESET Breathwork, you’ll release stagnant energy, clear emotional residue from the colder months, and activate fresh life force within your body.

After breathwork, you’ll sip ceremonial cacao and enjoy reflection time to integrate your breakthroughs, followed by a community circle to share reflections and insights and connect with other likeminded humans!

You’ll leave feeling lighter, rejuvenated, renewed, alive, and aligned with the natural expansion of Spring!

What is RESET Breathwork?
RESET is a 3-part conscious connected breathing pattern used to release stored emotions and trauma in the mind and body, reset the nervous system, and create an elevated state of being. The RESET Breath Method takes you deeper than traditional Pranayama, breathing into your body and inner world, inviting more release and a state of relaxation and awareness.

R: Re-calibrate your nervous system
E: Elevate your vibration
S: Somatically release stored emotions
E: Expand your consciousness
T: Transform into your most authentic self

Do not register if you are pregnant or recently post-natal (6 weeks or less)
