Nikki Myer
In this episode, I am speaking with the founder of @Y12SR (Yoga 12 Step Recovery) Nikki Myers. Nikki realized after 2 relapses, that although both Yoga and 12 Steps programs are both useful in solidifying one’s recovery, she and others like her needed a way to connect the two differing aspects. Yoga, a combination of physical and mental awareness had little to offer her in the cognitive world we are all raised in. The 12 Step programs that we have all around us tend to exist in the cognitive world and lack some of the real hard inner work that yoga focuses on. Her bringing these together has helped millions and as it relates to recovering the self Nikki and I seem to have a lot to talk about. Yoga 12 step recovery is yoga for those of us in recovery more than it is recovery for those of us interested in yoga. These are sessions that begin with a brief check-in, maybe a reading, and share and then we do some dimple mindful yoga movements. Find Y12SR meetings near you wherever you are in the world here https://y12sr.com/ there you will also find ways to get in touch with Nikki and her staff for training and other resources. With episodes like this one, I am extremely grateful. Nikki and I connected in so many ways and I am looking forward to meeting face to face one day when this pandemic passes. I love and respect her approach and how she expresses her recovery. She and I both connect to the same outcomes of our practices which guide us forward in our work of being our own authentic selves. Broadening these conversations is part of my mission. I cannot express how grateful I am to have so many wonderful people trust me to interview them, it is my hope, that I also am able to contribute to their lives and show you how you might better see your growth.
