Curriculum overview
This training investigates yogic and 12-step principles as a foundation for recovery and healing of all addictions and as a foundation to create a more just and equitable society that supports the health and well-being of everyone.
Through lectures, practice, breakout groups and group conversations, practice teaching, experiential exercises, and Y12SR meeting simulation, this training dives deep to:
Identify the symptoms of unresolved trauma and nervous system dysregulation.
Discover sustainable ways for self-regulation and ‘trigger’ management that support and enhance physical, mental, and spiritual health on an individual and collective level.
Explore yoga and somatic tools to support brain repatterning.
Distinguish the traps of projection, transference, countertransference, boundary violations, and spiritual bypass.
Develop a network of professionals, including trauma experts and others in the addiction and recovery field.
