What We Offer:
Embodied Recovery™ provides a safe, trauma-informed group experience grounded in yoga philosophy and 12-Step–inspired recovery principles. Within this supportive setting, participants develop practical tools for emotional regulation through mindful movement, therapeutic processing, and embodied awareness; strengthening resilience and reconnecting with the body as a source of wisdom and healing.
Our integrative approach weaves together the relational power of group work, the embodied practices of yoga, and the spiritual foundations of recovery-based principles. This work supports a gentle shift from survival patterns into embodied presence, self-trust, and sustainable well-being.
Together, we create space to author an authentic recovery narrative rooted in self-awareness, connection, and meaningful, lasting change.
