Y12SR is an innovative addiction relapse prevention program that integrates the wisdom of yoga and the practical tools of 12-Step recovery programs. Guided by its theme “The Issues Live In the Tissues,” Y12SR is a meeting and a yoga practice. The time together will include a 12-Step-like sharing circle, and a yoga asana (movement), pranayama (breathwork) and meditation session. The yoga asana practice offered is designed to be accessible to all bodies and levels of yoga experience.
Y12SR is open to all persons who suffer with addiction as well as to those who love them. This is an open and inclusive group. EVERYONE is welcome. You do not have to be a member of a 12-step group to attend. It is offered as an adjunct — not a replacement — to regular addiction recovery work. The principles of safety and anonymity are upheld by Y12SR.

Ed Blouin
Ed began practicing yoga over eleven years ago as a way to round out an active fitness program. Over the years yoga has increasingly become a larger part of Ed’s exercise regime. In addition to the physical benefits of yoga, the mental and spiritual benefits keep Ed coming back for more. Ed enrolled in the Yoga Teacher Training at The Yoga House in 2017 with the intention of deepening his yoga practice and learning more about yoga. He teaches a Beginner Yoga class locally and enjoys sharing what he has learned about yoga with others. Ed has recently completed the Y12SR Leadership Training program with Y12SR founder, Nikki Meyers.
