What participants say

Y12SR training gave me the crucial skills I needed to hold a safe space for an all path recovery meeting. Nikki also gave substantial background and training in how to develop a yoga practice that would be of maximum benefit to the students; the importance of repetition and hold, the importance of the use of language, and the importance of rest. Y12SR meetings and yoga practices are unique and over the course of time the regular students come to regard them as a safe place to re-integrate and make friends with their body, as well as mind and spirit. This is a powerful combination of modalities and Nikki empowers us to lead them.
