Benita Mayo is an incredible woman. A teacher of yin yoga, not only for physical wellness, but also for the healing of trauma and enhancement of 12-Step programs, and much more. Benita takes the compassion she has slowly learned to give herself and spreads it out over everything she does. You will love this episode. According to her website BenitaMayo.com "During one of many diet and exercise endeavors, Benita was introduced to yoga by her personal trainer. She was drawn to yoga for its physical benefits but didn't expect it would completely transform her life. Yoga was the doorway through which Benita began to develop a deeper and more positive relationship with her body. She completed her Yoga Teacher training in 2016 and has additional certifications in Mindfulness Meditation, Trauma Informed Yoga, Y12SR – Yoga for 12-Step Recovery, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Accessible Yoga and Yoga for All. Benita uses her experience as both a larger-bodied yoga student and her teacher expertise to partner with her students in creating a welcoming and inclusive environment. The subject of yoga accessibility and body image is very complex. Benita offers her voice to encourage others to take up space on their yoga mat and stand in their power. Benita is a native of Virginia and holds an undergraduate degree in Rhetoric & Communications from the University of Virginia. Benita is a fine art photographer, and enjoys traveling and biking." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thegeode/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thegeode/support

Allie K. Campbell, host of the Youtube Channel Allie K Campbell, previously Young Dumb and Sober, talks about how Covid-19 and the coronavirus helped her to lean into different recovery paths more than she would have been able to normally. She talks about how quarantine had the surprising impact of bringing her closer to Alcoholics Anonymous, where she is now actively seeking out more queer-affirming meetings. We talk about our journey with A.A., what it's like to have people say you have "terminal uniqueness," and horoscopes. Some resources shared were Recovery 2.0 and Y12SR (Yoga 12 Step Recovery). We also discuss our personal experiences with ADHD in recovery and what our journeys have been thus far. Please follow Allie on Instagram @alliekcampbell, and subscribe to her Youtube channel, linked below! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEmtGV2wsa6Y70J5l2VZ-_w 

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.

  Introduction 2:30 Putting part of yourself on a pedestal and ignoring the less appealing aspects stops you from integrating yourself as yoga requires. Nikki’s Y12SR program helps people re-align and re-integrate parts of themselves. All parts of ourselves is important. 6:15 Y12SR is the melding of yoga and 12 step programs and helps primarily in giving tools for preventing relapses.. If a person has recognised a need to change, they may go into rehab and then go to Y12SR meetings. Others may start one of the 12 step programs and find it not helpful for them and then come to Y12SR programs as an alternative. Y12SR could be the first step if they are in the investigating what they want to change in their life that is causing a problem. 9:19 Populations in Y12SR: community-based place after rehab or other programs. See people who have not stayed with 12 step programs and addiction has ramped up. People with a yoga practice but recognise that some part of their life is hampering their goals in yoga. 11:45 Adjunct tool and provides tools to identify a relapse. Y12SR is a combination of the cognitive (12 step) and the somatic (yoga). Yoga practice includes at a minimum asana, breathing, and meditation. Brings people back to the body which will tell you if your life is unbalanced. Mind justifies, makes excuses but body will tell you if something is wrong. Body wants homeostasis and under every addiction is an unresolved trauma. Trauma lives in the body. Get back into the body to feel sensations. With addictions, become less aware of the body. Avoid body and feelings. 16:31 Y12SR meetings have two parts; a discussion/group meeting and a yoga class.  Start with goals, 12 steps, ground rules to create a safe space. Have a topic, sharing by group members on topic. Trauma informed themed yoga practice (12 steps look very much like yamas and niyamas). Make our intentions stronger than our dysfunctional patterns. 21:45 People who are affected by other addictive patterns may also attend. Everyone is welcome in Y12SR to gain insights. More than 200 different kinds of 12 step programs. All addicts may attend; there is something else under the addiction that is the real cause. People affected by other’s addictive behaviour can talk about how it affects them, which the addict can hear directly how addictions affect others.   28:22 Y12SR offers a study intensive online. People take it who want to inquire into yoga in combination with 12 step program. Look at how the 2 progams complement each other. Study yoga philosophy, trauma healing, neuroscience, etc. Another offering is Leadership training (face-to_face) taken after the study intensive  to prepare yoga teachers or addiction recovery specialists to take the Y12SR program back to their communities and offer Y12SR meetings. (www.y12sr.com to find out more). 33:10 Another offering of Y12SR is Breaking barriers : transforming the samskara of co-dependency. Teaches the sacred texts of yoga, kleshas, etc. All addicted to the way we process our reality – essential to enquire into our conditioned minds. Deep look at the conditioned minds. Co-dependency is looking outside of self for something that can only be found inside.  Buying “those shoes” will make me a different and better person.

Sasha Tozzi is a recovery lifestyle coach, a Y12SR (Yoga for 12 Step Recovery) instructor, a Reiki practitioner, and a writer. She helps individuals with physical and emotional sobriety, self-sabotage, and codependent relationships. As a teenager, Sasha suffered from clinical depression and social anxiety. When she found alcohol, she thought it was the answer to all her problems. Later, she coupled her binge drinking with an addiction to cocaine, which led her to nights of blacking out, reckless behavior, and a shame cycle she could not escape. Sasha eventually accepted the fact that she had a problem, and got help, but that wasn't the end of her journey. After she got sober, she discovered she had deeper problems with food and codependency underneath it all.  Listen to Sasha's empowering story of how she took ownership of her recovery and how she now helps other people to do the same.
