Jude Bursten would have described herself as the least likely person ever to become a yoga practitioner, no less RYT200 certified. As would anyone who ever knew her, ever, Until that actually happened. “I didn’t know what I needed in order to ask for it, even if I could have asked for it.”

Today she uses that specific example to guide her life, not just her yoga practice. NeverSayNever.

Jude is a certified leader of Y12SR, a yoga practice based on spiritual principles of the 12 steps of recovery. This is a meeting, not a class. It is focused on self awareness using practical yoga interventions for moving energy in our bodies that live as “issues in our tissues.” Like the 12 steps, the meeting serves as a resource to create the space in our heart, mind and body necessary to change, be of service to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Jude is a graduate and practitioner of the Mona mantra: be yourself, everyone else is taken. Authenticity and integrity are the cornerstones of her message.

Y12SR is a donation based class. All proceeds support the provision of Y12SR programs in correctional facilities and institutions.

All participants, regardless of donation, will be asked to sign a liability waiver for insurance purposes.

This meeting is open to anyone in 12 step recovery. Out of respect for the studio and the personal recovery of those in attendance, we ask those in active addiction to refrain from attending.
