Recovery Kundalini Yoga

Recovery Kundalini Yoga
Guided by Karn Junkinsmith, Recovery Kundalini weaves the cognitive tools of the 12-step programs with the somatic and sound basics of Kundalini yoga, moving us into freedom and serenity.
Addictive behaviors as defined by 12-step programs are three-fold, affecting body, mind and spirit:
-A phenomenon of craving
-A mental obsession
-A spiritual sickness
NOT simply a substance use ‘disorder.”
Kundalini yoga yokes all three sides of the recovery triangle with
-Pranayama (breath/spirit)
-Kriyas (movement/body)
-Kirtan (chanting/mind)
-Gong sound baths (rest/healing integration)
All are welcome. Pay what you can .
