Next Group Starts: June 2025

If you're seeking healing beyond simply "giving up a drink" — if you’re craving deep spiritual support, meaningful community, and a path to awakening as you walk your sober journey — you are exactly where you’re meant to be.

Return to Self: A Yoga Sutra Journey is a powerful small group experience for women at the beginning of, or already walking on, their sober journey.

This is more than recovery —


It’s a path of spiritual rebirth, using the ancient wisdom of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras to guide you home to yourself.

Drawing from over a decade of studying and teaching the Yoga Sutras, participating in multiple alcohol-free programs and communities, and exploring various healing modalities, I created this program to weave together the most powerful principles and practices that helped me truly heal.

This is the spiritual support and soul family I wish I had during the early years of my alcohol-free journey —
And now, I offer it to you.

WHAT THIS JOURNEY LOOKS LIKE

Over twelve weeks, we will walk together through the 12 Practices of Yoga Sutra Healing — a sacred pathway of self-inquiry, daily sādhana (spiritual practice), and deep community connection.

Each week, you will receive:

  • A group teaching on a Yoga Sutra principle

  • A guided yoga or meditation practice

  • A sharing circle to reflect, connect, and grow together

You’ll move through three transformational modules:

🌺 THIS JOURNEY IS FOR YOU IF....

🌿 You are beginning your sober journey, or walking it, and feel called to spiritual support.
🌿 You know sobriety is about more than not drinking — it's about returning to your true Self.
🌿 You are ready to explore ancient wisdom to heal not just your habits, but your heart and spirit.
🌿 You desire compassionate, personalized, one-on-one support as you grow.

You do not need to be an experienced yogi.
You only need the willingness to begin — with an open heart, and a spark of hope.

A PERSONAL INVITATION FROM ME....

"Return to Self is the program I created after over a decade of living, studying, and teaching the Yoga Sutras, working through my own recovery from alcohol, and exploring many healing traditions.
I distilled the most powerful lessons, practices, and spiritual principles that helped me awaken to my true Self — so I could offer them to women like you.
You don't have to walk this path alone.
If you feel called to a deeper, steadier, spiritually-grounded sobriety, I would be honored to walk alongside you."
