A Training for Those Who Feel Called to Serve

This certification welcomes you if you’re walking a path of service—whether through teaching, healing, counseling, coaching, or your own recovery.

If you feel drawn to:

  • Grow personally while strengthening the way you serve

  • Integrate mind, body, and spirit through the Chakra–Step connection

  • Develop steady, grounded practices that support recovery

  • Lead with clarity, compassion, and embodied wisdom

  • Bring meaningful, Twelve Step aligned tools into your work or daily life

…then you belong here.

What Many Professionals & Seekers Are Feeling Right Now

Even the most dedicated teachers, counselors, and leaders supporting the recovery community often feel under-equipped in the mind–body–spirit department. You may have noticed:

  • People talk through the Twelve Steps, but rarely explore how those insights live in the body

  • Students and clients crave grounding, connection, and emotional steadiness—but traditional yoga classes aren’t designed for recovery needs

  • You know somatic work is powerful, yet you want a structured, ethical system that fits within recovery principles

  • Trauma-sensitive language matters deeply, and you want to feel confident using it

  • Your intuition tells you there’s more you could offer, but you want a clear framework that brings it all together

  • You sense a missing link between intellectual understanding and embodied integration

  • You want to support people in a way that honors the full spectrum of growth—physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual

And under all of that, maybe there’s a quiet inner nudge saying:
“There must be a more integrated, grounded, recovery-aligned way to do this.”

You’re right.
There is.
And that’s exactly why this certification exists.

What Becomes Possible Through This Certification

When you train in the Yoga4Sobriety™ Level One Core Curriculum, you’re not just learning information — you’re stepping into an embodied, spiritually aligned, recovery-rooted approach that expands both your professional capacity and your personal awareness.

Through this training, you will:

  • Develop a clear, structured way to integrate the Twelve Steps with the Seven Chakras

  • Strengthen your ability to support students and clients with grounding, emotional steadiness, and nervous system awareness

  • Gain tools that help people connect their recovery insights with what they feel in the body

  • Learn trauma-sensitive cueing that honors every person’s pace and autonomy

  • Build confidence in offering recovery-focused yoga practices that are ethical, safe, and aligned

  • Discover how to guide meaningful experiences that support transformation—not through force or “fixing,” but through presence, clarity, and skill

  • Cultivate your own inner steadiness, intuition, and energy awareness so you can lead from a grounded, heart-centered place

Ultimately, this certification helps you show up in your work with greater clarity, confidence, and a deeper sense of purpose — while offering tools that create meaningful, sustainable change for the people you serve.

Meet Your Trainer

I’m Gwen Rebbeck, founder of Yoga4Sobriety™ and a committed practitioner with over three decades in Twelve Step recovery.


Since 2013, I’ve dedicated my work to supporting individuals and professionals through a method that blends yoga philosophy, the chakra system, and the spiritual principles of the Steps.

My path in recovery taught me one essential truth: real change happens when the mind, body, energy, and spirit move together.
Yoga4Sobriety™ was born from that understanding.

As a yoga instructor, teacher trainer, educator, and guide, I’ve had the honor of working with:

  • Yoga teachers seeking trauma-sensitive tools

  • Counselors and clinicians wanting somatic practices

  • Recovery coaches and peer specialists

  • Wellness professionals integrating holistic approaches

  • Individuals on their recovery journey

  • Leaders looking to deepen their purpose and presence

Over the years, this work has grown into a full training pathway, a supportive community, an extensive curriculum, and a system that continues to evolve with care, integrity, and heart.

I lead this certification with a blend of professionalism, grounded spirituality, gentle humor, and lived understanding — because showing up authentically is part of how we serve.

You’re not just learning a method. You’re learning from someone who has walked the path, studied it deeply, and is committed to helping you feel steady, confident, and connected in your work.

Yoga4Sobriety 25-Hour Teacher Training, written and presented by Gwen R., is THE MOST comprehensive teacher training designed specifically for the recovery community.  The Zoom format, weekly asana practice, and well-put-together chakra and 12-step themed study materials provided an in-depth yet straightforward, hands-on approach to learning and teaching the material. I finished this training feeling well-equipped to build chakra-based and 12-step-themed yoga classes to share with my community.

Gwen’s passion and knowledge for the chakras and recovery community shine through in this well-balanced training.  If yoga, the chakras, and the recovery community interest you, Gwen’s Yoga4Sobriety 24-Hour Teacher Training is an absolute MUST.  I cannot wait to continue gaining knowledge and growing understanding through Gwen’s advanced training.
