Gwen Rebbeck is a yoga educator, recovery advocate, and the Founder of Yoga4Sobriety LLC—a program that integrates the chakra system with the language and principles of Twelve Step recovery.

​

Gwen’s recovery journey began in 1991 and evolved over time as she recognized the need to address not only sobriety, but emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Through the integration of yoga and other wellness tools, she experienced a deeper sense of alignment and embodiment in her recovery. By 2013, this integrative approach had become a meaningful part of her personal practice and the foundation of her work with others.

​

Today, Gwen supports individuals in recovery—and those who love them—through yoga, breathwork, meditation, chakra-based self-inquiry, and related contemplative practices. Her teaching emphasizes embodiment, safety, and self-awareness, offering participants accessible ways to explore their inner experience without judgment.

​

At the heart of Gwen’s work is the integration of chakra-balancing yoga practices with Twelve Step recovery principles. Her classes and trainings create space for participants to deepen their relationship with their bodies, their recovery, and their understanding of a Higher Power or spiritual connection, as they define it.

​

Gwen was first introduced to yoga through breathwork and has continued to study and teach yoga as a supportive practice for recovery. Her approach meets students where they are, honoring a wide range of experience levels while fostering a sense of grounding, presence, and personal agency.

​

Through Yoga4Sobriety, Gwen also offers teacher trainings designed for yoga instructors, healers, and helping professionals who wish to support recovery-informed spaces. These trainings focus on bridging chakra-based practices with recovery language, helping educators guide others with clarity, sensitivity, and respect for the recovery process.

​

In addition to her teaching and training work, Gwen has brought Yoga4Sobriety into treatment and community settings. She currently teaches at Footprints to Recovery and has previously offered classes in treatment and recovery-support environments throughout New Jersey.

​

Before founding Yoga4Sobriety, Gwen created Twelve Beads in 2003, inspired by her prayer and meditation practice. For a decade, she designed and shared prayer beads and jewelry created specifically for individuals in Twelve Step recovery.

​

Gwen’s work is rooted in service and guided by the principle of sharing experience, strength, and hope—supporting recovery as a lived, embodied, and ongoing practice.
