Trauma Informed Yoga with Taryn

Anywhere, Anytime.

There has never been a more important time to have the ability to access trauma informed practices – from home. Our body carries so much stress and trauma – which makes SHE RECOVERS® Trauma Informed Yoga a beautiful compliment to your recovery patchwork. One of our intentions and guiding principles is, “Recovery is a journey to wholeness. We learn to take care of our body, mind, emotions and spirit.”

Practice SHE RECOVERS® Trauma Informed yoga with Taryn from the comfort of your own home and on your own schedule. Membership includes unlimited access to a nourishing library of Taryn’s recorded themed classes – with new content added every month.

The class library consists of classes varying from 5 – 60 minutes so you can select a class that works best for your schedule. Each class is a different recovery related theme – allowing you to choose the class that resonates most with what you need in that moment.

Your membership also invites the opportunity to widen your recovery community as you will have access to a private Facebook group.

As a gift from us, we would like you to try the program for one month for free! After that, the monthly membership is $19.99 per month – less than one drop in yoga class at a studio. Every dollar of that goes to the Foundation – to support our mission to connect, support and empower women in or seeking recovery.

Why Yoga for Recovery?

Yoga is important because – as we state in one of our SHE RECOVERS Intentions & Guiding Principles – “Recovery is a journey to wholeness – we take care of our mind, body and spirit.”

In the west, we have become really good at addressing the mind and spirit when someone is on a path of recovery (talk therapy, 12 step programs, etc.), and those are wonderful approaches but they don’t address the body.

We can talk about a traumatic experience – over and over and over again – and it will can help tremendously. But, unless we release the the experience from the body, illness, chronic fatigue, dis-ease, autoimmune disorders may manifest. We also need to heal the body from the stress we put in through prior to recovery.

Yoga is a pathway to holistic healing and recovery. Join Taryn as she takes you on a gentle, trauma-informed journey of exploration that will help heal your body, mind and spirit.

“Taryn possesses such an amazing energy that is warm, welcoming and inclusive to all. She has THE BEST voice! Since moving away from Victoria I’ve never found a yogi who measures up to her – SO EXCITED FOR HER VIDEOS! I can’t wait to bring her into my living room!”

Hi! I’m Taryn.

I am a founder of the SHE RECOVERS® Foundation (with my mama, Dawn Nickel.) I am in recovery from substance use disorder, trauma, disordered eating, self- harm, codependency and all of the things that manifested as those things; shame, low self- worth, low self- esteem and being afraid of using my voice.

Today, I know, for a fact, that everything I have been through – every heartbreak, addiction, trauma, insecurity – was to bring me to exactly where I am in this moment. I love recovery.

I am a Trauma Informed Yoga instructor, SHE RECOVERS® Coach, aromatherapist, dōTERRA Wellness Advocate, silversmith and am currently studying herbalism. Since I began teaching yoga in 2007, I have led over 40 yoga for recovery retreats (including a retreat at Kripalu), presented at several Yoga conferences, and have co-taught alongside Elena Brower. You can find my online SHE RECOVERS® Yoga classes HERE. Most recently, I created and taught the inaugural trauma informed SHE RECOVERS® Yoga Teacher Training Program and began hosting the SHE RECOVERS® Podcast.

Shelly Dimitrijevic

Shelly Dimitrijevic’s professional and philanthropic activities have always focused on improving the lives of others. She began her nursing career at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital in St. Louis and went on to become a LifeFlight nurse specializing in neonatal, pediatric, and cardiovascular intensive care.

Shelly has been involved with numerous charities focusing on children and education including the Charlee and the Chocolate Factory gala, The Venus Orbit, Design For A Cure, Jackson Memorial, and Impact Oasis. In 2010 she founded the Lotus program, a program that focused on educating parents on the nutritional needs of children and basic child development. Shelly also served on the Frost Science Museum gala committee for 7 years before Co-Chairing the event in 2015.

After a diagnosis of Celiac disease and subsequently receiving Certification as a Nutritional Consultant, Shelly recognized that topically applied products have an effect on her Celiac Disease and overall health. She turned her focus to developing skincare that was free of toxic and hormone-disrupting ingredients.

Since she lost her only sibling in 2012 Shelly has been determined to find a way to contribute to the recovery community in a way that can make a great impact and ensure that others have the resources necessary when they are struggling.

Shelly’s substantial contributions to SHE RECOVERS of both time and resources have been instrumental and deeply appreciated.

Kirsten Newquist

As a result of being introduced to SHE RECOVERS through retreats and meet-ups, Kirsten will be starting her yoga teacher training in the fall. These retreats also led her to become more deeply involved with SHE RECOVERS in a volunteer capacity. Kirsten was instrumental in setting up some of the Foundation’s grassroots groups and currently volunteers her time helping SHE RECOVERS Foundation to design and implement the Volunteer Chapter Network.

Kirsten and her husband recently moved from Southern California to Roswell, Georgia to be closer to Kirsten’s sister and two young nieces. When she isn’t spending time being an aunt, you can find Kirsten hanging out with their rescue Labrador or exploring their new state.

Mary Beth O’Connor

Mary Beth is a founding member of SHE RECOVERS Support for Legal Professionals and is active at the local level with SHE RECOVERS in the Bay Area. Mary Beth has been living a sober life in recovery for over 26 years. She also has a history of trauma and abuse, from which she’s worked hard to recover as well. 6 years into her recovery, Mary Beth attended Berkeley Law. She worked at a large firm in Silicon Valley, then litigated class actions for the federal government. In 2014 Mary Beth was appointed an Administrative Law Judge. She recently retired, so she could devote her time to completing her writing and being more active in the recovery community.

She regularly speaks on behalf of LifeRing and develops relationships with organizations supportive of the multiple pathways approach. In August 2020, Mary Beth had an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal, I Beat Addiction without God, where she described building a personal recovery plan by combining ideas from LifeRing, Women for Sobriety, and Narcotics Anonymous. In November 2020 she had an op-ed published in the Philadelphia Inquirer, I was a federal judge, and I support Safehouse. Here’s why. She is currently working on a full-length memoir.

Taryn Strong

Taryn Strong is a founder of SHE RECOVERS® Foundation as well as a trauma-informed yoga instructor, recovery coach, aromatherapist, and herbalist (and daughter to Mama Dawn). Taryn has developed a unique yoga retreat program and led over 40 yoga for recovery retreats since 2012. She is also the host of the SHE RECOVERS Podcast and most recently created and taught the inaugural trauma-informed SHE RECOVERS Yoga Teacher Training Program. Operating from a trauma-informed lens and a firm believer in anti-oppressive practices, Taryn brings an empathic and invitational approach to healing – empowering women to find and follow individualized pathways and patchworks of recovery.

Taryn’s courageous vulnerability and passion for recovering out-loud has made her an influential voice in the global recovery movement – smashing the stigma often associated with substance use and mental health issues. Taryn creates and lives with her beloved and two dogs within the ancestral and unceded traditional territory of the Hul’qumi’num and SENĆOŦEN speaking peoples (Saltspring Island).

Susan Carter

Susan is an architect of hope and healing with over 30 years of experience in providing executive-level leadership to heart-centered teams in the non-profit realm. Since joining SHE RECOVERS® Foundation as Executive Director in April 2020, Susan continues to weave her experience with her passion to help other women receive what she has been so graciously given – long-term recovery from substance use disorder, body image issues, codependency, perfectionism, and moral injury.

Susan’s work in the treatment industry quickly revealed how stigma kept women struggling with mental health issues and addiction from seeking help, and the lack of resources available to them once they did. Having served as a founding employee of Susan G. Komen for the Cure for 20 years, playing an integral role in creating the global grassroots movement that changed the way breast cancer is talked about and treated, she felt called to utilize that experience to do the same for women struggling with mental health and substance use disorders.

Celebrating more than 27 years of continuous sobriety, Susan is a Certified Peer Support Worker (CPSW) in the state of New Mexico to provide resources and peer support to those in or seeking recovery. She lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico with her fur family of four, Alex, Chaco, Bodhi, and Gracie.

Dawn Nickel

Dawn Nickel, Founder of SHE RECOVERS® Foundation, is a thought leader in the women’s recovery sphere as well as an accomplished leader, dedicated researcher, and visionary in the recovery moment. She holds a Ph.D. in health care policy with extensive experience in researching and writing about women experiencing substance use disorders, mental health challenges, and intimate partner violence. Dawn started her own journey of recovery from a substance use disorder and domestic violence in 1987. She is also in recovery from anxiety, grief, trauma, overworking, and cancer. Dawn’s tell-it-like-it-is wisdom has created a ripple effect where you will often hear her quotes “the shit you did is just the shit you did – it’s not who you are” and “recovering from all the things” resonating throughout many recovery realms.

Currently working on her first book, Dawn is living proof that in a world where all women in or seeking recovery are celebrated, supported, and deemed essential to healthy communities – anything is possible. She is fondly referred to as Mama Dawn in the SHE RECOVERS Community and to her daughters Taryn and Ashley. Dawn lives, works, and plays with her beloved grandchildren on the traditional territories of the Lkwungen speaking peoples on Vancouver Island.
