Some Nice Things People Have Said

The 'Grace...Yoga & Recovery' DVD beautifully blends effective yoga techniques with recovery wisdom. Our minds are always seeking the peaceful place where our higher power can reach us even when we lack awareness of our needs. This DVD is a pathway to that place for one such as myself.

About Vicki Johnson

Vicki Johnson has been personally involved in 12-step and faith-based recovery since 1976. Her passion for recovery and gift for teaching the healing arts continues to bless the world we live in.

Vicki's recent collaboration with musician Shelly Niebuhr, produced a beautiful music and meditation CD entitled, Grace . . . Enhancing Recovery Through Prayer, Meditation, and Yoga. This wonderfully-soothing CD encourages and assists people in recovery to go deeper into their practice of prayer and meditation.

This past year, Vicki was honored to present Enhance Your Spiritual Connection: Prayer, Meditation and Yoga at Hazelden's Women Healing® Conferences around the U.S., helping women in recovery integrate the 12-Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous into their lives.

For almost thirty years now, Vicki has continuously studied with internationally recognized yoga teachers of various backgrounds, including traveling to India to deepen her yoga experience. It seemed only natural for her to become a yoga instructor, so in 1994, Vicki began teaching yoga.

She holds certification in Integrative Yoga Therapy, founded by Joseph Lepage, and Namasté International Yoga (based on Vanda Scaravelli’s innovative concepts), founded by Bill and Irene Beer.

Vicki holds a State of Texas License in Chemical Dependency Counseling (LCDC), and is a licensed Accudetox Specialist. She offers recovery coaching to individuals and families seeking a clean and sober lifestyle.

For over ten years, she's been training professionals in yoga and meditation. In 2003, Vicki co-founded the Namaste USA Yoga Teacher Training Program. She also created and implemented hatha yoga programs at the University of Texas at Dallas and Collin County Community College.

In an effort to bring the spirit of yoga to many groups in the community, Vicki offers specialized training for professionals in the chemical dependency and mental health fields as well as stress management programs for business and industry.

Vicki is a longtime resident of Richardson, Texas. She loves traveling, music, and knitting.
