Nikki is credited with coining the phrase "the dis-ease of the lost self" to best describe codependency. In this episode she shares how Yoga is essential to the "inside job." of recovery from codependency, a relational pattern of relying on other people or things for a sense of validation. "The issues are in the tissues," Nikki says, describing how Yoga restores balance and regulates the nervous system. She also says there's ``something for all of humanity" in the 12 steps.
