White Flag Retreats
Kimberly Thompson is the Founder and leader of White Flag Recovery Yoga and Retreats in Charleston, SC. She’s had the pleasure of leading weekly Y12SR meetings and retreats in Charleston since 2017. She holds a YTT300 and has earned hundreds of additional hours of study through workshops and other teacher trainings with wise and wonderful teachers.
She studies the wisdom of the body through the healing arts of somatic release, the teachings and philosophies of Yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the 12 Step program.
Kimberly has built a sustainable and long term platform for recovery. It is this practice and passion that she loves to share with others through her classes, workshops and events.
What is White Flag?
White Flag is open to anyone touched by addiction either personally or by someone we know. Which is all of us!
White Flag combines discussion, asana, pranayama and meditation to explore addiction and recovery within the body/mind continuum.
We weave together the wisdom of yoga and the practical tools of 12-step programs. It is a rich and powerful framework designed to inspire compassionate awareness, change and healing.
These retreats are a chance for you to step back and withdraw from the frenzied, frenetic, sometimes monotonous rhythm of our modern life. In this space we have the opportunity to bring the gaze inward. THIS is yoga.
What to expect
We believe in creating a sacred space for all to share, learn and grow. What goes on here stays here!
White Flag believes in Retreats with a purpose!
And also plenty of time to rest, and nurture.
Our signature process is known as UDDR™ Uncover, Discover, Discard, Recover.
We use this methodology in uncovering the veils that cloud us form our true nature.
Through meaningful self inquiry exercises, discussion, workshop and movement, we will Uncover, Discover, Discard and Recover. You will leave this experience cleared and decluttered.
