NamaStay Sober Challenge

Jan 31, 2021 ● By Susan Wood

NamaStay Sober is holding their 4th annual Sobruary (Sober February) Challenge. Whether someone is already in recovery, sober-curious or just looking to swap a misused habit for something healthy like meditation or yoga, NamaStay has resources that can help.

NamaStay Sober is a nonprofit organization founded in 2015 by Nico Longo after the loss of a friend to opioid addiction. Based in Massachusetts with community chapters in other states, the mission is to aid those in recovery by reconnecting the body and mind through affordable yoga, fitness, meditation and wellness-focused community events.

“It is difficult to put into words how grateful I am for @namastaysober. In its infancy, NamaStay provided solace in a time when I was grieving the loss of a dear friend to addiction. Over time, it developed into a place where I felt safe to share about my own struggles with an eating disorder,” Longo explains. “Eventually, it led me to discover a community of like-minded individuals that support one another through healthier outlets such as yoga and meditation so that we all may live a life of more freedom, self-expression and peace. The essence of this year’s Sobruary Challenge is just that—supporting each other in discovering what we put in the space that sobriety creates.”
