Great question! In my experience this is NOT common but I think it's helpful. Whatever works, works1 I'm glad you wrote "with" at 12-step program, rather than "instead of" a program. Yoga practice improves mindfulness, which is consisten with reducing the power of the ego and aiding in the task of of many of teh steps. Check out
The 12-Step Buddhist or many of the links to other Eastern-influenced books that you will find at that site. May you experience good fortune in your recovery.
