Suzula Bidon. Suzula lives in long-term recovery from addiction, dedicated to smashing stigma and helping people thrive. She is an attorney, entrepreneur, yoga instructor (E-RYT 200), and Certified Peer Recovery, Specialist.

Bidon leads Recovery Yoga Meetings® in yoga studios and treatment facilities. She offers Recovery Yoga Teacher Training for yoga teachers, too.
Bidon knows from personal experience that addiction is a public health issue best addressed with treatment – not punishment. In her legal work, she specializes in expungements (sealing criminal records), consults on addiction-related policy, and educates legal professionals about addiction and the need for criminal justice reform.
Bidon volunteers her time for public service as well. She is a member of Minnesota’s Lawyers Assistance Program, Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers (LCL), where she sits on the Cases and Interventions Committee. Bidon is also the Chair of the Ramsey County Citizen’s Advisory Council Chemical Health Committee.
Bidon speaks and writes openly about her addiction, recovery, and the criminal justice system in various forums. She has testified at the legislature about sentencing guideline reform. She presents Continuing Legal Education seminars for legal professionals. She speaks in treatment centers and at events around the country. She has been featured in The Huffington Post, Star Tribune, and Forbes.com. Her article, “A New Call to Action: Lawyers and Addiction,” was published in the Jan/Feb 2017 issue of The Hennepin Lawyer.
