Join us, Amy and Kim, as we talk about how yoga impacts our every-day lives.  We will share with you how we utilize the broader teachings of yoga to help us tackle every-day challenges that come our way, whether in our personal lives, or in our work lives.  Yoga teaches lessons beyond mats and poses, and in today’s episode we dig deep into those lessons!

Join Amy and Kim as we discuss the gifts we have been sharing this month on Instagram! Talk Yoga™ Articulation Poses! We also share some of our favorite poses, why we love them, and how they can be utilized to calm, strengthen, and /or energize. We also share some of our "lessons from the yoga mat" this week. We will be off for the holidays. Enjoy this wonderful time of year!

Join us, Amy and Kim, as we continue discussing how Talk Yoga can support social and emotional learning.  Today we share our thoughts on how yoga helps children build resilience.  It is so important to help young children learn how to manage challenges and discomfort.  Participating in challenging poses helps us overcome challenges in real life.  Introducing children to breathing strategies can help them cope with stressful times.  The use of mantras or positive self-talk can build self-esteem and resilience.  Lastly, yoga helps us build connections with others, which results in feelings of support and strength, especially during challenging times.  We have experienced this in our own lives and love sharing these strategies with our clients and fellow professionals.

Join us, Amy and Kim, as we discuss the benefits of using Talk Yoga™ techniques to support social and emotional learning. Approximately 35% of American children experience stress-related health problems. Using Talk Yoga™ we can help children (and ourselves) with skills such as emotional awareness and regulation which in turn impacts their ability to self-regulate and relate to others. We will share specific ways we address these skills during our sessions and classes. Enjoy!
