Talk Yoga SLP

Join Amy and Kim as they discuss a recent in-person training in Navarre, Florida. Across the Board Therapy Group hosted Talk Yoga for an incredible training where SLPs, OTs, and ABA therapists were able to learn together. Integrated therapy not only benefits our clients, but it is beneficial for the clinicians! The Talk Yoga™ method naturally allows for integration of disciplines and Across the Board Therapy Group is ready to see these benefits first hand! Is your clinic or therapy group next? We would love to come bring the Talk Yoga™ method to you!

Join us, Amy and Kim, as we chat with the amazing Rose Griffin from ABA Speech.  Rose is a speech-lanugage pathologist and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).  She truly brings a unique perspective to the field of speech and language therapy.  We loved talking with her to help bridge the gap between the disciplines of speech and language therapy and applied behavioral analysis.  You can learn more about Rose on her website: https://abaspeech.org/, and you can follow Rose on instagram @abaspeechbyrose and on Tik Tok @abaspeech. Enjoy!

Join us, Amy and Kim as we continue to discuss how Talk Yoga™ supports neurodivergent individuals.  In our last episode we discussed how we have seen autistic individuals benefit from Talk Yoga™ tools and techniques.  Today for our lunch and learn we continue the conversation and share how we have used Talk Yoga with our neurodivergent clients.  

Join us, Amy and Kim as we discuss how Talk Yoga™ can be utilized with autistic individuals.  We are often asked if Talk Yoga™ has been successfully implemented with our autistic clients, and the answer is yes!  We will discuss how yoga “redirects” the functioning of the frontal lobe, which is often affected in autism, and in other populations such as those with ADHD.  We refer to an article published in the International Journal of Yoga Therapy, which examines the uses of a yoga program with autistic children and the benefits they discovered.  You can find the article here: https://www.peacefulpathwaysyoga.com/pdfs/Yoga-Research-Integrated-Movement-Therapy.pdf.

Enjoy!

Join us, Amy and Kim for our first Instagram Live of 2026! Today we discuss what a typical preschool Talk Yoga class looks like. We love sharing Talk Yoga in the early childhood environment and our preschool classes are engaging and always provide our youngest learn to express, play, and learn!

Join us, Amy and Kim for our second Instagram Live and our Friday Lunch and Learn.  Today we discuss how we address the benefits of using Talk Yoga to address social and emotional learning.  Enjoy!

Join us, Amy and Kim as we go live on Instagram for the first time! We know, we know, people have been doing this for a while now, and we are joining in on the fun! Our first "live" was all about answering your questions about Talk Yoga!

Join us, Amy and Kim as we review how the unique approach of Talk Yoga™ brings communication and movement together to allow children to express, play and learn.  We are so grateful to be among the world of yoga for children and appreciate the unique approaches these many programs provide.  With Talk Yoga, we are layering our movement with speech and language to teach children how to make specific speech sounds, how to use new vocabulary, how to expand language, and how to express different feelings or sensations that arise in the body when participating in various movements, flows, and breathing practices.  Additionally, we are helping young children learn to listen to their bodies, to learn when they need to rest, when they need to feel calm, or when they need more energy..  And don’t forget how Talk Yoga™ is a gift to the teacher, therapist, or parent.  These techniques are for you too!  

Join us, Amy and Kim as we discuss how to be present using principles of yoga and methods from the practice of Talk Yoga™. As therapists or teachers, we always have a plan, but often our students have a very different plan!  Amy and Kim share tips about how to stay present, “read the room” and modify lesson plans to meet the needs of their students.  Often, a simple pause followed by a few deep breaths is all you need…followed by a few donkey poses!  Enjoy this conversation and just be!  

Join us, Amy and Kim as we discuss how Amy has incorporated Tibetan Singing Bowls in her Talk Yoga preschool classes and individual speech and language sessions.  Bringing sound and music into your classes and therapy sessions can provide valuable opportunities for speech and language enrichment!  If you are interested in purchasing your own Tibetan Singing Bowls you can find the set Amy has at this link.
