Join Amy and Kim for this inspiring conversation with Talk Yoga™ Certified Therapist Tori Seites-Rundlett.

She has a yogic heart and you will feel it as you listen to her journey through teaching yoga, providing speech and language therapy, and finding the Talk Yoga™ approach. Tori has discovered ways to infuse her own talents into the her Talk Yoga™ practice from singing, to ukulele playing, to new ways to guide children through savasana.

Join Amy and Kim as they discuss Amy's experiences sharing Talk Yoga™ with local in-home daycare and preschool programs. These programs are privately run and provide nurturing environments for children under the age of five. Many of the children in these programs have aged out of early intervention speech and language services, and Talk Yoga™ can provide needed opportunities to further boost and enrich articulation and language skills. These programs and their teachers/directors are serving young children in beautiful ways and we feel so lucky to be a sharing Talk Yoga™ with them!

In today's episode, we share information about the topics that are covered during our trainings as well as how you can become a Talk Yoga™ trained therapist!

Join Amy and Kim as we talk about teaching a Talk Yoga™ class!

Did you know we have a complete curriculum to help you plan and implement a Talk Yoga™ class? We are super excited to share all things Talk Yoga™ classes with you today!

We are so excited to begin our series of chats with Talk Yoga™ trained therapists. We are started off today with a wonderful conversation with Allison McBrien. She is a speech-lanuguage pathologist and trained yoga teacher. Allison found Talk Yoga™ after discovering a love for the practice of yoga in her own life. She has used Talk Yoga™ in her therapy in individual sessions and in groups in the school setting. Allison loves to use books and stories in her sessions and was looking for fun ways to share literature with her students of varying ages and interests...and use Talk Yoga™ too!, We learned so much from Allison and were able to share some ideas for how she can continue to incorporate Talk Yoga™ in her therapy sessions.

It has been a minute..or two! We are so excited to be back to discuss all things Talk Yoga™! In today's episode we share some exciting updates in our world...get excited! We also share some therapy experiences that we have had. Here is to a great upcoming season of Talk Yoga™ SLP!

On this week's episode, Kim and Amy discuss the valuable lessons they learn during their Talk Yoga sessions.  Using the Talk Yoga lens, we are always evaluating our client's needs.  We are asking "why" during our sessions and digging deep into foundational skills to help us better assist our amazing clients.  We see our clients as our teachers, and when we approach our therapy with this in mind the learning opportunities are endless.  From movement, to posture, to breathing, we discuss how using Talk Yoga principles enriches our therapy to help us provide fun, effective, and meaningful therapy.  

What is Talk Yoga?  We are asked this question all the time, and the truth is, our answer is different every time!  We are learning more and more with each Talk Yoga session what it is at that moment with that specific client.  Of course, as we have shared before, Talk Yoga is a therapeutic approach infusing speech and language therapy with the movement of yoga, AND it is individualized, fun, holistic, motor based, sensory based, and so much more!  Join us on today's episode as we share stories about specific clients that continue to teach us how to use the Talk Yoga lens to effectively assess and treat our amazing super star clients!
