This one 👆🏽🍂

As one of my elder teachers would say, “The breath makes you happy.” And he meant something deeper than a passing feel-good moment.

There’s a lot happening beneath the surface:

• Breathing brings in oxygen and carries carbon dioxide out.
• Slow breathing can help settle the body’s stress response.
• Pairing breath with focused attention creates space to soften, notice, and reconnect.

This month, as always, we’re linking breath with movement and becoming more aware of how we’re breathing, both on and off the mat. 🤍 taken in Spoga NJ by @spoganj

If you want to get to know yourself, get to know your breath…

This month, we’ll explore alternate-nostril breathing throughout our classes & bring it back to where it all began:

Morning Hatha Flow | a mid-week grounding practice for musculoskeletal alignment that pairs traditional postures with intentional breath & mindful pauses.

Welcoming new energy at SPOGA this fall. 🤍

I’m excited to welcome Dana and Jennifer - two deeply experienced practitioners who bring their own unique blend of movement, mindfulness, healing, and service into our space.

This season, look forward to thoughtfully sequenced intermediate-advanced level vinyasa flows, yin-inspired workshops, mindfulness offerings for teens, and opportunities to learn from new voices and perspectives.

All of the things 💫

Keep an eye out for our new Wednesday Workshop Series and all that is unfolding this September!

Some of my favorite moments this year have come from our Adaptive Yoga & Communication Program for Special Needs at SPOGA. 🦋🤍

Many of our students spend much of their day navigating constant movement, shifting attention, sensory input, and the demands of their environment.

Through movement, breath, sound, rhythm, and intentional connection, we create opportunities to slow down, orient, engage, and communicate in meaningful ways. 🧠✨

What may appear to be a simple turn with a singing bowl often supports:
✨ Auditory attention and processing
✨ Visual-motor coordination
✨ Joint attention and turn-taking
✨ AAC use for requesting, commenting, and choice-making
✨ Body awareness and self-regulation
✨ Social engagement and shared experiences with peers

One of my favorite parts of each class is watching students use their AAC devices to make selections, share preferences, and express what they are grateful for or excited about. Those moments of connection are always the most meaningful. 💗

The SPOGA Method is built on the belief that movement, breath, communication, regulation, and connection are not separate goals. They work together to support participation, confidence, and meaningful communication.

As this school year comes to a close, I find myself incredibly grateful for these students, their dedicated teachers, support staff, and the joy they brought into our studio each week.
Thank you, Phoenix Center, for a wonderful year of learning, growth, and connection. 🤍🕊️

Corporate Partnerships and Virtual Wellness with SPOGA. 📿

Our second workshop coming soon. With women tuning in from around the world.

A pause for breath. And a reminder that wellness is not indulgent, it’s essential.

Right now, so many women are carrying invisible cognitive and emotional loads: leadership, caregiving, performance, motherhood, transition, uncertainty, constant connectivity. The modern world asks women to be endlessly available while still remaining grounded, present, productive, and composed.

This workshop was created as a space to soften that pressure for a moment.

To remember that presence is power.
Grateful to continue this collaboration with women choosing to invest in themselves, their wellbeing, and the way they move through the world. 🤍

Saturdays 10:00 AM 🗓️

our beloved specialty class Tap, Flow & Breathe is back!

Check the schedule to save your spot. 🫶🏽

🪄
EFT Tapping has been shown in clinical studies to lower cortisol by up to 43%, regulate the amygdala, and support the nervous system in processing stress more effectively.

When you tap while pairing breath + mindful movement, you create a multisensory calming loop, activating both the emotional brain and the body’s vagal pathways 🧠

This combination improves emotional regulation, reduces anxiety, and supports clearer thinking in just one session.
That’s a really good ROI. 📈✨

Research shows EFT can also improve heart rate variability (HRV), which is directly tied to resilience and recovery.

✨ Why we practice it at SPOGA:
I was trained in this before I became an SLP, and it truly is a practice that stands the test of time.

Because shifting the body shifts the mind. And when you tap, breathe, and move together, you create an internal reset that carries into the rest of your week.

First class in this series is on Saturday and it’s the perfect grounding ritual for the month of December.
