Bringing mindfulness and stress-relieving techniques to middle school.

Join us in June for $147. 🩵 Take the guesswork out of this and let your kids learn simple tools while they’re young.

🩵 Everyday I drop a 5-ish minute video into our platform and the kids interact with me for max engagement and coaching.

🩵 The kids learn breathing tools, anxiety & stress relieving techniques, mindset shifts, visualizations and more.

🩵 They learn how to choose their mood and believe good things can come easily to them.

🩵 They take a moment daily to relax and tune in, creating the ability to manage the ups and downs in life.

🩵 After each video they place a sticker on their chart to track 29 days of building a new habit.

🩵 They hop on Zoom with me at 5pm PST Sundays June 2nd and June 16th for live lessons.

🩵 You will receive the Zoom recording, so no pressure to make it live.

🩵 Option to upgrade to an additional private 1:1 zoom lesson at checkout.

You’ll only wish you did this sooner!

Most of the graduating 5th grade students in Beverly Hills, CA have been learning POGA with me since Kindergarten!

We are passionate about teaching the tools to kids young, so that it supports them in all stages of their lives.

A mindful moment I’ve been leaning into lately is shifting my energy:

Whenever I recognize that I don’t like the way I’m feeling (e.g. tired, overwhelmed, uninspired, etc) I know I need to SHIFT something in that moment.

I often will:
*set a timer for 20 mins and meditate in silence in a different room (wow, does this clear your mind!)
*go on a walk around the block with no technology, OR with some upbeat music, podcast, guided meditation (stops rumination)
*physically move my work space to a different room and light a candle (creates a new vibe)
*call a friend/family member to focus on them (rather than myself)
*schedule something that I can look forward to (a workout class, walk with a friend, a day trip)

It can be teeny, but the intuitive shift in that moment really works.

The same applies for kids. If I’m teaching a class or a private client, and they’re misbehaving or not understanding the concept, I can’t keep drilling it. I need to completely SHIFT my energy to support them needing something different.

Let me know what you guys think about this concept, and if you want me to talk about mindfulness more.

I love how this teacher incorporates a little POGA every day into their morning meeting! 👏👏👏

Retreat with me to for a holiday weekend of luxury and wellness.

I will be leading family classes, kids-only classes, a parent consulting master class, and beyond, to ensure a wellness-focused family retreat for .

I’m thrilled to partner with a destination that provides innovative holistic wellness in the Connecticut countryside to leave you feeling nurtured, grounded, and inspired to reach your full potential.

See you soon !

The name M and M Pilates came to me in 2014 when I knew I wanted to teach Pilates to kids. No one else was teaching it.

The M and M comes from:
Mary Montague
Mommy and Me
Meditation and Mindfulness

I’ve expanded a lot since 2014 in what we offer, but for now I’ve kept the name the same, although most people know our programming as “POGA” which is our fun combination method of Pilates + Yoga.

Grateful for this teacher’s reflection. 🙏 If you want to bring our programming to your school, send me a message!

In my digital era 🎥

This is a 1st grade classroom schedule posted on their whiteboard yesterday. How lucky am I to have my POGA method be part of their curriculum?! 🙌

POGA is unlike other yoga programs because it’s part of their school day, within their general classroom. It changes the culture of the classroom by making these skills a normal routine, and my students develop self-awareness, resilience, and focused transitions, all to benefit the academic environment and their overall well-being.

My students tangibly process their emotions through meditation and movement in a totally new way.

They learn these skills young so that it serves them in all stages of their lives.

Good morning Sunday. Skip the scaries. I’ve got you covered today and for the next 29 days of March.

Our mindfulness CALM coaching program begins today and it will have you feeling renewed for spring.

Daily coaching videos, accountability tracking, and twice weekly lessons (live or recorded). This is for kids so we make it FUN and we participate as a community together.

Kindergarten-5th graders.

Choosing this program will feel good now and you’ll continue to come back to these tools throughout your lifetime. It’s the basics that we all should know, but somehow most of us were never taught.

It’s like taking vitamins from a young age to set yourself up for good (mental, emotional, spiritual, physical) health.

Now’s your chance. I’m ready to teach you!
