Welcome to
Yoga for Speech! |
Congratulations you have found yourself at Yoga for Speech,
a new and innovative way to treat fluency and other speech
and language disorders.
Yoga for Speech was designed by
Selene Gatzonis, a speech-language pathologist / yogi to
help individuals achieve their goals. 2014 was a very
exciting year for us... we completed our pilot study and had
fantastic results! ALL our participants saw an improvement
in their fluency, AND enjoyed the experience. 2014 brought
some more exciting news, our research won the New York State
Speech-Language and Hearing Association’s (NYSSLHA) Graduate
Student Scholarship. This was a great honor to be recognized
and truly inspiring.
What our previous participants are saying:
-I had taken yoga classes in the past but never with the
sole intent of following my breath. The yoga for stutterers
class really helped me to understand how the breath flows
and being aware of my breath has now become a goal of mine.
I’m excited to continue this practice.

-Yoga for stuttering is a must. The class with a long
vibrating om’s and mantras was the special one for me, loved
it. Videos were helpful and professional. State of mind,
body, perspectives, everything updates, refreshes and
simplifies in a positive way. A.K.

-My experience with Selene was extremely pleasant! As a
yoga neophyte, I felt very calm & centered which allowed me
to focus on my breathing, my thoughts and my poses. What was
most insightful, was recognizing the connection w/ breathing
and stuttering which was useful when striving for fluency. I
often referenced them during conversations w/ my friends or
colleagues. Lastly, the practice video yoga routine was a
thoughtful gesture offered as it helped me keep up with my
routine to perfect my form! I would definitely recommend.

We are actively recruiting new participants for our research
