My intention is to do the annoying admin tasks this week that I’ve been putting off 🫠 …new health insurance, a trademark… I got this! 🙏 💪

Fun to do an IRL sauna sess!

#events-and-visibility-opps - October 30, 2025 at 03:44 PM

I’m there 4 weeks a year!

For NYC Parents:

Starting November 4th, The Mindful Family Method is coming to the West Village—five weeks designed to give you what you need most: space to breathe, tools that work, and a community that gets it.

This is for the parent who knows they need to slow down but doesn't know how. Who loves their family fiercely but feels depleted. Who craves calm but doesn't have the time or tools to create it.

Here's what's different:
🍵 Weeks 1-3 are just for you. No kids, no distractions—just guided mindfulness, warm tea, and the restoration you've been craving.
Weeks 4-5, your children and teens join you to practice together what you've been learning.

Led by me, after 19 years of experience with your children and rarely a moment to teach parents themselves, I'll show you how to incorporate mindfulness and wellness at home to feel natural, not rigid.

This is where luxury meets mindfulness meets real family life. Where you get to feel good first, so everyone else can too.

Tuesdays 7:00 - 8:00pm
At Finch: 325 West 11th Street
$265 for all 5 weeks.
RSVP: mary@thepogamethod.com|mary@thepogamethod.com

Please share with any parents who may be craving this! ✨

#asks-offers-advice - September 12, 2025 at 11:57 PM

@Nao Yukawa You can call Alisha: I worked with her on an easy 2 hour video shoot in Brooklyn 1.5 years ago. She is young but has a studio space + did videography and editing. Could work out for a quick turn around! I would hire her again

#intros - September 09, 2025 at 02:07 AM

@Stefanie Broes has a breathing tool called Moonbird! I also love my Hatch alarm clock and Walden meditation cushion (I partner with Walden but I am a legitimate fan)

#intros - July 29, 2025 at 04:09 AM

Congrats on the London move!!

#intros - July 25, 2025 at 05:49 AM

Nice to see you here, Carrie! Love following your journey

#asks-offers-advice - July 23, 2025 at 04:25 PM

Awesome info; thank you

#asks-offers-advice - July 23, 2025 at 04:23 PM

Wow so helpful!

#asks-offers-advice - July 22, 2025 at 01:00 AM

All parents - here’s a FREE video “Rainbow Meditation” I created for kids/families. It’s under 5 mins. Chakra-corresponding affirmations. 🌈

#asks-offers-advice - July 22, 2025 at 12:57 AM

Yes, open to all folks!
I’ve found that private schools often have the autonomy to bring in extra programming of their choice, more so than public schools. However, my program is established in the Beverly Hills Unified School District which is public, though with extra parent-fund raised for programs like mine.
Open to all conversations! Thank you in advance

#asks-offers-advice - July 20, 2025 at 04:16 PM

Thank you Adam!

Happy Sunday! WGM’ers in NYC or with connections in New York -

I’m looking to have conversations with administrators and teachers who work in NYC private schools. Can anyone make a warm intro?

I’ve built my “POGA” program for kids and teens in Beverly Hills, CA and LA schools over the past decade with much success, so being new to NYC, I want to learn/better understand what they need most, if they already have similar programs, or need support.

We bring 30 min lessons into the classroom, incorporating movement, meditation, and mindfulness.

Every adult says, “I wish I learned this when I was a kid!”

Any intros to nyc private schools, so helpful! 🙏

#intros - July 20, 2025 at 04:12 AM

Welcome <@U096EDH3AN9> !

#asks-offers-advice - July 20, 2025 at 04:02 AM

Yes lots of ideas on this @Yuli Ziv ! Look forward to chatting 😊

#asks-offers-advice - July 19, 2025 at 03:16 AM

I met the founders behind @doublesoul socks https://www.instagram.com/doublesoul?igsh=ZXpuM2x5cmNieXUx if anyone wants an intro let me know. They do fitness grip socks etc for your brand. Pete Davidson is their creative director.

#events-and-visibility-opps - July 19, 2025 at 02:47 AM

Late response <@U08HDEF4CN4> but Silver Springs Melrose is a fantastic heated mat Pilates/yoga studio I am a big fan of. Olivia is the owner and they do partnerships. I just went to a class where they partnered with Sweetgreen’s summer menu. They might be interested! Super friendly team.

#intros - July 19, 2025 at 02:26 AM

Very interested in supporting retreats/corporate clients that include family wellness (activations including kids/teens/whole family), if that’s of value to you <@U096JKZHEDP> I have a decent parent following in LA on IG @thepogamethod
