“I’m convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere.” - Maya Angelou

Did you know that the concept of The Leadership Studio was born around a dinner table in Nairobi, Kenya over ten year ago + it was inspired by this guy…. who will be leading COMMUNITY CLASS this Saturday at 9:30am?!

It’s with great joy that we welcome Samson Muhalia back to New Jersey! It’s Samson who encourages us to really look around, in our home community… see the need around you + roll up your sleeves.

SCIENCE x SERVICE x HUMAN SPIRIT

After building 350 homes for Habitat for Humanity, facilitating hundreds of builds like shelter, schools, orphanages, and more… he noticed something in 2019 that changed everything:

Million of Kenyans are still susceptible to completely preventable life-threatening water borne diseases everyday. And then, Humanure Kenya came to be.

Samson + is team turn p**p into possibility. ♻️

With their sanitation station builds, they have already provided years of safety and heath security in villages all across rural Kenya. Their composting toilet model naturally breaks down waste and eliminates dangerous viruses and bacteria - resulting in organic fertilizer… which is the safely returned to local soil, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and protecting water sources.

Samson teaches us to do what we can, with what we can, where we can…. And that we can all make a difference.

Come meet Samson, learn about Humanure Kenya… and stay for a shared meal provided by Hard Rock Atlantic City!

Yoga is relational work. And so is recovery.

The communities we build when we get sober, and the relationships we nurture to stay sober, remind us that we were never meant to do this work alone.

Intentional breathwork, movement, and self-inquiry give us opportunities to recognize our patterns, interrupt the ones that no longer serve us, and practice being in choice around how we show up in our lives.

Because the work isn’t just about what happens on the mat. It’s about what becomes possible beyond it.

Every week, through The Leadership Studio, we steward spaces for individuals in recovery to practice these tools, build meaningful relationships, and create a foundation for sustainable sobriety.

And that’s why this work matters.

We believe access to transformational practices, education, and community should not be limited by someone’s circumstances. We believe in creating spaces where people are seen, supported, challenged, and reminded of what’s possible for their lives.

But community isn’t something we simply benefit from. It’s something we are responsible for building, nurturing, and sustaining together.

The impact of this work extends far beyond our four walls. Into families, relationships, workplaces, and the communities our students return to.

And just as recovery is sustained through relationship, so is this mission.

This is your invitation to be in the work with us.

Whether you practice with us, share our mission, introduce someone to our programming, or become a recurring donor, you are participating in something bigger than any one of us.

Your support creates access, sustains our teaching team, and makes it possible for us to continue showing up for the people who need these spaces.

Because when we invest in people, we invest in what becomes possible for entire communities.

💥 Learn about the work, the people, and the impact you’re helping make possible. https://youtu.be/3qRDBCYJDVY?si=jg0bL2oXLrE9ZLB2

This morning, Mae walked on behalf of The Leadership Studio and Grace & Glory Yoga at the Out of the Darkness Walk by the American Federation for Su***de Prevention.

The experience was not heavy and somber like you may expect; rather, it was uplifting, cheerful, and hopeful. Everyone gathered at the walk this morning was there for the same reason: because each of us had been affected by su***de in some way and desire to break the stigma associated with it. We walked to release guilt, to move from a place of gratitude, and to envision a hopeful future for those who have struggled with mental health and their family members.

The Leadership Studio exists as a safe space for you if you are processing any kind of grief or experiencing mental health-related issues yourself. Know that our doors are open for you, exactly as you are. The act of gathering with other human beings like we did today is powerful, which is why we do so everyday at TLS.

This week, we were invited to the Atlantic City Gathering Ground: Call to Collaboration - a space where leaders, organizations, and community members come together to ask better questions, share real insight, and build what’s next… together.

Because real change doesn’t happen in isolation.
It happens through connection, in rooms like this
& we’re just getting started.

There is no separation between how we move, how we lead, and how we care for our mental health.

We are honored to share that our Founder, Allie Nunzi, has been named a Mental Health Champion by Mental Health America— a recognition that reflects not just one voice, but an entire community committed to doing this work, together.

At Grace & Glory Yoga, The Leadership Studio, and ALGN we don’t treat mental health as an afterthought or a talking point.
It is embedded in how we teach, how we gather, and how we lead.

Because mental health doesn’t live only in the mind—
it lives in the body, in the breath, in our conversations, in our spaces, in the way we hold ourselves and one another.

As a designated Stigma-Free organization, and now as proud partners within the Mental Health Association network—both here in New Jersey and nationwide— we deepen our commitment to creating spaces where you are met fully, exactly as you are.

This is the work: to regulate, to relate, to restore…. build communities where people feel safe enough to be fully human.

We’re just getting started. Check back for upcoming programs and events.
