Teaching Venues, Classes, & Schedule

I currently teach yoga at Yoga Lab Studio in State College, PA, and in the Kinesiology Department at Penn State. I am also available for private sessions.  Drop-ins are welcome at group classes and preregistration is encouraged for workshops.  If you are interested in scheduling a private session, please contact me.  Check my teaching schedule for a full listing of current offerings (scroll down to see future dates). 
Private Sessions
Personal yoga instruction is a great way to deepen your practice for both new and experienced practitioners.  Depending on your interests and needs, individualized yoga sessions may include a combination of yoga postures (asana), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation.  You will work at your own pace and have the opportunity to discuss questions and challenges.  You will learn how to modify postures to accommodate specific conditions/injuries.   I can also develop a home practice for you to do on your own.

Penn State Department of Kinesiology 
KINES 077, Yoga 1 (for registered PSU students only)
Yoga 1 is an introduction to the practices of yoga for physical and mental health and lifelong wellness.  This course involves a mixture of physical practice, lecture, and classroom discussion, including yoga postures (asana), breath-work (pranayama), meditation, philosophy, history, and applied personal practice. Beneficial techniques related to stress-reduction, mindfulness, and self-reflection are introduced as tools to utilize throughout life to support well-being.  The knowledge and applied practice throughout this course will provide a foundation for your participation in any yoga class, and will help you cultivate your own home yoga practice to continue outside of the classroom.  Almost all classes will include a physical practice.  Topics such as enhancing lifelong wellness, psychological wellbeing, use of breathing and meditation techniques, history, and philosophy will be integrated into the course throughout the semester.
