Join us for this one of a kind Yoga Alliance registered 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training program. A solid foundation in alignment and anatomy coupled with practical strategies to help students of all levels feel confident, and an in depth exploration of the 8 limbs of yoga give you the confidence you need to find your own voice as a teacher.
Our weekend only format allows you to reach your goals without a significant impact to your family and/or job. The full year format provides ample time to integrate, practice, study, receive support and grow both as a person and a teacher. (We meet one weekend a month for a full year.)
From a former graduate:
"I have been practicing yoga for many years and knew that a YTT would deepen my understanding and commitment but I did not know how completely transforming this program would be. I am amazed how quickly and how deeply this transformation has been. I have discovered so many aspects of Yoga that I did not know about through this program. I truly feel that I am so much more well rounded and well versed. This program presents many styles and options, so that I am learning what is best for me to focus on. One of my favorite aspects of this program is that is supports the development of the individual and allows each student to find and develop their strengths. Who I am and my interests are honored and I am encouraged to delve more deeply into what is resonating with me. I love not feeling like I am expected to be like anyone else. Mandy creates a supportive environment that allows each student to feel safe in exploring and developing. Her ability to lead with gentleness and positivity is truly amazing to experience. She brings her seasoned teaching, supportive nature, and open heart to every session, further inspiring the students to go even further." ~Elisha

Concerts
Pricing: Premium Orchestra – $35.00 (+$4.50 Ticketing Fee); Orchestra & Balcony – $25.00 (+3.50 Ticketing Fee)
Cleveland-born David Wilcox is a father, a husband, a citizen and a songwriter. First inspired to play guitar after hearing a fellow college student playing in a stairwell, Wilcox is now 18 records into a career marked by personal revelation and wildly loyal fans. His lyrical insight is matched by a smooth baritone voice, virtuosic guitar chops, and creative open tunings, giving him a range and tenderness rare in folk music.
Wilcox released an independent album in 1987, was a winner of the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk award in 1988, and by 1989 he had signed with A&M Records. His first release on the label, How Did You Find Me Here, sold over 100,000 copies the first year largely by word of mouth.
Considered a ‘songwriter’s songwriter’, his songs have been covered by artists such as K.D. Lang and many others. In addition to his writing prowess, his skills as a performer and storyteller are unmatched. He holds audiences rapt with nothing more than a single guitar, thoroughly written songs, a fearless ability to mine the depths of human emotions of joy, sorrow and everything in between, and all tempered by a quick and wry wit.
Reflecting on well over 20 years of record-making and touring extensively around the US and world, Wilcox says, “Music still stretches out before me like the head-lights of a car into the night. It’s way beyond where I am, but it shows where I’m going. I used to think that my goal was to catch up, but now I’m grateful that the music is always going to be way out in front to inspire me.”
Exhibits
Visitors to the current “Depth of Field” exhibit, on display through Aug. 14 in the Diversity Studies Room at Pattee Library, can view an unfiltered look at war photography and assess its impact on audiences. Using Penn State Reads’ 2017-18 book, “It’s What I Do: A Photographer’s Life of Love and War” by Lynsey Addario, as a starting point, the exhibit seeks to highlight the intersections of the history of war in the Middle East with the history of war photography and how visual literacy plays a role in how we interpret and understand those intersections.
Throughout the exhibit, visitors will learn more about female war photographers and photography covering the Middle East over the past two decades, and explore the interplay between text and image. While conflict photography continues to bring attention to issues around the world, there has been a shift in the imagery from action shots to everyday life in recent war photography.
“‘Depth of Field’ creates space for viewers to become what [philosopher Jacques] Ranciere calls ‘the emancipated spectator,’” said Rachel White, University Libraries information services manager and co-curator of the exhibit. “The creator of the artwork presents material in such a way that the viewer has to literally pause in order to digest everything that is going on within the image. The viewer learns to ask questions and not blindly stare at a photograph.” White, with Hailley Fargo, student engagement librarian, worked together to co-curate the exhibition with organizational oversight by Christina Coyle, exhibit coordinator.
Addario’s memoir, as mirrored throughout the exhibition, interweaves themes of gender roles, photographic truths, and cultural and political ideologies, while exploring the many complicated facets of war. The viewer is encouraged to play an active role in the production, consumption and transformation of culture and to become the interpreter of what they see.
Part of the exhibit focuses on brief snapshots of Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq using library resources to tell these stories. Paired with these resources will be photography by visual arts faculty member Keith Shapiro, whose photographs document scenes of daily life he encountered during his travels to Syria in the 1990s.
The exhibit also sheds light on some of the female photographers that have made their mark on the profession. Finally, through iPad Pro kiosks, exhibit interactive elements — garnered from the University Libraries’ rich collection of multimedia resources — allow viewers to see how people, both foreign and native, are documenting events occurring in the Middle East today.
“Depth of Field” is open to viewing in the Diversity Studies Room, second floor central Pattee Library, during regular hours of operation. Persons with disabilities who anticipate needing accommodations or who have questions about physical access may contact Rachel White at rhw135@psu.edu or 814-865-5429.

Chad McKissock
I have always had a fascination with nature. Whether I was turning rocks in a trout stream looking for insect patterns to match for fishing, watching a distant thunderstorm build and move across the plains, or simply listening to songbirds as I napped under a tree on a warm summer day.
My images could be considered by most as an eclectic mix of subject matter. However, more often than not, they do tend to reflect on my fascination and love of the outdoors. They are not of distant far off exotic places only accessible to those of affluent means. Rather, they showcase the beauty afforded to everyone, of our very own public lands and back yards.
While I have no formal training with regards to photography or art in general, I do gravitate towards and draw inspiration from the works of Ansel Adams
Barb Pennybacker
My love of farms, old barns and the beautiful rolling countryside of central Pennsylvania is the inspriation behind my paintings. I strive for realism in my painting. I work in my studio from photos I've taken of rural central Pennsylvania.
Biography
Barb Pennybacker was a faculty member in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. A traumatic brain injury from a collision with a coal train took her analytical ability, which ended her research career. She held the rank of Professor o Agronomy and Asst. Dean of the Graduate School when she retired in 2005. She soon realized that the old barns she loved were rapidly disappearing. Barb had a strong desire to paint these barns before they were gone forever. She took a private, month-long drawing class. The studio was an abandoned farm with a crumbling barn. She spent the next year plein air sketching old barns.

July 3 to July 28 Janet Runyan, Beth Aten
Janet Runyan’s work, although whimsical in nature, poses questions
about war and it's evolution. While animals fight for territory, mates
and food; we as humans wage war for many abstract reasons. Her hope is
that the work will provoke thought, and the visual aspects of the wood
firing she gives the clay will add to the enjoyment of the sculptures.
Making objects is a daily practice for artist, Beth Aten; a means of
holding time, recording memories, and expressing her love of nature.
Her primary body of work consists of collage-stitched paper and fabric
which she creates using a variety of techniques including printing,
painting, and dyeing. Additional passions include working with rug
hooking, making books, and exploring the three dimensional
possibilities of willow branches which she grows and harvests in her
ever~ expanding garden. website bethaten.com
