This class focuses on yoga asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), and helps to bring balance to the body. Emphasis is placed on core strength, flexibility and balance as well as concentration and breath control. Basic, intermediate and more advanced variations of the asanas will be provided with a focus on proper breathing and safe alignment. Meditation, guided imagery and relaxation will also be incorporated to support deep relaxation. Whether a novice or seasoned yogi/yogini you will leave this class feeling both recharged and relaxed.

How do people feel like they belong in place and time? Or don’t belong? What role can the arts play in helping build that sense of connection or highlighting the intentional alienation of certain people from places, times, and societies? This moving and thought-provoking evening of short films will explore the convergence of art and sustainability. Our sense of (dis)connection may range from scales as small as your cubicle to as large as the planet itself, but, however we try to connect, the arts are a vital response to the need for community and belonging as we respond to a host of sustainability challenges.

This class is a fusion of vinyasa flows and longer holds of yin yoga. The vinyasa portion will connect breath with movement through asanas, while the yin portion of class will give you a deep stretch to target deep connective tissue. A great combination to fuel your body, mind, and soul. This class is suitable for all levels of experience, with modifications provided.

Grab a few pillows from your bed or couch and join us for this relaxing class perfect to soothe away tension and wind down for a great night's rest.

Hostile Terrain 94 is a participatory art exhibition occurring in nearly 150 cities around the globe. Aiming to bear witness to and memorialize the thousands of lives claimed by the U.S./Mexico Border since the 1990s, the exhibition invites collaborators, citizens, and community members alike to write the identifying information known about these migrants and map where their lives were lost. Hostile Terrain 94 raises awareness about the human consequences of policies such as “Prevention Through Deterrence.” The Undocumented Migration Project (UMP) is an arts-education-research collective aiming to humanize the migrant experience between Latin America and the United States. UMP projects are collaborative public endeavors meant to inspire and engage participants to work towards positive social change.

Human Expectations is an exhibition of four artists working throughout the U.S. in ceramic, neon, and glass. Each artist approaches the form of the human head as a map or apparition – expressing systems of knowing, disruption, and social difference. Weighty, incisive, and unflinching these works connect deeply to the worlds of emotions, feelings, and embodied knowledge. Working from their interests, stories, and origins these artists consider the limitations and possibilities of human expectations – their ignorance, perceptual limitations, and potentially their magic. On view throughout the exhibition cases in the HUB-Robeson Center.

Plastic. It is convenient and pervasive, lifesaving and the root of suffering. It is so ingrained in our lives it is hard to imagine a world without it. This imagining lies at the heart of the exhibition CARE. not convenience. Created entirely with salvaged plastic, this collaboration between an artist, designer, and an environmental sciences researcher aspired to shed light on society’s dependence and careless overuse, as well as, thoughtless disposal of plastic. The primary material used for work creation was found and collected plastic bags. The extensive exploration of this petroleum-based material has led to methods of fusing sheets of plastic with heat, and making art forms with functional design capabilities (such as wearable art and hanging space dividers) and attention to minimizing waste in processes of production. Text written and selected by Lissy Goralnik. This exhibition was selected by a jury of Penn State faculty, staff, and students.

October Sept 29 to Oct 24


Ian Stainton

Ian Stainton will be showing hi-fired porcelain, made on the potters
wheel. Ian produces functional pottery such as bowls, vases, mugs etc.
in beautiful safe glazes.



Tom Rosenow

Tom’s practice as an artist is rooted in the landscape. He is
passionate about painting from life as well as the pursuit of
technical refinement when working in the studio. The goal of his
primary body of work is to elicit nostalgia and push the viewer to
access their own memories relating to landscapes. Whether or not
they've been to the places he has painted, he hopes the scenes feel
familiar.
