The foundation of vinyasa is linking breath to movement. In this invigorating class, you will create heat and energy in the body as you flow through a sequence of postures linked by breath. In addition to physical postures that build balance, strength, and flexibility, this class integrates pranayama breathwork and meditation to instill a sense of calm and relaxation. An extended savasana at the end of practice provides an opportunity to soak in these mind-body benefits. Whether you are newer to yoga or an advanced practitioner, different pose variations are given so you may practice at your own comfort level.

We received such great feedback from our 21 Day Meditation and Mindfulness Challenge that we knew we had to do it again this year. We are currently working on the in studio events, but you are welcome to join our Insight Timer group anytime. (Click here for instructions on how to find out group.)

Start your week off right! This mixed level class will begin with gentle poses and progress towards more invigorating poses throughout the class, meditation and breathing techniques will also be explored. All levels of students are welcome to attend. Individual attention will be given and poses modified to meet your practice where you are at so whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing for a long time this class welcomes you. Get up, get moving and start you week off right with us!

“Indigenous Roots/Routes: Contested Histories, Contemporary Experiences” reflects on the past five centuries of colonization and cultural exchange among Indigenous Peoples, Europeans, Africans and Americans. The exhibition explores the processes of social, religious and political adaptation, what it means to be rooted in or unrooted from one’s land, and how searching out unfamiliar routes forces others to travel new ones. It draws upon art, textural works and rare books from three major collections at Penn State: the Eberly Family Special Collections Library, the Matson Museum of Anthropology and the Palmer Museum of Art. Together the materials encourage us to question how history is written and how it informs contemporary works by Indigenous artists and activists. Located in the Special Collections Exhibition Gallery, 104 Paterno Library on Penn State's University Park campus, the exhibition is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, except for special holiday hours. The gallery is closed on Saturdays. Monthly hours of operation can be found at: https://libraries.psu.edu/monthly-hours?library=187
