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.
This film screening is free and open to the public! Seats are limited.
“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” You might think it’s cliche, but the residents of Yellowknife, Canada believe this expression is deeply ingrained in their identities and sense of community! This colorful Northwest Territory town has a large, unrestricted dump that people from all backgrounds come to salvage. From dirt-stained but lovable teddy bears to 60 pounds of dry vermicelli noodles–thrifty salvagers see ways to reuse and reduce what others think of as waste. However, some city officials want to close the dump. Do they really fear safety and liability issues or do they just want to put a “modern” facade on the city’s waste management? Will a way of life fade into a quirky hobby of eccentric personalities seemingly stuck in the past? Whose way of thinking about people’s relationship with material goods will prevail?
Amy C. Elliot’s Salvage raises profound issues about our systems of consumption, disposal, and relationship to materials. Accompanying her feature film will be a selection of waste- and consumption-themed short films that can open a larger conversation at Penn State and in Centre County about how we want to manage our materials. This screening is co-sponsored by the Borough of State College and is part of their year-long conversation on plastic management.

A fun, fast paced vinyasa flow designed to energize and balance the chakras or physical, emotional and spiritual energy centers. When the chakras are open, aligned and fluid, prana or energy can flow freely creating sense of self-empowerment and harmony. Students will explore a deeper sense of self-awareness and challenge their limits of dynamic, static and cardiovascular strength. If it doesn’t challenge you it won’t change you.
