Namaste!
I am a college professor, author, and yoga and mindfulness teacher living in State College, Pennsylvania.
In my academic life as the Liberal Arts Endowed Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences at Penn State University, and in my life as a yoga and mindfulness teacher and one of the co-founders of Yoga Lab in State College, I teach people the skills to be democratic citizens, including how to pay attention, how to deliberate, how to listen, how to work together, how to spot misinformation and propaganda, and how to embody and promote peace. I teach my students to speak up and stand tall as leaders in a democratic society.
