Hi! I’m Shani. I took my very first yoga class ever, right here in Central Pennsylvania over 25 years ago. I fell in love with understanding the interconnectedness of my mind, emotions, health & rhythms & cycles of the natural world. I enthusiastically became a yoga workshop fanatic! For many years, I studied with many of the yoga icons we respect today including Erich Schiffmann, Sean Corne, Judith Lasater, Gurumukh, Gabrielle Roth & many others- with Shiva Rea as my primary teacher. I began my career teaching yoga in various studios around The Harrisburg area, I was an Adjunct Professor of Yoga at PSU Harrisburg for 10 years & for a brief time I owned a yoga studio. In addition to studying yoga, I have also extensively studied massage therapy, pilates, and the Lotte Berk Barre Technique. I teach a low-impact fusion of barre, pilates & yoga sequences unlike any other movement class. I am also a licensed massage therapist & a Natural Mystic. Presently, I teach yoga & self-care in the corporate world as an asset to employee wellness programs. I also work with clients 1:1 at my private home studio & online. I coach people to enliven & awaken their thoughts, creativity & health through sensory rich movement practices with my unique Witchy Goddess Way. I'll be 50 this year. Lot of people my age will say they don't feel that old. Is 50 old? I guess it depends. My body has changed. My mind has changed. I have changed so much decade after decade. I am still changing. Nothing stays the same. But I don't feel old. I love living the yoga lifestyle that I have created. It’s so healing. I have learned how important it is to take refuge in my practices & shift into higher vibrations when I am stuck in the suffering of a grinding mind. I whole-heartedly intend on coaching people through movement & self-care forever. We all get off track from time to time, existence is absurd. Horrible things happen. Amazing things happen. It only takes a moment for everything to change. Healing is the re-unification of soul, self, and spirit with our truest desires. May you feel the flash of insight that opens your heart.

Bio:

Heather has been a student of yoga for over 10 years. Although she began her practice with a skeptical mindset and a lingering hamstring injury, she loved every second of it. Yoga asana was exactly what she needed; humbling and challenging. Within a few weeks her hamstring started to regain mobility, and she felt a deeper sense of mental clarity. At 23 years old, she practiced as often as she could, and continued to experience the holistic-healing into early adulthood.

Yoga became more than movement for Heather. Her teachers shared deep love and wisdom in their classes. They inspired Heather to learn more about the art and science of Yoga. In 2017, she committed to a 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training in Costa Rica with Marianne Wells. Studying in the rainforest profoundly changed her relationship to Yoga and the world at large. 

Heather continues to practice and teach yoga every single day. Throughout life on and off the mat, her intention is to nurture the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of human experience. 

Qualifications: 

• 200 hr Vinyasa YTT with Marianne Wells (2017)

• 200 hr Bikram YTT with Yoga Factory (2022) 

• Advanced courses in Philosophy, Psychology, Anatomy and Physiology

Alan Kuhl

RYT 200hr, Sound Healing Practitioner, Musician

Alan has over 15 years practicing, studying, and performing music. Growing up in Northeast Pennsylvania in a family where dance and music were the backbone and foundation for connection. Playing in Rock & Roll bands like his father led him slowly to a path of addiction and depression. Nearly giving up on life he then found the correlation between sound and healing through the study and art of yoga/meditation. “Bhakti and Nada Yoga are my new drugs and rock & roll”.  Applying these practices for his own personal healing, growth, and transformation, he now presents these healing modalities to communities and rehabilitation centers in the area and through online classes. 

Alan’s main focus is to educate and demonstrate these practices to those who are still suffering from Addiction and Mental Health Dis-orders. To use holistic and spiritual healing along with other programs of recovery to aid in those who still feel a sense of  hopelessness. 

Currently enrolled in Capella University for his Bachelors in Psychology he hopes to bring  Holistic Therapy into clinical settings to enrich the experience of Treatment Centers here in the United States. “Eastern Medicine and practices of Yoga/Meditation should not only be recognized, but a core foundation for Addiction Treatment and Mental Health”. He is having great success and results with his work being done at The Ranch of Pennsylvania by providing the correlation of 12-steps, Yin Yoga, and Sound Meditations along with Native Teachings of the Medicine Wheel. These teachings and practices are taught by him from a space of true love, as they are the reason he is alive and able to do this work today.

Alan believes in the power of sound and energy to be the fundamental component to all well being. “We are energy, we are vibration, all of life is music.”

Having spent the last 35 years immersed in the study, practice and teaching of yoga, I feel more then ever that these universal Ancient teachings and practices can transform our lives, especially in these uncertain turbulent times.

​

Growing up in South Africa I went through a period of extreme turmoil and questioning. During that time I was completely moved and inspired by some Monks and Yogis that I met from the Himalayas, and about the same time I heard Classical Indian music on the Sitar. These experiences changed my life and direction.

​

I trained as a meditation teacher with the T.M movement of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Soon after that I went to India via Greece and immersed myself in the study of Yoga and Classical Indian music. I explored many different styles and approaches to yoga in the over eight years I lived there, and I share this approach in the way I teach.

Mystical Kirtan with Mirabai Moon offers a passionate embrace of the Divine Essence right here, right now... in your embodied, human form, just as you are. 
 
Singer/songwriter Mirabai Moon’s immensely versatile and powerfully expressive voice has been compared to Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez and even mantra artist Deva Premal.  Her music takes listeners on a journey, flowing effortlessly from ethereal dreaminess to soulful blues and jazz. 

She honed her craft studying vocal improvisation with Jazz legend Bobby McFerrin and Rhiannon of Voicestra.    After nearly two decades of songwriting and three original albums, she fell in love with the practice of Kirtan.  In 2010, Mirabai devoted herself as a Bhakta, singing sacred chants in Sanskrit, sharing her profound love of the Divine with others through call and response devotional chanting.

Mirabai’s life changing experiences with kirtan and mantra practice led her to explore other sound healing modalities.  She now uses crystal singing bowls, chimes and gongs with groups and individual clients for healing and transformation work.   Mirabai tours across North America and internationally, sharing chant music and sound healing in yoga studios, healing centers, and festivals.  Her offerings guide participants into experiences of profound healing and embodiment of the Divine Essence within human form.

Here's what folks are saying...

“Mirabai Moon is a Kirtan soul angel who uplifts the Spirit.  Her voice is exquisitely tuned and her warmth fills your heart. Don’t miss her!” - Gary Goldberg of WRPI, In The Spirit Radio
 
"Mirabai Moon's new album is the bomb!" - Bhakti Beat

​

"Mirabai's music is filled with heart and devotion." - Steve Gorn
                                               
"Listening to Mirabai Moon sing is like hearing a soulful, beautiful transmission of the divine."  
- Lauren Rutten

I found yoga more than 20 years ago to help with depression. Over time, I found that the more I got present in my body, the more I could hear what my heart wanted. For me, the practice is not only a series of poses, but a way of living, a way of being in and for the world around me. The presence that I discovered on my mat translates to everything I do. My practice is with me as I love and take care of my family, and it’s with me as I lead and grow this amazing community. Being a yogi did not change me, but more enhanced the way I do my life. I see now, that much of my sadness that I called depression stemmed from simply not knowing who I was or why I was here. Yoga gave me my life’s work. It showed me that who I am is more than enough. Yoga taught me that each and every human has a light inside of him or her that could be wasted if not shared.  Yoga is the tool that I use to speak to my students’ hearts. It’s the tool I use to help my students find vitality for their life. I have no interest in fixing anyone, because in truth there is nothing wrong. Only what is or isn’t working for them. Our bodies have a natural rhythm. It has a built in memory system. We Humans live on a planet that has gravity. Gravity and the stress of life can get heavy. Fact is, most humans don’t like pressure. So I teach to help my students learn to relieve that pressure for themselves. I teach so I can continue to always be a student of the human spirit. I teach because I’m a seeker on a journey that never ends!

SMH is inspired by Late 90's Cartoons and all of Super Mario's worlds. It’s something like what might happen if Mr. Rogers was to spend a day at Peewee’s Playhouse.

Think "Be Here Now" meets Saturday morning cartoons and a bottomless bowl of cereal. 

SMH creates worlds in which the serious and the absurd are reconciled, where both are explored and embraced. Because that’s the only way.

Sat nam!  I am an ERYT 200 teacher having received my Hatha teacher training from Asheville Yoga Center (Asheville, NC) and my Kundalini Yoga Teacher training from Lighthouse Yoga (Washington, D.C.)  I am certified as a Y12SR (yoga for addiction recovery)  leader, and a Reiki Level 2 attuned practitioner.  I am currently studying Anusara Yoga and Ayurveda with Rachel Bush.  

I believe in the healing power of a yogic path to transform and uplift!

Having grown up in the central PA area, I moved back almost 3 years ago. I was overjoyed to find so much interest in the yogic lifestyle that our studio, Clear Sphere Yoga in downtown Williamsport, sprung up organically and has grown to include many styles and amazing teachers within a thriving community.  

My teaching style is very easy-going and playful and I provide a lot of explanation.   Every class weaves yogic philosophy and spiritual principles as well as a strong focus on meditation and breath-work. I primarily teach Kundalini and Hatha Yoga at Clear Sphere, at White Deer Rehab, at the Muncy Prison, as well as traveling to various organizations and companies to facilitate holistic wellness practices . 

In addition to my role as yoga teacher, I am a certified holistic life and addiction recovery coach.  

I am overjoyed to be a part of the Central PA Yoga LOVE Festival  for the second year.

The Mas & The Babas are a collective of professional musicians, yoga teachers and enthusiasts. Hailing from Central Pennsylvania the group brings loving devotion to a new level with their eclectic mix of western and traditional melodies, African drums, and storytelling.

Emily Turin fell in love with dancing about 20 years ago , the first time she heard electronica and djembe drums … “It was like a switch turned on and I discovered a new part of myself” …a Zumba Instructor for 5 years , she recognized the elevated positive energy that students would experience through the act of dancing .. She says , “ I feel many of us are apprehensive of the word “dance” in general because of the ideas we have attached to what that word or activity means . I hope to encourage others to experience dance as a personal self-love practice … as a way of allowing rhythm and vibration to move through the body and in doing so release stagnation and ignite new power within … Emily is also a children’s book author, a singer/ songwriter and a 300hr YTT , trained in Hatha & Yin Yoga and Qigong. She teaches Chi Flow from her home twice a week for neighbors and an online community

"Shawan Rice is a deeply soulful songstress, originally hailing from Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Her music is an eclectic layered mix of rootsy neo-soul that is heavily influenced by black american music. Shawan began writing music at 13 years old, crafting her with seasoning from artists from Jimi Hendrix to Erykah Badu. She began to play live in 2008, having since released 4 E.P.s, toured throughout the US, eventually relocating to New Orleans where she has established herself as a regular gigging musician. Playing solo or with her band Shawan & the Wonton, Rice has played many iconic venues and festivals, opening for national acts including Grace Potter and Carly Rae Jepsen.

A beautiful synthesis of neo-folk, pop, and Americana with elements of jazz, tinges of psychedelia and a little bit of mellow rock and roll, The Wild Hymns are the original songs of singer/songwriter Megan Woodland Hewitt (née Donley) and her band with her husband, guitarist Jeff Hewitt.

​

There is a tender sweetness to their sound as well as depth, mystery and an other-worldly quality. The music and lyrics of The Wild Hymns are greatly influenced by human relationship, emotion, nature, and mysticism; they are reclaiming the word “hymn” as a song of praise to the natural world, the raw and wild human spirit, and universal/cosmic love.

The Wild Hymns have performed regionally at venues such as Bethlehem Musikfest, Kable House Presents in York, Pa and Long's Park Ampitheater in Lancaster, Pa and their music can can be heard on WXPN Philadelphia's "Sleepy Hollow" and "Folk Show". They released their third album of original music, 'Stories With The Moon', in December 2018 and have been touring the East coast and various parts of the U.S., promoting their new album since.

I started this part of my journey around 10 years ago when I was attuned to Reiki, then soon after Reiki Master, while starting studies in Shamonic experiences and healing techniques. It was like a huge door opened filled with wonder and my curiosity to explore. I deepened my Shamanic aspects by attending multiple workshops and retreats created by the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. I began to incorporate more sound tools (drumming,rattles,singing bowls,ect.) in the sessions I was giving.My next opportunity was to study with the Institute of Modern Wisdom, joining the Priestess program. This deepened both my awe and ever evolving relationship with Consciousness, the Universe, the Goddess. I began regularly leading Sacred Mystic Circles, a gathering with a theme intention to inspire the participants, and to explore the edges of what we believe we know. 

​

During that stretch, I also began crafting herbal elixirs, salves, rose petal jam and more. Another branch had been revealed for me, and my business "Wildly Crafted Woman" emerged. In February 2020, I studied at Amrit Yoga Institute and am certified to lead sessions. . In my "day job," I have worked 30 years at Highland Gardens in Camp Hill as the Nursery Manager, and top Plant Geek, pulling up my roots in autumn 2019, as the company changed owners. I can be found now at Black Landscape Center, in Mechanicsburg PA. www.wildlycraftedwoman.com
