Please join us for an evening to do gentle yoga and meditation in an outdoor setting. This is a free event, bring your own mat/water. This class is open to all those in the community who in good health and good spirits wish to join to celebrate the practice of Yoga. We are blessed this year to have the BEAUTIFUL park system in Hellertown to host our outdoor practice. Those who are able are encouraged to make free will donation to the Pratyush Sinha Foundation which offers mindfulness programs and trauma informed yoga in the Allentown and Bethlehem School Districts. I am a Certified Lifestyle Physician, as a Diplomate of the Amercian Board of Lifestyle Medicine (DipABLM/DipIBLM), and an AOA Board Certified Neuromusculoskeletal physician. Over the last 20 years I have worked in the field of healthcare using yoga. The current focus of my practice is to help patients better their health through formal yogic exercise and lifestyle change. I hold an M.S. in Exercise Science from the State University of New York at Buffalo. While working as an exercise physiologist in cardiac rehab, I began teaching yoga in the late 1990’s. My classes catered to patients with breast cancer at Fox Chase’s Complete Care and cardiopulmonary rehab at Mercy Haverford. I later started a yoga program at the Cleveland Clinic Florida to serve to both patients and employees alike. I was one of the earliest persons certified as an RYT-200 through the Yoga Alliance and am now YA certified as an YACEP, ERYT-200 / RYT-500 as well as C-IAYT (through the I-AYT). I am continually studying and learning in my own yogic practice. My intention to fuse yoga and health officially lead me to be accepted into an osteopathic training program at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) in 2003 to study hands-on adjustments. I have been an osteopathic physician since 2007. I did a rotating Internship at Abington Memorial Hospital in suburban Philadelphia geared towards Internal Medicine, followed by a specialty residency in Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine at PCOM. I am proud to be able to offer my clients a range of care. Currently I see patients in the Lehigh Valley within a Lifestyle Medicine Practice and offer Osteopathic Manipulation (OMT) as well as nutrition & yoga advice to help people with pain heal.
