Yoga is an opportunity to know yourself better. Only you can become the world’s leading expert on your life—but first you must learn how to observe yourself and how you work. In yoga, you are the laboratory. We created Yoga Lab as a supportive environment where people can gather and share in the spirit of learning, self-discovery, and continued growth. 

The teachers at Yoga Lab believe that a consistent, sustainable yoga practice can make us all happier, healthier, stronger, and more balanced individuals while at the same time improving the community in which we live. Together we share a common interest in anatomy and functional movement, and in combining Western science with Eastern wisdom. We are committed to teaching a sustainable yoga practice that integrates and enriches the body, mind, and soul. Our goal at Yoga Lab is to guide you in the process of self-discovery. By learning how to calm your mind, reduce anxiety and stress, and tap into your physical and mental strength, you will be better prepared to confront whatever challenges you face in your life, both on and off the mat.

    I am so honored to have received my yoga teacher training at the Yoga Lab. The teaching staff at the studio, and my peers, made this experience so amazing. I learned more than what any other yoga training program offered to teach me. I was challenged physically and mentally in the best way possible and I went deep into my yoga practice and feel prepared to teach others in the future. I would train with the Yoga Lab again in the future if presented with another opportunity, thank you!

    I cant imagine a more well-rounded and evidenced-based teacher training than the one I received at Yoga Lab! I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a yoga teacher training in the state college, PA area.

    I loved Yoga Lab. They were my first studio I ever went to and taught me so much about yoga and anatomy. I feel so empowered to teach yoga because of the foundation they gave me.

    Thanks to Yoga Lab I accomplished the certification with a Diversity & Equity Scholarship. The experience was beyond expectations, it changed for good my practice. I found here, purpose, kindness, authenticity and a path for constant learning. I discovered the importance of a sustainable movement and how this becomes and invitation to action, to achieve a healthy life and impact positively the community. My Yoga Lab teachers are an inspiration, all my gratitude to them for their knowledge and wisdom. Namaste.

    I love the fact I was able to participate through a diversity scholarship! If this hadn't been available, I'm not sure where I would be in my yoga journey! They were very open to me creating my own style of class that was culturally important to me! I'm so grateful and ready to teach! Hip-Hop Yoga here I come!

    Yoga Lab places emphasizes the importance of listening to your body and practicing yoga in a safe manner. The trainers are flexible and willing to answer any questions a person may have.

    Yoga Lab is true to their mission. They provide a safe space for individuals to discover themselves while educating them in a vinyasa-flow based style with a strong foundation in functional movement and comprehensive anatomy lessons. I enjoyed our discussions in yoga philosophy and learning about meditation. I was left with plenty of resources to continue my exploration in yoga. I hope they can continue providing a virtual platform. Shoutout to all of my teachers this summer, thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom this summer.

The 200 he YTT program through Yoga Lab of State College FAR exceeded my expectations. The team of teachers is professional, knowledgeable and ALWAYS available for questions or learning outside of scheduled class time. The content and pace of the course was excellent and well-planned for working parents (like myself) and graduate students. I am really looking forward to taking part in their up and coming 300 hr YTT program. Yoga Lab gets a 5 star rating from me! Full Review
