Vital Glow Yoga (VGY) is “An intimate, non-heated yoga studio nestled in the Bellevue neighborhood of Pittsburgh. We offer all-level Vinyasa flow classes as well as restorative yoga, yin yoga, and a variety of workshops.”

With a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature and Creative Writing from Drew University, Instructor of English as a Second Language, Reading Support and Intervention teacher at a Montessori School, a two year member of AmeriCorps teaching at the Propel Homestead School, a 200 hour Yoga training course in Boulder, Colorado, and five years as a Yoga Instructor (three years at Yoga on Fremont), Maggie White was poised to assume ownership of the business when it was up for sale in 2015. She possessed the requisite skills and more.

Maggie has taught yoga “to pre-schoolers through octogenarians and every age in between.”  “I taught yoga to individuals with chronic illness and injury, to elite athletes and individuals preparing to run the Pittsburgh Marathon.”  “I have taught children and adults, and while my roots remain cemented in Vinyasa, my classes tend to be a blend of flow, yang power poses, and yin-influenced deep breathing and stretching.”

Utilizing Yoga’s deep breathing and gentle movements to gain strength, individuals afflicted with Fibromyalgia and MS enjoy relief from chronic pain. An individual training for the Marathon utilized yoga for strength training and found that her speed increased. 

VGY currently teaches a yoga class for everybody -- for all levels, needs, and desires. Future goals are to develop Yoga sessions specific for the 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. workers to combat stressors and fatigues experienced by those individuals who sit and are hunched over keyboards for prolonged periods of time. “Stress settles into the neck and shoulder and lower back areas,” noted Maggie, and this course will be designed to alleviate those overly-stressed areas.

Hunched over my keyboard, shoulders slouched forward as I write this profile, I vow I will be the first in line to register for this course - hurry Maggie!

Stop in and say Namaste to Maggie!
