ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

David Laboski, RYT 200, is a high school administrator at Pennridge High School in Pennsylvania, a registered yoga teacher, and a former school-based juvenile probation officer in Bucks County. He currently works part-time with a non-profit in the Lehigh Valley, Shanthi Project, where he leads trauma-informed mindfulness and yoga classes for adolescents at a juvenile justice center.

David’s passion for sharing knowledge and personal experiences with students, teachers, and families is rooted in how yoga has helped him overcome twenty-five years of chronic back pain as well as his father’s passing from a long battle with leukemia. The decision to make a change and take better care of his mind and body led him to his first formal experience with yoga six years ago. David completed an MBSR course through The University of Pennsylvania Program for Mindfulness in 2016. He has continued to expand his learning by completing the Shanthi Project’s Trauma-Informed training, Omega Institute’s Mindfulness & Trauma workshop with David Treleaven, and participating in a variety of yoga workshops with David Swenson, David Williams, and Jason Crandell.
