Priscilla Szneke is a mindfulness teacher and a certified yoga teacher (E-RYT-200) who integrates her 30 years experience in the health care field as a nurse (oncology, ICU, and nurse anesthetist), medical editor and most recently, epidemiologist with her commitment to meditation and yoga. She received her teacher-training at the Innerlight Center for Yoga and Meditation and has studied with a variety of yoga teachers, including Tias Little, Sarah Powers, Judith Lasater, and Jill Satterfield. She has completed the 18-month Mindfulness Yoga and Meditation Training Program at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in California and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in Mind Body Medicine: A Professional Training, led by Drs. Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli. She has also taken courses at the Benson Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine in Boston and  the Insight Meditation Society.  Priscilla is enrolled in the Integrated Studies and Practice Program at the BCBS.

The culmination of these studies has led her to promote mindfulness, the act of interacting fully and intentionally with the present moment, as a central part of her practice and teachings. In her classes, she incorporates aspects of Buddhist philosophy with a variety of yoga disciplines and techniques to nurture mindfulness and develop metta or loving-kindness, an innate characteristic we all possess. By learning mindfulness, we learn to heal our bodies and minds, each other, and in turn, we heal the earth.
