About Our Director


PCYH founder 
and director, Deborah Metzger, ACSW, RYT, is a certified advanced 
Kripalu Yoga teacher, a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist, a licensed 
social worker and holds an MSW from the University of Pennsylvania. 



In addition to teaching throughout 
            the area, Deborah has led related workshops at Princeton University, 
            in corporate settings such as Johnson & Johnson, Merrill Lynch, Summit 
            Bank, and State agencies, as well as local community groups, and has 
            assisted programs at the Kripalu Center in Lenox, MA. PCYH is an independently 
            owned and operated affiliate of Kripalu 
            Center. 
            
 She founded and served as the first president of Womanspace, 
              Inc., a program for victims of domestic violence.

              

              What 
              is a Kripalu Affiliated Studio (KAS)? 

Kripalu 
              Center has been serving humanity by offering opportunities for yoga 
              practice and other forms of experiential learning for over 25 years. 
              During that time, Kripalu Center has become known the world over 
              for the vitality of its spiritual community, for its unique approach 
              to personal transformation through yoga practice, and for the heartfelt 
              service of its staff. People have come to associate the word "Kripalu" 
              with a certain tone, feel and way of being. Some people call this 
              the "Kripalu Experience." Others describe it as the "spirit 
              of Kripalu."

            
The 
              Kripalu approach to experiential learning is based on three essential 
              principles:

            
Safety: 
              creating an environment of physical and psychological safety, usually 
              within the context of a bonded group. 

            
Transformation: 
              engaging in practices that unite body and mind such as yoga, meditation, 
              dance, art and other forms of self-expression. 

            
Integration: 
              including activities that integrate the body/mind experience and 
              return people to their lives more grounded and fully alive. 

            
Kripalu 
              Affiliated Studios operate in harmony with Kripalu Center and its 
              network of affiliated yoga studios. This pilot project has been 
              established and financially supported by Kripalu Center as part 
              of its mission of creating a conscious and compassionate world.

            
PCYH 
              Director, Deborah Metzger, RYT, is a Kripalu trained and certified 
              instructor. Kripalu Center, was, in part, her model for establishing 
              the Princeton Center for Yoga & Health.
