If you're looking for STEAM learning and outreach in the city of Pittsburgh, this is for you. Our…read morekids have really enjoyed the week-long classes in the summer, and Saturday morning classes during the school year. As our kids have grown, they've had the opportunity to take most of the classes offered to their grade level, and they look forward to taking the classes the even bigger kids take. Our kids have created small buildings out of junk materials, drawing robots, bouncy balls, circuits, shrinky dinks, solar heaters, and have learned other intangibles! They're free to explore and understand why things work or don't work in our world (problem solving skills.) While our kids wish that some of the sessions could be longer, we as parents feel each class is the right amount of time with our kids' attention spans. The staff and instructors are very helpful, polite, and very interested in helping the kids learn!

He was extremely professional from the moment we began communicating and throughout photographing our event. He completely understood our needs and worked mostly independently. He was very quick with sending us the photos, and most importantly, the photographs are perfect. I am overwhelmed by how many of them are great - it's very hard to pick my favorites. I would highly recommend working with Don any day.

Viviana hosts an array of cooking classes that are great for people of any cooking level. I…read moreattended one of the pasta making classes on a Sunday. I'm very much a beginner at making Italian food and the class was informative and fun. The class lasted about 2 hours and was very interactive. The classes are priced at a decent price point and make for good gifts for friends & family as well! Other classes coming up include tiramisu, focaccia bread and so on... lots of authentic Italian dishes from an amazing culinary leader.

My husband got us a pasta 101 cooking class for my birthday this year. Viviana is absolutely a…read morefantastic and pleasant host. We enjoyed making dough while doing some Italian trivia and chatting with our table neighbors. Definitely a hands-on experience. I had tried making pasta in the past and failed, but now I am confident we can recreate what we made this weekend! Simple recipes you don't even need to write down and taste amazing. Italian holiday market was also great. We got some of the supplies used in class at great prices. Can't wait to use it all, and really can't wait to try another class!

We are able to learn so much in just 4 weeks and it is such a safe space to practice getting out of one's comfort zone. The instructors are all great! They primarily focus on long form but do also have short form classes too. They periodically host jams and shows as well. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to try out or continue their improv journey! They typically do try it out classes beforehand as well for a low stakes way to see if its something you want to jump into!

The improv actors are very skilled, and they seem to offer something different nearly every single weekend. The theater has a fun, indie feel to it.

Anyways, the visit was filled with visual wonders for the mind and soul. Each piece was truly unique and remarkable in so many ways. Most disciplines of art were represented with shining examples of each. The current exhibition features several highly skilled local Pittsburgh artists. The gallery features art, but also sometimes hosts music shows, which I was happy to be a part of in the past. You will get a plethora of information from the owner if you inquire about the works, artists, or anything and everything. If you love creative works and you are in the Pittsburgh area you have got to go to this marvelous gallery!

I highly recommend Debbie's pre-natal yoga classes as one of the best ways to prepare your body and…read moremind for labor and birth. The Yoga Whole studio offers a safe, quaint, and intimate setting which allowed me to connect with both mind and body (and baby!).and practice freely. As a newbie to yoga, I found Debbie's classes incredibly approachable as her classes are geared towards keeping a woman comfortable during pregnancy and providing her with a toolbox of comfort measures to turn to during labor and delivery. Like a true professional, she always stressed the importance of listening to your body and offered alternatives to poses when 1.) they were either too cumbersome for me (as I approached the end of pregnancy), 2.) I felt I could push my body a little further and try some more challenging positions. Her routines provided safe, practical exercises that always stressed the importance of bringing internal balance in the pregnant body as a way to bring about a more comfortable and easier birth. Debbie emits a calm, reassuring, and motherly presence; she is steady, cool and an excellent listener. Her goal is always to put moms and babies first and her holistic approach stresses the importance of honoring the mother's/family's wishes and preferences to bring forth a positive birthing experience. Her ultimate goal is to provide each and every woman with the tools and knowledge she needs to feel confident and capable during pregnancy and delivery. From an emotional standpoint, Debbie was very supportive of me in my VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) journey. I always felt she was in my corner and rooting for me to succeed. She constantly reminded me of my ability to birth my baby and was always happy to share input and resources (she has a collection of books, DVDs, etc. you can borrow from her studio as well). I'm happy to note I had an incredibly precipitous (fast), complication and intervention-free vaginal birth at the end of last year. I truly believe the combination of the physical/mental preparation Debbie's yoga classes provided me along with regular exercise and Webster technique chiropractic adjustments were the major contributors to my positive experience. I strongly believe the physical work as well as the emotional preparation I gleaned from her classes transformed my body/mind into the optimal vessel for a swift and uncomplicated delivery. I would adamantly encourage any and all pregnant women to reach out to Debbie about her pre-natal yoga and doula services
