No Dancing or Singing Experience Necessary! Just a Groovy Attitude!
Come get groovy with us and move some Qi (life force energy) at our special event! This gathering will be an opportunity for you to express yourself in free form dance and also to be led in some very basic Qigong and dance movements by Terri Dennis. No dance experience is necessary, and everyone is welcome to modify any suggested movements to accommodate their own physical capabilities. Terri will be playing a variety of musical genres, including both slow and lyrical pieces, and more upbeat and uplifting tunes!
We will begin our gathering with gentle Qigong movements and “Pai Da,” or body tapping. We will then progress into more invigorating movements, including some lively group dances. And finally, we will end with vocal toning/chanting with singing bowls to integrate and harmonize all the beautiful Qi energy we have cultivated during the event. We will also get “primal” with various percussion instruments! It is sure to be an exhilarating time!
Hope you can join us for this special gathering!
Qigong, pronounced “chi gong,” was developed in China thousands of years ago as part of traditional Chinese medicine. It involves using exercises to optimize energy within the body, mind, and spirit, with the goal of improving and maintaining physical, mental, and emotional health. Breathing is slow, long, and deep, and movements are gentle and smooth, aimed for relaxation. No previous experience is required, and movements can be modified for the individual participant.
Cost: $20 Reserve your spot here.

2026-08-15 13:30 - 15:00 | Wellness in Motion, 2541 E. College Ave, Suite 104, State College, PA, 16801, United States
Support your body’s natural cleanup and defense system through this 4-part yoga series designed to stimulate lymphatic flow and ease stagnation. Each session focuses on a specific region of the lymphatic system, combining breathwork, intentional movement, self-massage, and deep rest for a complete, integrative practice. This series will introduce the basics of lymphatic function and help you better understand how to support your body’s own system, often referred to as your “river of health.” You’ll leave with simple, practical tools to support the natural rhythm of the lymphatic system, encourage flow, reduce congestion, and feel more connected to your body.
Week 1: Cervical (Neck + Head + Traps)
Includes glymphatic system, self-massage of the face and head, and Yoga Nidra. We begin with movement focused around space in the neck and shoulders, inviting release through the jaw, face and ears to support flow from the head and allow the system to settle into rest.
Week 2: Axillary (Arms + Chest)
Includes self-massage, pumping, breathwork, and simple daily movements. This session creates openness across the arms, chest and shoulders, using breath and fluid, repetitive movement to encourage circulation through the axillary nodes.
Week 3: Inguinal & Abdomen (Abdomen + Hips + Legs)
Abdomen and lower body focus. We move with the breath through the center of the body, using gentle twists and compression to awaken the abdomen, while rhythmic movement and muscle engagement in the legs support the upward flow of fluid against gravity, encouraging a sense of lightness and release.
Week 4: Full Body Integration
Includes self-massage, Yoga Nidra, and movement. The final session brings everything together through steady, intentional movement and guided touch, supporting the natural pathways of the lymphatic system before transitioning into deep rest, allowing the body to integrate, restore, and optimize overall flow.
What to Expect
– Intentional movement
– Guided breathwork
– Self-massage techniques
– Yoga Nidra
Benefits
– Support lymphatic and glymphatic function
– Reduce puffiness and inflammation
– Improve circulation and mobility
– Promote calm and overall well-being

Preschool Yoga & Mindfulness Experience
2026-05-27 16:15 - 17:00 | Wellness in Motion, 2541 E. College Ave, Suite 104, State College, PA, 16801, United States
Preschool Yoga & Mindfulness Experience… blends movement, music, and meditation into a joyful journey of self-discovery.
Designed specifically for early childhood, each class helps children:

Build emotional resilience
Practice kindness and empathy
Develop healthy self-soothing tools
Cultivate respect for all living beings
Connect to community and the earth

Through playful yoga sequences, heart-centered songs, breathwork, and guided relaxation, children learn that calm is something they can create within themselves—and that their actions matter in the world around them.
Because when children learn to regulate their bodies and emotions early, they grow into compassionate, confident humans.
Each class gently weaves in lessons on kindness, emotional awareness, self-soothing, and respect for ourselves, others, and the earth we share. Children explore big feelings in a safe and supportive space, build friendships rooted in empathy, and practice mindfulness tools they can use at home and in school.
We stretch, sing, breathe, imagine, and grow together. This is a caregiver and me class. Caregiver is expected to attend and participate in class with preschooler.

Free Community Workshop: The Vagus Nerve - What it is and Why it matters
2026-05-06 19:00 | Wellness in Motion, 2541 E. College Ave, Suite 104, State College, PA, 16801, United States
In a fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel like we always need to be “on.” While staying active can feel energizing, many of us struggle to truly rest—even when we know we need it.
Both energy and rest are deeply connected to the nervous system. Through simple practices like breathwork, gentle movement, and meditation, we can begin to support the body in finding more balance.
Join Sandra for this free, one-hour community workshop to explore how to build mindful awareness and experience these tools in your own body. You’ll leave with practical techniques to help you feel more grounded, calm, and restored.
This event is sponsored by the WIM Om-azing scholarship, while participation is free, pre-registration is required. This session will be offered both in studio and virtually.
