RESONANCE: A Crystal Singing Bowl Experience
2025-10-05 17:00, 2025-11-02 17:00 - 18:15, 2025-12-07 17:00 - 18:15 (America/New_York) | Wellness in Motion, 2541 E. College Ave, Suite 104, State College, PA, 16801, United States
Restorative Sound & Breath Meditation

Join Jenn Dashem, Certified Sound Healer, for an evening sound bath to calm your mind and ground your nervous system. It’s truly a soul-nourishing experience. Bring your own mat and any props that will make you more comfortable in a reclined position: pillow, blanket, bolster, eye pillow, etc.

A sound bowl meditation is a deeply calming and restorative practice that uses the resonant tones of crystal bowls and other sound modalities to facilitate relaxation and healing. As the bowls are gently struck or played with a mallet, they produce harmonic vibrations that resonate through the body, encouraging a state of deep focus and inner peace. These vibrations can help balance energy, clear emotional blockages, and promote mental clarity. The sounds guide participants into a meditative state, where the mind quiets, stress melts away, and a sense of tranquility and rejuvenation takes over. The soothing tones create a space for mindfulness, offering a unique experience of sound therapy that nurtures mind body and spirit.

Yoga Nidra Mini-Series
2026-01-08 20:30 - 21:00 | Wellness in Motion, 2541 E. College Ave, Suite 104, State College, PA, 16801, United States
While generally thought of as a form of relaxation, Yoga nidra is technically a meditation technique. During the practice, one appears to be asleep, but the consciousness is functioning on a deeper level of awareness. Unlike traditional meditation, Yoga nidra doesn’t require you to sit tall or to concentrate and still your mind. In yoga nidra, the state of relaxation is reached by systematically turning inwards and away from outer experiences, providing the practitioner with deep relaxation.

It has been said that one hour of yoga nidra is equivalent to four hours of sleep. During the darker months when many animals hibernate, us humans tend to pack in more doing, more buying, more visiting and more expectations. Give yourself the gift of rest with this mini-series.

This series, taught by Jill, takes place via zoom, in the comfort of your own home. Your registration will come with recordings so you can revisit these nidras.
Nidra Sessions: 4 consecutive Thursdays at 8:30pm starting January 8th

Groovy Chi: Qigong, Intuitive Dance, & Vocal Toning
2026-01-17 15:00 - 16:30 | Wellness in Motion, 2541 E. College Ave, Suite 104, State College, PA, 16801, United States
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.

Yoga Nidra for Spring Equinox: Put Winter to Bed
2026-03-19 20:30 - 21:00 | we
Are you ready to Put Winter to Bed? Join Jill for Yoga Nidra, a gentle non-moving practice designed to support the transition from winter’s inward stillness into the subtle awakening of early spring. Through guided relaxation, breath awareness, and imagery of rest and release, we will quiet the nervous system, and release patterns from winter that no longer need to be carried forward. This practice cultivates deep rest, closure, and renewal, creating space for clarity, intention, and the return of vitality.
What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra is a still-practice that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home via zoom. Also known as “yogic sleep,” Yoga Nidra is a deeply restorative meditation technique that takes you into a state of conscious relaxation. Through breathwork, visualization, and mindfulness, you’ll tap into a place of stillness, clarity, and peace. A form of meditation, Yoga Nidra uses breath awareness, body scan, guided visualization and other techniques to re-wire the entire nervous system.
Benefits of Yoga Nidra:
✔ Release tension and stress ✔ Reduce anxiety and PTSD symptoms
✔ Improve sleep quality ✔ Improve chronic pain symptoms
✔ Enhance focus and creativity ✔ Increased memory and concentration
✔ Cultivate emotional balance ✔ Restore energy and vitality
Yoga Nidra is a deeply healing form of rest: 45 minutes of Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 3 hours of sleep.
Who is it for?

Qigong for World Peace & Self-Healing
2026-04-11 11:30 - 12:30 | Wellness in Motion, 2541 E. College Ave, Suite 104, State College, PA, 16801, United States
In times of global tension, it can feel overwhelming and even disheartening.
In this special Qigong class, we will use the power of intention to heal and clear feelings of anger and sadness, and to generate kindness, love, and peace — empowering us to extend them outward into the world.
In Qigong, the forces of Heaven, Humans, and Earth govern the state of our world and the perceptions and actions that shape it. When humans are out of alignment with Heaven and Earth, it creates disharmony and things become chaotic. When we are in alignment with Heaven and Earth, we become an open conduit between these two forces, creating harmony and balance.
In this practice, Savitri Cole will guide you through breath, flowing movement, and meditation to help you expand into your human potential to align Heaven and Earth and embody your essential role as a bridge to world peace and the well-being of the Earth.

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.
