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.

2026-03-28 15:00 - 16:15 | PA
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.

Preschool Yoga & Mindfulness Experience
2026-04-08 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.

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.
