Celebrate spring with PSU's NSSLHA by making rainbows, daisies, and umbrellas.

This class features yoga-inspired movement, songs, and baby play especially for newborn to pre-crawling babies as well as calming, nurturing ways to enhance bonding and support baby’s development, digestion and sleep. Most of the yoga we do in Baby Yoga is for baby, but parents will get to do a little bit of moving and stretching as well as breathing and relaxation techniques. Most appropriate from 6-weeks postpartum until baby is mobile. No previous yoga experience necessary.

The foundation of vinyasa is linking breath to movement. In this invigorating class, you will create heat and energy in the body as you flow through a sequence of postures linked by breath. In addition to physical postures that build balance, strength, and flexibility, this class integrates pranayama breathwork and meditation to instill a sense of calm and relaxation. An extended savasana at the end of practice provides an opportunity to soak in these mind-body benefits. Whether you are newer to yoga or an advanced practitioner, different pose variations are given so you may practice at your own comfort level.

Stay up to date on our most recent class schedule, via our website: http://www.wellnessinmotionstudio.com/classes-and-events/class-calendar/

The Contemporary Art in this show is local, diverse, and expresses a vital cultural heritage that has been thousands of years in the making.

Art is not just a copy of nature. It is a relationship and emotion that is communicated to the artist. It finds the soul like a seed and then it begins. It already knows the artist. What is that seed? Color, structure, inspiration or the challenge of it all. Painting is very personal for me. It is a beautiful inner, in-depth experience and watercolor is the perfect medium. It rewards me with energy.

Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Penns Valley Music Boosters Launches Shoe Collection Drive to Raise money for Band and Band Front Uniforms
Shoe donations will also support micro-enterprises in developing nations and reduce what goes into landfills
Spring Mills, PA, March 1, 2019: Penns Valley Music Boosters is conducting a shoe collection drive on March 1st – April 30th to raise funds for Band and Band Front Uniforms. The PV Music Boosters will earn funds based on the number of pairs collected as Funds2Orgs will purchase all the donated goods. Those dollars will benefit the student's uniform fund. Anyone can help by donating gently worn, used or new shoes at the following locations: American Legion Post 779, Centre Hall; Weaver’s Store, Spring Mills; Shades of Red Salon, Aaronsburg; Old Gregg School Community Center, Spring Mills; Centre Hall Library, Centre Hall.
All donated shoes will then be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of microenterprise partners in developing nations. Funds2Orgs helps impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses in countries such as Haiti, Honduras and other nations in Central America and Africa. Proceeds from the shoe sales are used to feed, clothe and house their families. One budding entrepreneur in Haiti even earned enough to send to her son to law school.
“We are excited about our shoe drive," said Amy Smith, Music Booster President. "We know that most people have extra shoes in their closets they would like to donate to us and help those less fortunate become self-sufficient. It’s a win-win for everyone,” added Amy.
By donating shoes to the Penns Valley Music Boosters, the shoes will be given a second chance and make a difference in people’s lives.
