State College, PA Events: Community Calendar

MOPS is a grassroots movement that believes moms are world influencers.
We also believe that incubating hearts and giving just-because-hugs can change the course of history. That’s why we connect moms who meet together to laugh, cry, and embrace the journey of motherhood.

We are moms, and we believe that better moms make a better world.

Come check it out! This year's theme is "Be You, Bravely."

MOPS is open to the public, meets Sept 18, 2014 - May 21, 2015 (1st & 3rd Thursdays of the month EXCEPT in Jan (Jan 2nd & 4th) from 9:30-11:30am)

Life is constantly transitioning. Pregnancy is by far one of the most remarkable transitions for your body, mind and spirit and Prenatal Lila Yoga is a way to bring greater awareness, clarity and joy as you embark on parenthood. There are numerous physical benefits of yoga that can support a healthy pregnancy as well as breath and body awareness to help find strength and courage during childbirth. Stacy, a mother, will help guide you to find an appropriate prenatal yoga practice that nurtures you as your pregnancy unfolds, offering modifications and props as appropriate.

Please check with your health care provider before beginning a prenatal yoga practice.
