A mat-based formatted class designed for people who like to sweat & burn calories! Inspired by Yoga and Pilates using focus, flow, and fusion-style movements, as it incorporates dynamic balance, strength, flexibility, and functional training in a rhythmic style. Suitable for all levels!

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

This class offers a sequence of poses that focus on connecting movement to breath. This practice cultivates mindfulness and non-judgmental awareness of body alignment, sensations, and energy flow. Movement (through asanas) and rest (through guided meditation in savasana) are both incorporated to encourage centering in the physical body through attentiveness to the breath to quiet the mind. Some previous yoga experience is helpful, but not required.

This class is a fusion of vinyasa flows and longer holds of yin yoga. The vinyasa portion will connect breath with movement through asanas, while the yin portion of class will give you a deep stretch to target deep connective tissue. A great combination to fuel your body, mind, and soul. This class is suitable for all levels of experience, with modifications provided.

This is the quarterly open board meeting presented by the leadership of Happy Valley Golden Wheel. At these meetings we will present issues to the members of the group, including such things as bylaws and policy changes, event schedule for the year ahead and committee reports. All paid members are able to vote on issues presented for a vote at this time. Anyone may attend and become a member of HVGW for only $20 per year (cash preferred).

Impress and Shock your special loved one with a Singing Valentine on 2/13 or 2/14.

Kick off your Valentine's Day Celebration with a few laughs and a few tunes crooned in the A Capella Barbershop Style by your own personal Barbershop Quartet from the Nittany Knights Mens A Capella Chorus.

Exploding the possibilities of painting, Ashley’s inflatable sculptures look for a space for paint to live and breath as tattooed skins on hybrid bodies. In this exhibition, kinetic boulders float and lumber throughout the gallery, irreverent and humorous. The works are both absurdist performances and spaces for play, each entangled with curiosities as numerous as expandable foam, aliens, cake frosting, wrinkled skin, and exhalation.
. All are welcome to a free, informal celebration on Sunday, November 10th 4-6 pm. HUB Gallery is ope

In conjunction with the opening of the show, a live performance will take place-12 students will inhabit Ashley’s sculptures and perform her work Hot Rocks, wherein the artist speculates on the future evolution of our species, whether on or off planet.

Hello hello, Dennis Alan here and I am starting this Meetup to talk everything homesteading, self sufficiency other ways to improve our lives. I moved out here from the NYC area to build an off grid homestead on my 28 acres in Woodward, PA. I have studied permaculture for years and had a pretty cool little urban homestead in Jersey City, NJ. Let's all share knowledge, time and energy with other like-minded folks and start changing our lives for the better.
