Re-Opening For In-Studio Classes Still Pending...
We're still awaiting a date from the state permitting fitness centers and gyms in lower Michigan to re-open for in-person, in-studio classes. We have our social distancing and cleanliness Policies and Procedures in place and are ready to serve you safely in-studio once permitted to do so.
In the meantime, we've expanded our UpDog Yoga From Home Online offerings to be more robust with a variety of classes and instructors. Plus, all of our Outdoor Events and In-studio Workshops continue as previously scheduled and more being added regularly. Just like our In-Studio Yoga Classes, all In-Studio Workshops have limited capacity in order to maintain 6-ft. social distancing and pre-registration is required (no walk-ins at this time). You can stay updated and view them all by clicking the Workshops page.
Once again, we greatly appreciate your support and patience as we await the state's permission to serve you with In-Studio classes. Your response to our online and outdoor offerings thus far has been great, and we are grateful to maintain our connection with you and the entire UpDog community!
Should you have any additional questions or needs, please let us know:

Join Us For NEW
Weekly Online
Live Stream Classes
Beginning Sunday, July 5
Plus Free Online Classes Wednesday, July 8!

UpDog Yoga From Home Online offerings which now include:
- Weekly ONLINE Live Stream Classes led virtually by an UpDog instructor at pre-scheduled times each day of the week so you can tune-in live
- Facebook Video Library with full access to 270 individual, pre-recorded Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulness class videos from UpDog instructors for viewing anytime at your convenience
Weekly ONLINE Live Stream Classes Begin This Sunday, July 5

Pre-registration for each class you'd like to attend is required.
How It Works:
- Pre-register for online classes on any given day/week of your choice directly from the UpDog class schedule at our website or the MindBody app. - just like you would if you were pre-registering for an in-person class, so no extra steps or other sites/platforms to access. Everything automatically syncs to your UpDog Yoga account with us!
- Visit the Schedule page of our website and look for the classes listed as "ONLINE LIVE STREAM". Note there are separate Online Live Stream schedules for either Rochester or Sterling Hgts. studio locations. Any existing class packages you have will be valid for Online Live Stream classes at the studio location you originally purchased them, or you may always purchase additional Online Live Stream classes for either location:
-
Once you pre-register online, a link will be emailed to you to join the class 30 min. prior to the scheduled class time (if you register less than 30-min. prior to class start, you can still attend and will receive a link within a couple of minutes). Click the link sent via email at class time, follow the prompts to access the live stream, and enjoy your class!
Please check your spam folder if you do not receive the email and also confirm your email address on file with us is up-to-date by visiting
My UpDog Account
- If you already have Class Packs on your account, your package will be deducted one class for each Online Live Stream class you attend (excludes free classes on July 7).
- Unlimited package holders with an active membership can attend any Online Live Stream classes anytime, plus access our Facebook Video Library of over 270 pre-recorded classes, at no additional cost. Just sign-up online for any classes you'd like to attend.
- If you're new to UpDog, don't already have an existing UpDog class package, or your package has expired, visit the Pricing page of our website to view all the class package options which include everything from Online Live Stream Single Class purchases to Monthly Unlimited Online, to Unlimited In-Studio/Online package combos:
Facebook Video Library - Available Now
The
UpDog Yoga From Home Online Facebook Group is still available ongoing. It's stocked with a complete video library of over 270 pre-recorded Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulness classes, from a variety of UpDog instructors, which you can view at your convenience anytime!

- Anyone with a 3-Month Unlimited or 6-Month Unlimited package that recently expired April-June will still receive free access to the group until July 31, 2020 as a courtesy, given a portion of your package was not available for In-Studio class use due to the statewide COVID-19 quarantine March 16 thru present.

Germicidal UVC Sterilaser™
|
|
|
Check out video of the Sterilaser in action!
|
Germicidal UVC Disinfects All Practice Rooms,
Floors and Yoga Mats (including yours) In Seconds!
As we are all mindful of maintaining a clean, germ-free space, we want to introduce you to the Sterilaser
™ cleaning device we now have at UpDog and will be using between classes on all floors thruout both studio locations.
This unit is now part of our regular cleaning regimen,
in addition to our regular dry and wet mop cleaning procedures we do on all practice room floors as well as hallways, lobby and bathroom floors.
What is also very cool is that we can also use it to disinfect all of our rental Yoga mats and can even use on
your own personal Yoga mat
just by running it across your mat before and/or after class!
Sterilaser delivers a massive dose of germicidal ultraviolet (UVC) light to disinfect any large flat surface. When pulled at a normal walking pace, it kills over 99.7% of all pathogens in its path in less than a quarter of a second (as verified by bio-medical testing at Oakland University and other studies.
Click here to view the OU study results
.) It is perfectly safe, super quick, easy to use, and a chemical free (Green Technology) product.
It destroys dangerous germs, bacteria and viruses such as Hepatitis, STAPH (including MRSA), E-Coli, Salmonella, HIV and the Influenza-Viruses. Microorganisms, such as ring worm and dust mites are instantly killed, as is mold and mildew. As a "Green Technology" UVC does not contribute to the development of resistant strains of microorganisms, as do other antimicrobials and antibiotics.
Hospitals have been using germicidal UVC for years. The Sterilaser unit in particular has been around for about 7 years and was concepted and manufactured right here in Rochester, MI out of a need to disinfect wrestling and gymnastics mats and is actively used in schools and gymnasiums nationwide. An UpDog client's husband, who is a former wrestler, emailed me about it when we began evaluating and looking for ways to further improve our cleanliness procedures to combat Coronavirus in early March.
We're pleased to be able to find a way to bring this same germicidal technology into the studio to make it as germ free as possible and to give all a little more peace of mind when practicing. We have two Sterilaser units and will use at both of the UpDog Rochester and Sterling Hgts. locations on a daily basis.
According to the manufacturer, we are the first Yoga studio nationwide to utilize the Sterilaser and we are excited to bring this technology to our Yoga community!

As participants relax, enjoy and explore the music, their natural creativity and curiosity emerges and the rhythms grow and change. Each person is able to express themselves through their individual instrument while simultaneously participating as part of a larger whole for a therapeutic experience - a new voice, a collective voice, emerges as we drum together and just have fun!

Connective tissue dehydration is a natural process of daily living.
It's
happening to
everyone...
when you sit you're pulling connective
tissue. Aches
are a sign of dehydration, but they usually go away when you move so you never do anything about it -- but it accumulates and causes problems
.
One of the
many benefits
of the MELT method is that it helps reverse the signs of aging. When your cells don't have fluid they die. This creates
low-grade
inflammation and accelerates aging. Learn how short bouts of tension and compression encourage cells to react, and as they react, there's a fluid exchange, creating cellular repair.
This
session
will include hand and foot treatments, the
50-second
face lift, targeted moves with the roller to improve circulation, reduce stiffness, create freedom of
movement
and space within. Learn
how to stimulate the cells that produce collagen in your skin and restore your skin's natural hydration from the inside out.
MELT
techniques keep our connective tissue and nervous system in top condition and slow down the aging process. MELT rejuvenates tissue hydration and relieves the tension of day-to-day life that gets trapped in our bodies.

When you have arthritis, the simplest
of tasks become
more difficult. Your joints ache and you experience pain,
limited
mobility, and loss of strength. Chronic pain is exhausting and frustrating and it can keep you from doing the things you love, or getting a good night's sleep.
No
matter what brought on your pain, you can learn how to help your body heal and rediscover pain-free living at any age. Learn how to return the body to a more ideal state and release the compression of
your joints and spine,
from your neck to your low
back, with a simple
MELT
self-care routine. This session provides a hands, feet and body treatment targeting key joint and inflammation hot spots. Erase
pain and tension in your hands, feet, lower back and neck brought on by everyday stress, overuse, and age.

Module Drop-In & Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Credits
Maintain Your RYT200 or RYT500 Certification with CEC
For those considering teacher training but can't make the time c
ommitment for a full 200-hour
training program, you can choose from one or more of our Fall training modules at a drop-in rate. This is a great way to learn more, enhance your practice and experience a portion of the teacher training experience for one or more sessions to see if a full training program may be part of your future.
Or perhaps you are already a registered RYT, who would like to further hone your skills and earn Continuing Education credits to maintain your Yoga Alliance certification while focusing on specific areas that simply need polishing. This is especially helpful if you have not taught for any length of time or feel adequate time was not spent on certain areas of your prior training, such as class flow construct, adjustments, anatomy, practice teaching time in a studio setting, etc.
Cost to attend a full day and earn CE is $175 per day. Attend multiple days and save at only $125 per day for two or more days.
You can submit the hours you complete as Continuing Education Contact Hours toward your Yoga Alliance CE requirements.
