Join Instructors,
Carole Pompa-Rochester
and

Maniscalco-Sterling Hgts., for a weekly Chair Yoga session to ease into a mindful Yoga practice that can bring increased strength, flexibility and mobility into your life! Mike and Carole are certified E-RYT200 Yoga instructors. Mike has been teaching Chair Yoga to over 50 participants per week for over three years and Carole has been teaching Chair Yoga at Beaumont hospital for over two years.
Chair
Yoga
is a modified, gentle form of Hatha
Yoga
that is practiced sitting on a chair, or standing using a chair for support. Almost any traditional
Yoga
pose or move can be replicated and altered to accommodate
Chair Yoga
, and it is one of the gentlest forms of
Yoga available as it invites you
to find mobility in a way that is soft and gentle but also supportive and beneficial
.
Chair
Yoga is
an ideal exercise for
people who
have trouble moving through the up and down motions of traditional
Yoga
because
Chair Yoga
allows
you
to stay stabilized. Along with increased range of motion through holding poses on a chair, chair classes will also incorporate pranayama breathing and introduce meditation techniques to assist in reducing anxiety and creating spatial awareness.
Chair Yoga really is a great practice for EVERYONE because it deepens flexibility and strengthens personal body awareness. Improved flexibility, relieving chronic pain, cramps and stiffness, and creating a happy mental state are just a few of the benefits Chair Yoga can provide for our bodies to benefit anyone.
Chair Yoga is part of our weekly class schedule each Tuesday & Friday so you can drop-in anytime and walk-ins are always welcome. Regular class rates apply.

Native American drums and rattles of various shapes and sizes will be provided, and feel free to bring your own instruments.
The
drum circle embraces people of all ages and no drumming or meditation experience is
necessary.
Indigenous peoples of the world have for millennia gathered under the light of the Full Moon to dance and make music. The beat of the drums brings us in tune with the rhythms of nature to evoke and raise powerful currents of life energy.
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!

When you have arthritis, the simplest of tasks become more difficult. Your joints ache and you experience pain, limited mobility, and loss of strength.

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. No prior MELT or Yoga experience needed. Bring a Yoga mat (or use one of ours) and your water bottle. We'll provide use of MELT balls and rollers (or bring your own) which are also available for purchase after class.

Saturday, March 23
1:00PM-5:00PM
$99 per person ($110 door)
Includes all handouts and workshop materials
Location: Rochester
In this Introductory workshop, you'll learn that you have an individualized pattern of energy comprised of the Five
Elements ~
Air, Space, Fire, Water and Earth.
Just as everyone has a unique fingerprint, each person has a particular pattern of energy-an individual combination of physical, mental and emotional characteristics.
Ayurveda refers to the combination of the energies as
Doshas
.
Ayurveda
is considered to be one of the oldest healing sciences, and places it's emphasis on Balance and Prevention of
disease. It
means "The Science of Life," and is often called the "Mother of All Healing."
As you understand your individualized Body-Mind Personality or
Dosha
, you'll learn why you make choices and react differently to things, and that maintaining health and balance is also
individualized. You'll
also begin to learn how meditation, nutrition, herbs and more will bring you more joy and healthy living

MELT Method Workshop:
For Summer Stability & Fluidity

MELT Your Core!
For Summer Stability & Fluidity
Friday, May 10
7:30PM-9:00PM
$30 per person ($35 door)
Includes use of MELT balls/roller and take-home handouts
MELT 4-Pack Workshop Special: $99
Pre-pay For Any 4 MELT Workshops In 2019 & Save!
We will be offering one new MELT workshop per month thruout 2019
Location: Rochester
Certified
MELT® Instructor, Stephanie Howard, presents a MELT
Foot & Body Treatment featuring specialized
work with the roller to not only free up tension in knees, legs, pelvis and
spine but rehydrate
deep layers of connective tissue to help feel and look swimsuit and shorts
ready.
Do you have strong, subtle cells? The connective tissue system (fascia) supports, protects and stabilizes the whole body. Imbalance in this system is a common cause of back pain, gut issues, lower-belly paunch, and more. Traditional core exercises don't address - and often inhibit or impair - this neurological core system.
MELT addresses
this
neurofascial
system in a way no other self-treatment can.
In this Core Stability & Fluidity session,
t
he MELT roller
will be used to
rebalance
the
NeuroCore
system, which provides whole-body balance, gut support, and spinal stability.
Through
a series of easy, precise MELT foot and roller techniques you will improve your Body Sense and notice changes as your body effortlessly finds greater alignment and balance. Learn how to activate your own core strength and stability by rehydrating connective tissue, making it more
supportive
and allowing
release of long-held tension that can lead to chronic
pain. Learn simple, self
-treatments you can do at home to erase pain and tension in your body brought on by everyday stress, overuse and age
.
Benefits
include increased range of motion, core strength,
joint stability and improved
balance and posture
for your summer activities as
you reduce everyday aches and pains.
Rehydrating
your hips and legs
improves
texture of the superficial fascia on the backs of thighs (reduced cellulite) as well as increased hip, knee and ankle
stability.
