Myofascial Tissue Release and underwent an extensive two year training of the MELT Method
® to learn more. She is excited to be able to share the many benefits of MELT with you!
These techniques have been used by professional athletes, coaches and therapists as one of the best advances in exercise and rehab and are a beneficial everyday practice for people at all levels of fitness to help restore your body to maintain a flexible, active and pain-free lifestyle.
Throughout the series of monthly MELT Method workshops, Stephanie will teach you how to safely and effectively target all the major muscle/fascia groups in the body from head to toe. Specific sequences will target common trouble spots from your neck and shoulders, to lower back and hips, all the way down to legs and toes. Roll away tension, stress and congestion, and improve alignment and suppleness in your body!
Everyone can benefit, regardless of fitness level, whether you attend an individual MELT workshop, or join us monthly to learn more techniques to target specific areas of the body.

stands for:
Myofascial
Energetic Length
Technique
The MELT Method® is a simple self-treatment that accesses and restores hydration in the body and reconnects with our internal autopilot/nervous system to reduce chronic pain - helping us stay healthy, youthful and active. The missing link to pain-free living is:
a
balanced nervous system and healthy connective tissue. These two components work together to provide your body support and optimal mind-body communication. MELT directly
addresses these body systems in a way no other
self
-treatment
can. You'll notice results
in the first session.
Learn
how
connective
tissue
gets
dehydrated,
common
aches and pains it can cause,
and how
to rehydrate this essential system in your body. Learn
simple self
-treatments you can do at home to erase pain
and
tension
in your hands, feet, neck and shoulders and headaches brought
on
by everyday
stress, overuse, and age.
Benefits
of
MELT
include
:
- Relief from neck and low back pain, arthritis, bunions, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome
- More energy and less fatigue throughout your day
- Reduced tension and stress
- Fall asleep more easily and sleep more soundly
- Improved posture, balance and flexibility

environment, featuring
techniques from the New York Times best-selling book
"
The MELT Method
".
Deep sleep is when cellular repair is dominant. If you don't get a sound night's sleep it's one of the primary reasons you accumulate stress and ultimately accelerate your aging process.
Learn how to rest
and restore with targeted MELT sequences
to
help in rebalancing and calming the nervous system.
Use
this class to help
naturally shift
your body into rest and repair mode, so you
can not only
get to
sleep, but STAY asleep,
and
wake-up
rested and
refreshed. This is also a great time of year to reset, as Summer begins to draw to a close and we often experience seasonal changes in both our environment as well as our daily routines and sleep patterns.
In this Deep Sleep session, special
attention
will be given to releasing
low back and
neck
areas
that often cause
pain and interfere
with the rest and restore necessary for sleep.
Learn
how to return the body to a more ideal state and release the compression of your spine from your neck to your low back.
This
class features the Soft Ball Foot Treatment, Rebalance Sequence, Lower Body Compression Sequence, and Neck Release
Sequence. Very gentle, restorative Yoga
poses will complete the session.
No prior MELT or Yoga experience needed. Bring your 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.

techniques from the New York Times best-selling book
"
The MELT Method
".
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.
No prior MELT or Yoga experience needed. Bring your 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.

techniques from the New York Times best-selling book
"
The MELT Method
".
Take your
Yoga practice or other fitness routines
to the next level and learn how to avoid common
injuries.
While Yoga and other forms of physical exercise
can improve flexibility and muscular strength, it can also cause compensation, compression and even pain
if
done
incorrectly and repetitively. How
do you go deeper in your practice and become more grounded and centered while reducing the risk of injury
? MELT
is a perfect complement and pro-active solution to
Yoga and exercise,
whether you are just beginning or
have been practicing for years.
MELT is a simple, easy self-treatment technique that directly affects the part of your body commonly stressed during
Yoga or physical exercise
- your connective tissue.
Better
than modifying postures as we age, we can learn how to truly return our body to its ideal state.
This
session
will
focus on how
to rebalance your nervous system and rehydrate your connective tissue, which surrounds muscles and joints.
Learn
how treating this tissue can improve your alignment, strength and even your
breath.
The
MELT hand and foot treatment is a perfect complement to
Yoga
, whether you are just beginning or have been practicing for
years.
The
roller will be used to help stabilize pelvis and shoulders as well as create space and
fluidity.
No prior MELT or Yoga experience needed. Bring your 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.

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.

No prior Yoga experience necessary. Everyone Welcome!
Join Instructors,
Carole Pompa-Rochester
and
Mike
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 in Sterling Hgts. & Fridays in Rochester, so you can drop-in anytime and walk-ins are always welcome.
Regular class rates apply.

We incorporate many different massage modalities into our therapeutic massages, based on the specific needs of each client. Some clients may want a slower, more relaxing massage. Some may want us to use techniques to aid a specific region of the body that is tight, or hurting.
We target layers of muscle and connective tissue to release adhesions, which are rigid bands of tissue that can cause pain and chronic tension. We also incorporate modalities such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, and a variety of other techniques into each massage. Cupping therapy can also be used upon request.
Our infrared saunas are the perfect complement to a massage or Yoga class, or as a stand-alone sauna appointment for better health, stress and pain management. Saunas feature chromotherapy, aromatherapy and acoustic resonance sound therapy as one of your many available selections.
