Instructor Tina Pautz will help you lose any aversion to inversions with this hands-on workshop designed to teach you how to move into various inverted Yoga postures safely. Tina will guide you through the basics of proper set-up, technique and alignment for a series of arm balancing and inverted postures, and she'll work with you to help you get into position.
We'll start with some "warm-up" asana to prepare the upper body (shoulders and arms) for these challenging, fun postures, then workshop numerous tips and techniques designed to help you float - from down dog to head stand to hand stand, to crow to side crane and more!
Thisis a great opportunity to learn something new to expand and explore your Yoga practice with the safety of a spotter. Plus inverted postures are wonderful for your heart health.
No prior experience necessary, however, a strong desire to learn and practice seeing the world "upside down" is a definite plus!
Space is limited to ensure one-on-one assistance

for Core Stability, Flexibility & Cellulite

MELT 4-Pack Workshop Special: $99
Pre-pay For Any 4 MELT Workshops & Save!
We offer one new MELT workshop per month thruout 2020
Location: Rochester
Certified MELT® Instructor, Stephanie Howard, presents a MELT Hand, 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
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
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.
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.

hour of Yoga Nidra promotes
deep
physical, emotional and mental rest
and
relaxation, leaving
you with a sense of
wholeness,
that is as restful as several hours of
sleep.
Yoga
Nidra
is
a practice
that's easy to follow and everyone
of all ages
can
do. Simply lie
down on the
floor
in
savasana
(corpse pose
) and follow Yvonne's voice as she guides you. The art of self-care is approached from a therapeutic standpoint, creating a restorative environment for the mind, releasing anxiety and actually nourishing and rejuvenating the individual. The
stages of body scan and breath awareness calm the nervous system, leading to less stress and better health.

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.

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.
