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!

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 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.
Contact us for more information about the benefits of infrared therapy or to
