- Staff temperature checks upon arriving to studio
- Face masks or face shields worn by staff when client interfacing
- Hand sanitizer and/or wipes available at front desk, practice rooms and common areas
We ask that you please help by following these Client Health & Safety Protocols:

For Anti-Aging

$30 per person (pre-registration required). Includes use of MELT balls/roller and take-home handouts
MELT 4-Pack Workshop Special $99. Pre-pay For Any 4 MELT Workshops & Save!

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.

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.

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!
