MELT Method - New Summer Series

MELT Method:

New Summer Series

offered by Mary Barton (bio)

Seven Thursdays from 11:30am - 12:30pm

July 2, 9, 23, 30 and August 8, 13, 20 ***

Location: MSY Garden Studio

What is the MELT Method?

Not foam rolling. Not stretching. Not exercise.

MELT is a gentle self-care technique that enhances mobility, stability and performance and is clinically proven to reduce chronic pain while restoring well-being.

Using soft roller and balls, MELT blends mindful meditation and breath work techniques to help the body's natural healing mechanisms through self-myofascial restorative techniques. This results in a calm mind, ease of pain symptoms and restored joint stability.

Students must be able to get down onto the floor. However, classes can be designed specifically for those needing a chair for support while seated or standing.

All equipment will be provided.

*** The classes are taught progressively, however, the main principles will be reiterated in every class. That means you do not have to commit to the entire series. You can register for any or all of the classes.

"Summertime is a time of light, growth and arrival." John O'Donohue

Join Amanda for a special 90-minute yoga practice to cultivate joy, balance and inspiration in your life. The workshop will begin with a grounding meditation to invite inward awareness, preparing your heart for practice. You'll then be guided through gentle yoga movements to stretch, strengthen and balance your physical body. The practice will then shift into an immersive sound bath experience, as you ease into a state of supported rest. You will enjoy a soundscape of English horn, Tibetan and Crystal singing bowls, Koshi chimes, rainsticks and other resonant instruments.

Arrive to deepen your connection to yourself...and emerge with the light of summertime in your spirit!

***Please note that this is a ticketed class that is non-refundable (but can be transferred to another person or to a later date for a sound bath). We appreciate your understanding.

Refresh and Radiate!

Face Yoga

Discover the unique gift of connecting with your face through Face Yoga - a natural, holistic approach to a radiant appearance and stronger mind-boy connection.

Face Yoga uses targeted facial exercises to tone, massage techniques to relax facial muscles, and marma therapy to delve deeper into the tension and energetics the face and head can hold. Combined, and with regular practice, we lift the skin, increase blood circulation, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and improve overall skin health, resulting in plumper, glowing skin. Better circulation also supports concentration and can help relive headaches. Beyond physical benefits, a daily face-focused practice boosts energy and encourages a deeper connection with yourself. Taking a few minutes each day to look at your face, read its signals, and listen to your inner voice helps you prioritize self-care, feel joy more freely, and deepen your personal practice. Join Hollie for a fun, hands-on workshop to explore these techniques and reveal a new depth to your practice.

Spaces are limited, so be sure to register soon to reserve your spot!
