SUP is Yoga on a paddle board in the water. SUP boards are large enough to act as a mat and sturdy enough to support standing on it to practice your asanas. Yoga on a SUP brings a whole new perspective to being fully present and in the moment!
Once settled in a calm area, we anchor our boards and move as a group from pose to pose in a Basic flow. We finish with seated meditation and savasana floating on your board, toes in the water and the sun on your skin – Ahhh!
Meet at Eastwood Beach lake access point inside Stony Creek. Please arrive 15-minutes early for check-in. Dress for the elements and come hydrated.
Pre-register early as space is limited to 14 participants per class.

Shamanism is an ancient healing tradition over 40,000 years old. Shamanic teachings focus on our connection to nature and all of creation. Shamanism involves working with transcendental energies in the physical and spiritual world to heal and balance in this world.
The Munay-Ki are a series of nine Empowerment Rites of Awakening passed down from the ancient Shamans of Peru. "Munay" means "love and will" together with "ki" from the Japanese word for energy, combine to give the meaning: Energy of Love
Shaman Joe will educate the group about the "Great Rites of Enlightenment" of the Munay-Ki and perform the nine Rites for each participant amongst the support of the group. Receiving these deep healing Rites is a very uplifting and personal experience to help you realize your sacred space, illuminate your spirit, open your heart, and align with your highest Self. This powerful transformation will take place over two separate sessions.

Expand The Horizons Of Body & Mind! | |
Saturday, July 30
3:30PM-5:30PM
$40 per person ($45 door)
Location: Rochester
|
In this Advanced Breathwork session, you will unlock your mind and body and explore yourself in ways you never imagined. Release your body's own reserve of psychedelic DMT, and see how deep into your mind and body you can go! You will learn:
- Advanced breathing management to go deeper into body and mind
- How to increase your ability to exercise more effectively
- How to unlock and release your body's own reserve of psychedelic DMT for deep stress release, increased creativity and focus
This session will profoundly impact your body and nervous system. This will allow your body to unlock more fully and allow your stress and tension to release while your curiosity bursts forth. You may experience physical releases of muscles that have been tight for a long time finally relaxing, emotions you have been holding on to may surface, you may see amazing visualizations, impossible sounds, and unlock a deeper understanding of yourself. All with the power of your own breath! You will learn how to remain calm and truly experience life and emotion, perhaps for the first time.
For this advanced class, attendees should have some familiarity with Wim Hof Method style breathing and be looking to expand knowledge of body and mind. If you do not have any prior breathwork experience, please arrive 15 min. early for some additional instruction from Dr. Brian. You will be profoundly changing your body's chemistry by breathing so for safety purposes we ask that pregnant women, people with uncontrolled high blood pressure or uncontrolled epilepsy do not participate in this particular breathwork class.
You will leave with a greater understanding of your body, be energized by breathing, and feeling amazing. Bring a yoga mat (or use one of ours) and wear comfortable warm clothing.

Yin With Props For Myofascial Release | |
Saturday, August 6 in Rochester | |
Target Key Areas For Deep Tissue Release! | |
Saturday, August 6
1:30PM-3:00PM
$25 per person ($30 door)
Location: Rochester
|
This 90 minute Yin Yoga practice is accompanied by self-massage techniques through the use of strategically placed props known as Myofascial Release (MFR). Both Yin and MFR target the fascia which is essentially the fabric that holds us together. These practices support the body's natural processes that keep fascia fluid, flexible and resilient.
Together these practices offer the opportunity to:
- Soothe the nervous system
- Create more easeful movement
- Support tissue recovery, health and hydration
During the practice you will learn more about the what, why and how of these complementary modalities as you:
- Explore target areas through gentle sustained pressure using various prop tools to release restriction: tennis balls/massage therapy balls, blocks and bolsters
- Surrender into longer-held, grounded Yin postures to nourish the tissue
- Bring awareness to the shift you can create with these practices and learn techniques that you can use in your own personal self-care practice

BREATHE Away Stress, Anxiety & Pain! This workshop is for anyone looking to learn how to breather better in daily life and/or fitness activities, those suffering from chronic stress, anxiety, PTSD, new pain, chronic pain, depression or respiratory related issues. This is also a great foundation for Yoga/Fitness instructors interested in expanding their horizons in breathwork. No prior fitness or breathwork experience needed.
This introductory session is designed to reduce stress, anxiety, inflammation, pain and help with mood and sleep. This is done through breathwork inspired by the Wim Hof Method and its Tummo style breathwork, light Yoga style stretching, and guided meditation specifically to help you get out of your head and into your body. This basic stress breathworkshop will give you the basic tools you need to start taking control of your life - simply by using your breath.
We will do this by breathing in a manner that will start to allow you to use your chest, lungs, brain, and body more effectively. You will develop control over systems that you otherwise hadn't thought possible. We will demonstrate this by showing you can do things like hold your breath much longer than you think, get in touch and gain control of your body.
You will learn:
- Optimal breathing mechanics and basic breathing principles
- Basic stress and pain management breathing: learn to focus and slow down
- Wim Hof Method style breathing to go deeper into your body and mind to unlock and release stress, anxiety and pain and recover more effectively
Bring a yoga mat (or use one of ours) and wear comfortable warm clothing. Most people tend to get chilly during breathwork and having warmer options available allow you to focus on your breath, mind and body.

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.
Chronic pain and tension in your neck, shoulders and spine is not only annoying but it can keep you from doing the things you love – or even getting a good night’s sleep. No matter what brought on your pain, you can help your body heal and rediscover pain-free living at any age. MELT is a simple self-treatment technique that boosts your body’s ability to heal by calming your nervous system and rehydrating your connective tissue. Learn how to release the compression of your spine from your neck, shoulders to the low back.
Join Stephanie Howard, Advanced-level MELT Method Instructor, for this unique workshop recommended for people with tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, neck pain, poor posture, and for those who simply want to improve their golf swing, tennis serve, or ability to perform functional tasks with ease and less pain.
Using MELT® balls and soft body rollers, learn how to combine compression and 2-directional fascial lengthening techniques with therapeutic exercises used to reintegrate optimal neuromuscular pathways, erase compensatory movement patterns, and help you live a more active life with less stiffness, aches and pains. Special focus on relieving tension, increasing mobility and restoring the vitality of the connective tissue supporting the shoulder girdle and spine (hands, arms, ribs, upper and lower spine, shoulders, neck and head).
Added benefits include reduced inflammation, eased chronic neck, shoulder and back pain, improved whole body alignment and reprogramming of healthy movement patterns.

MELT Stands For:
Myofascial Energetic Length Technique
The MELT Method® is a simple Hands-off Bodywork™ self-treatment using MELT Hand and Foot balls and specialized rollers 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 immediately!

MELT Method Whole Body Reset | |
Friday, September 23 in Rochester | |
For Increased Stability, Fluidity & Performance | |
Friday, September 23
7:30PM-9:00PM
$30 per person ($35 door)
MELT 4-Pack Workshop Special: $99
Pre-pay for any 4 MELT Workshops & Save!
Location: Rochester

Advanced-Level MELT® Instructor, Stephanie Howard, presents a MELT Hand, Foot and Body Treatment in an interactive, supportive, workshop environment. 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.
Want to amp up your performance whether it be in sports or in daily life? 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 Stability & Fluidity session, the MELT roller will be used to rebalance the NeuroCore system, which provides whole-body balance, gut support, and spinal stability. Through a series of simple yet precise MELT foot and roller techniques you will improve your Body Sense and notice changes as your body effortlessly finds greater alignment and balance to prevent compression and compensation that damages joints and inhibits your body’s ability to function optimally.
Learn how to activate your rooted and reflexive core and inherent stability by rehydrating connective tissue, making it more supportive and allowing release of long-held tension that can lead to chronic pain. Gain tools to help regain upper spine mobility, shoulder range of motion, and grip strength so that you can enjoy sports and daily living with less risk of injury and greater movement.
Benefits include: increased range of motion, neurological core strength and timing, 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.
