Athletes push their bodies on a regular basis, causing repetitive strain injuries that they frequently overlook until they become so severe they threaten the continuing in the athletes’ sport. Since 1989 the Julstro Muscular Therapy self-treatments have been proven successful with thousands of athletes worldwide. Sports injuries aren’t just a matter of rubbing where it hurts, it’s actually vital to find the source of the pain rather than just focusing on the symptoms.

This class is designed with athletes in mind, but it’s also wonderful for non-athletes or anyone who suffers from chronic pain. Each session will focus on specific conditions, explaining why muscles that may be far from the pain are causing the problem. Then after watching Julie as she is demonstrating how to self-treat each muscle involved in that painful condition, you will do each of the self-treatments. This class also explains how releasing the knots in the muscles will allow you to get a better stretch without tearing the tight muscle.

Revitalize and renew your body, mind and spirit at noon with this energizing yoga class. We’ll begin the practice with meditation to check in with ourselves and set an intention for the practice. We’ll then begin vinyasa or flow where we heat up the body and connect movement with breath.  This new class will have more heat and variety in the vinyasa, along with more held standing poses, floor work, abdominals, backbends, and inversions.  We will end with savasana and a brief meditation to check in with what we have created, and notice the many benefits from this practice.

This class is for all levels and we will slowly and consciously progress into poses and offer modifications so that you can safely explore moving your body in a new way.

Class pass $10/drop-in $12.

Today’s hoop is more than a children’s toy from yesterday. Our hoops are adult-sized, making them easier to use, thereby opening up possibilities of dance and meditation- as well as fitness- for both men and women. Hooping provides an excellent aerobic workout that strengthens the core, increases flexibility, balance, rhythm and body awareness, and clears the path to creative self-expression. For some, Hooping is dance with resistance. For others, Hooping is a rhythmic exchange of grace and strength. In this class, students will learn the fundamental movements and theories of Hooping from two instructors. Hoops will be provided for class, custom hoops available for sale.
