One month until the Boston Marathon… How is your body holding up? 🏃‍♂️

Training miles add up quickly, and even the most experienced runners start to feel it this time of year. Whether you’re chasing a PR or preparing for your very first Boston Marathon, giving your body the right support now can make all the difference on race day.

What if the most powerful workout you could do… started with a chair? 🪑✨

At Power Up Chair Yoga, we believe in one simple truth: Movement is Medicine. The right kind of movement—at the right pace—can improve strength, flexibility, balance, and overall well-being at any stage of life.

This welcoming, all-levels class with Jennifer Harvey blends gentle warm-ups, seated and standing postures using chair support, light weight training, brain-boosting exercises, and restorative yoga to release tension and calm the mind.

It’s a wonderful option for anyone recovering from injury, easing back into movement, or looking for a balanced workout without getting up and down from the floor.

Tuesday 11:30am–12:30pm
Thursday 10:30–11:30am
$28

Pull up a chair and come see how good your body can feel. Your spot is waiting.

Yoga… but make it a space where teens can truly be themselves. 🌈

Our Monthly Teen LGBTQ+ Yoga Workshop is more than just a class—it’s a welcoming place for youth ages 13+ to move, breathe, and connect with others who get it.

Led by Henri Garrison Desany, each session blends breath-work, beginner-friendly yoga poses with lots of options, and mindfulness practices that help students build confidence and feel at home in their bodies.

The theme? Balancing resiliency with rest. Some days we need strength, other days we need a deep breath—and this class makes room for both. Whether it’s a first time on the mat or part of an ongoing practice, everyone belongs here.

📅 March 21 | 1–2:30 PM

📅 April 18 | 1–2:30 PM

💲 $30

Grab a mat, bring a friend, and come see why this might become the most relaxing part of your month.

Feeling that familiar sinus pressure creeping in—the kind that makes your whole face feel heavy? You’re not alone. Between head colds, dry indoor air, allergies, and sinus infections, congestion can make even simple days uncomfortable.

The good news: relief may be right at your fingertips.

A few simple acupressure points on the face can help open nasal passages, ease sinus pressure, and support clearer breathing between treatments.

• Bladder 2 – at the inner edge of each eyebrow. Apply gentle inward and upward pressure for 30 seconds.

• Large Intestine 20 – beside the nostrils in the smile lines. Press toward the opposite eye to help open nasal passages.

• Stomach 2 – just below the pupil on the cheekbone. Massage gently to ease pressure in the cheeks and eyes.

These simple techniques can offer relief between visits, and therapies like Acupuncture, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and Craniosacral Therapy can provide deeper support for lingering congestion.

If congestion has been hanging around longer than you’d like, it might be time to give your sinuses a little extra support—come see us and breathe a bit easier.

“I’d try acupuncture… but I hate needles.”

If we had a dollar for every time we heard that, we’d probably be booking a beach vacation. ☀️

Here’s the thing most people don’t realize: acupuncture needles are over 10 times smaller than the needle used for a typical shot at the doctor’s office. They’re incredibly thin—more like a tiny hair than the needles people imagine.

Many patients are surprised that they don’t feel them at all. Occasionally there’s a quick little sensation (think mosquito bite), but that’s usually it. No big pinch, no lingering soreness, and definitely nothing like getting a shot.

In fact, it’s pretty common for people to get so relaxed during treatment that they nearly fall asleep.

Still unsure? There’s only one real way to find out. Come see what the tiniest needles can do for you at Stepping Stone Acupuncture & Wellness.

When a migraine steals your entire day, it’s more than “just a headache.”

If you live with migraines, you know how quickly plans are canceled, work gets sidelined, and time with family becomes time in a dark room. You may have tried medications, only to be frustrated by side effects or short-term relief.

At Stepping Stone Acupuncture & Wellness in Wellesley, we offer a safe, effective, and lasting approach to chronic migraine care through acupuncture.

Many patients experience fewer, less intense migraines with consistent treatment. We typically begin with weekly sessions, then gradually space them out as your body stabilizes—carefully monitoring your progress every step of the way.

You don’t have to plan your life around your next migraine.

Let’s help you reclaim your calendar—schedule your appointment and take the first step toward clearer, brighter days.

Tight hips. Stiff shoulders. That subtle tension you’ve learned to live with… what if you didn’t have to?

On March 21st from 2–4pm, join us at Stepping Stone Studios in Wellesley for our Anatomy of the Fascia Workshop — a restorative, hands-on experience designed to help you release deeply held stiffness and reconnect with your body.

Guest Instructor Susannah van der Wende has taught for decades around New England and is a highly acclaimed yoga instructor and educator. This is the third monthly workshop she is offering at our studio — whether you have studied with Susannah before or this is your first time, you (and your body) are in for a treat!

Fascia plays a powerful role in how you move and feel. Through guided self-myofascial release, you’ll gently ease restrictions that may be limiting mobility or contributing to discomfort.

This practice can enhance body awareness, support your nervous system’s rest-and-restore response, and leave you feeling lighter, calmer, and more at home in your body.

Two hours. $40. A noticeable shift in how you move through your day.

Is your teen carrying more than just a backpack this school year? 🎒

Between academics, social pressures, and nonstop schedules, it’s easy for teens to feel overwhelmed. That’s where Mary Kaye Chryssicas steps in. After years in Boston’s fast-paced advertising world, she found yoga to be the one practice that truly helped her slow down and focus on what matters—and she now shares that gift with young people.

An award-winning author, motivational speaker, and host of Mary Kaye’s Positivity Podcast (ranked in the top 2.5% of podcasts in the U.S.), Mary Kaye blends heart-opening yoga with practical tools that help teens build confidence and resilience.

Give your teen one hour each week to breathe, reset, and grow.

Still feeling swollen weeks after surgery… or waking up with that stubborn sinus pressure that won’t budge?

When fluid isn’t moving the way it should, your body feels it. Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage at Stepping Stone Acupuncture & Wellness in Wellesley is a gentle, highly specialized technique designed to encourage healthy lymph flow and reduce excess swelling.

This therapy is often recommended after surgery to support recovery and minimize edema. It can also help with chronic sinus congestion, inflammatory arthritis, venous insufficiency, hormonal swelling, and lingering fluid retention after illness.

Clients often describe the experience as calming, light, and surprisingly powerful. It’s not deep tissue — it’s precise, intentional work that helps your body do what it’s meant to do.

Note: If you have had recent surgery or cosmetic treatment, we request you have a doctor’s note clearing you for this therapy.

If your body feels “stuck,” consider this your invitation to help it move forward.

Schedule your 90-minute session — your recovery deserves thoughtful care.

Ever notice how rarely we give ourselves permission to simply move — without trying to improve, achieve, or perform?

On March 13 from 6–7:30pm, join us at Stepping Stone Studios in Wellesley for an Ecstatic Flow workshop with Dima Bosko. This 90-minute experience blends ecstatic dance with simple, body-based tools to help regulate the nervous system, release tension, and reconnect you to yourself.

There’s no choreography and nothing to “get right.” You’ll be guided to tune into your body, follow your natural impulses, and move in ways that feel supportive and freeing. Dima shares the same grounding practices she uses in her own work — designed to calm the mind and bring you back to center.

Open to all levels and all bodies.
