As we emerge into 2023 and the year of the Rabbit, for this edition of Cuffing Club we offer a special wellness experience with an emphasis on enhancing alignment and beauty in our own skin. This year let’s feel good in our own bodies together! 


We will be hosting a special Align and Sculpt self-care workshop led by Yumi Sugata, a pioneer in Japanese Beauty Chiropractic. Visiting from Japan for the first time since before the pandemic, she will teach you simple, effective techniques for daily self-care to maintain a fresh and youthful face and body. Followed by a group pilates exercise led by New York based Mariko Russell. 


You will also have the opportunity to schedule individual face and body chiropractic therapy sessions with Yumi, and private pilates class with Mariko. Help yourself into feeling and looking your best with the principles of beauty chiro and pilates. 


Beauty Chiro is a Japanese chiropractic technique for correcting misalignments in the body. It aims to improve metabolism from the core. This therapy will help relieve toxins, drain lymphatic blockages, and alleviate stiff shoulders and lower back pains, while firming the muscles and fat. It is a non-invasive, light pressure technique to help us feel better and look toned. Feel the effect after just one treatment! However, regular care is required to retain its effectiveness. That is why we are offering this Sculpt and Align workshop.


We hope you will join us and learn tips for long sustaining physical and mental alignment, with a community that shares this curiosity and commitment for self care and improvement. We will offer an assortment of tea during our workshops. 


**Attendants of the workshop will be able to sign up for Yumi’s Beauty Chiropractic therapy at a special price.

Special Special developed Cuffing Club as a project for friendship building on the basis of accountability and leisurely activities. We hope to encourage platonic friendships to have similar social access and support as romantic partnerships and family units. Some Cuffing Considerations for Sculpt and Align:


* Cuffing Intermediate: Come learn and enjoy with friends!

* Cuffing Pro: Use what you learn and continue your wellness ritual with friends!!


To help maintain our alignment goals after the event, the Special Special and Persona community will expand online with videos and check-ins for people to have accountable partners to do group exercises, via the Persona app.
