How Do I Get to yogaBliss ReMix?

We know inquiring minds want to know...especially when it comes to finding new places in Miami!

yogaBliss ReMix is held at Ironside, which inside the Coverings ETC Miami Headquarters. The address is 7610 NE 4th Court, 33138

Here's the Deal...

Whether you're coming North or South on 95, exit on the 79 - 81 street exit in North Miami and head East when you exit which is 79th Street for about a mile. The train tracks are your landmark which are right before 4th Court. As you cross over the train tracks you'll make the first right, which is 4th Court.  As you come down 4th Court...you're there and will see people, signs, etc.

Biscayne: Coming from the north, make a right on 79th Street in North Miami. Make a left on 4 Court before the train tracks...As you come down 4th Court...you're there and will see people, signs, etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coming from the south, as your heading north, make a left on 71st street in North Miami. Then make a right onto NE 4th Court...As you head up 4th Court...you're there and will see people, signs, etc. PLEASE NOTE, you cannot make a left on 79th street from Biscayne.

Tips on how to have the best yBR experience
  1. Arrive early! The sooner you arrive the more spaces you'll have to choose from for parking and in movement area. yBR begins promptly at 7p, doors open at 6p.
  2. Complete and submit your release form before each yBR (one time form for those who purchase the entire series). This will allows through the express check-in and avoid lines.
  3. Bring as little as possible with you. Just as you would when you go to the gym or to yoga studio - less is best! However, we do encourage cameras. There will be a Shoe Check since we do not wear shoes in yoga, where you can check your personal belongings as well. For safety, the only items allowed in the movement area is 1 water container per person.
  4. Read the Safety and Yoga Tips. no fun showing up in uncomfortable gear or unaware of important details. There will be a Safety Team on-site. 
  5. Ask questions! Post your questions and comments on the blog for everyone's benefit. Each yBR is loaded with our squad for guidance, information and to ensure you and your squad have the best experience.
  6. Come with friends & co-workers. yogaBliss ReMix is about Bliss (its says it right in the title). We are most blissful when we experience things with people we enjoy! Plus, you can be the cool one who introduces your peeps to yBR :)
  7. Smile and be prepared for some musically charged movement :)

    Group Cleanse Sept 13 - 19 : Miami Beach

    Summer fun is coming to an end and as we look forward to the change in weather, our bodies and minds are looking forward to falling back into balance.

    Join Blissberry as we host our Group Fall Cleanse Program at
    SoBe Pilates located at 950 Arthur Godfrey Road, Miami Beach, FL 33140.
    click to enlarge


    Group Program Dates 
    • 3 Day Cleanse: Monday, Sept 13 – Thursday, Sept 16
    • 6 Day Cleanse: Monday, Sept 13 – Sunday, Sept 19
    • Monday, Sept 13 is the overview of the program;
      Detox begins on Tuesday, Sept 14

    Q: How do I determine the length of my Cleanse?
    A: If this is your first time cleansing, detoxing or fasting, start with committing to the 3 Day Cleanse. If you feel as though you can continue cleansing during the program, let the Group Leader know and you will continue receiving a daily package until you want to commence. Same goes if you haven’t cleansed within the past 12 months. If you are a regular cleanser/faster, then go for the 6 Day Cleanse!

    Q: Can I eat anything or take vitamins while on this program?
    A: The items you receive in your daily cleanse package will be the only things you consume during your program. The only outside consumption can be filtered, distilled and coconut water. If you have a specific medical condition, which requires a food and/or vitamin regimen, you must disclose this information with your Group Leader during your screening. Your daily package should be perfect for the duration of your cleanse. Even though it’s a calorically restrictive regimen, you are eliminating the energy required for digestion. The Day 1 Session on September 13th will review the approved snacks if it is necessary to consume extra.

    Q: How much weight can I expect to lose while on this program?
    A: Please note, this is a nutritional cleanse designed to give your digestive system a rest and allow your body to eliminate toxins and undigested food in your system. If you lose weight while cleansing, then that’s a bonus. If you have weight to lose, you will lose it. If you don’t, you won’t on this program.  However, if weight control is your goal, this cleanse will put you on a path towards healthier habits. Many people report being able to focus more on what it is they are putting into their body after a cleanse. Make this your goal in preparing for your cleanse, and ask yourself, “What am I going to do when this cleanse is over?” It’s an opportunity to “reset.”

    Once you book your spot in this program, you will review your goals with your Group Leader from Blissberry, to ensure you receive the optimal items in your program and that your personal schedule will work with this program.  Please review the Pre-Cleanse Strategy which will be sent to you once your spot is booked. This will set you up for a successful and comfortable cleanse.

    The complete instructions for this program will be given to you and reviewed on Monday, September 13th.  The Cleansing begins on Tuesday, September 14th for both 3 and 6 Day Cleansers.

    To book your spot or for inquiries, please contact 305.538.5130, detox@blissberry.us, or stop into Blissberry located at 1650 Alton Rd (next to Epicure) from 11a – 5p, Monday – Friday to speak with Tiffany Houser.

    We look forward to bringing you back to balance!

    Pre Cleanse / Detox Strategy

    Congratulations on your commitment! A detox program can be extremely inspiring to yourself and the people around you. To enhance the experience, it’s important that you prepare yourself a few days prior to the program. 

    1. Do not binge before your program: The common thinking when you’re about to detox or fast for the first-time is, “I must (or can) eat as much as possible for a few day since I’m not eating next week”

    Unfortunately, the body doesn’t work that way. If you binge and become full today, you will feel hungry tomorrow and next week. The point of a detox is to clean and rest your body. Over-eating right before the program could lead to only pushing out that specific food and can drain your energy quickly. As you get closer to your first day of this program, take the time to be careful of what you eat. Two to Seven (2-7) days before your start date should be your last day of consuming alcohol, tobacco, processed/refined foods and caffeine, to ensure the best results and highest level of comfort during the detox program.

    2. Simplify your foods before your cleanse : This detox program is going to limit the amount of consumption you’re normally accustomed to during this period. For this reason, the best way to get ready for your detox is to simplify your food intake and lower the amount per serving starting 3-7 days before your start date. Limit the number of ingredients you use in a meal. Limit the amount you of food you make. Limit the amount you eat. Get ready to detox! If you want to do the calorie controlled meals delivered to your home by The Fresh Diet, Blissberry will set up the service for you at a discounted rate. This meal plan eliminates the calorie guess work and adds convenience by delivering the fresh meals right to your home.

    Another tip is to take a look in your refrigerator and cabinets to begin getting rid of tempting foods and beverages. You do not need to necessarily discard them, but remove them from your home until we have completed the detox program so they do not distract you. Also please make arrangements for your family members’ meals during this program. Preparing food for children and/or significant others during the detox can be very distracting.

    Avoid eating late at night (in general). It simply doesn’t aid digestion and increases body discomfort throughout the night. The majority of time, people mistake fatigue for hunger and instead of getting rest by going to sleep, they take out the snacks and start nibbling. Instead, drink lots of water and get some rest. You’ll wake up feeling more refreshed.

    3. Hydrate: Our bodies must constantly stay hydrated during the detox. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink water. Three (3) days before your start date, aim to drink a glass of water every 1-2 hours you are awake. The fact is, even though there is a maximum amount of water one can consume daily, we make an exception as we prepare our bodies for this program. Drinking water also makes you feel full and can help decrease your appetite and cravings. Coconut Water is very hydrating as well.

    4. Slow Down : Since you’ve made the commitment to participate in this detox program, make the full commitment! Try to organize your schedule so you are not out and about and are somewhat close to home- ideally in a relaxed setting during the 3 detox days. It is impossible to create a utopia, but try to get as close as you can to increase the results and your comfort level during this program.

    This also means no physical activity except for the 2 Detox Yoga sessions if you opted to include them in this program. Your energy levels will be low during this program and you do not want to use what small amount of energy you have to exercise or run errands.

    5. Observe your body : This program is all about observation and noting how your body reacts to the progress you make as you work your way through. There’s no specific guideline as to how your body will react to this program. The only guide is your commitment to the program, regardless of whether you’re cleansing for the first time or detox regularly. Headaches, fatigue, and lack of concentration are normal signs of detox.

    6. Enlist the support of your friends and family, make sure they know why and when you are cleasning to avoid any distractions.
