Eric ten Pas + Tyler Butler: Ice Gurus + Pittsburgh Tub Club Visionary leaders in the Pittsburgh wellness community, Tub Club founders Eric and Tyler join us for early morning ice plunges to awaken your senses and help give you the foundational support of a regulated nervous system to begin your journey with. Tyler and Eric support you in stepping into your full power as you conquer the ice and embrace all that lies ahead Eric specializes in cultivating community. He is the foundation of TubClub, ensuring operations are running smoothly. While building quick connections with participants to make them feel at home, Eric creates a safe place for people to challenge their own fear responses. As a facilitator, he helps individuals find their breath and gain confidence in their personal strength through the cold exposure experience. Tyler is a health coach specializing in embodiment practices - mindful self-regulation, nervous system awareness, interoception , proprioception, balance, and stress resilience. He has an MS in Health Education. During an ice bath experience, Tyler works with participants to co-regulate and to feel their inner power. He has equipped thousands of people with tools to improve their quality of life. What is Tub Club? TubClub is an accessible weekly event designed to give participants a chance to embrace their inner power and share in community with others interested in self-empowerment. Far more than learning theory, participants learn via direct experience by exposing themselves to the potent sensations of ice water. They rely on their breath to transition themselves from a fight/flight reaction to a calmer state of deep presence. Coaches guide breathwork before the ice water immersions and are on hand to help participants work through the challenge. Jesse Tree: Co-facilitator + Light Worker With a lifelong connection to the stars and a fascination with crystal knowledge, Jesse's deep understanding of esoterics brings light to the world around him. Honing his interest into his adulthood, he studied astronomy while completing his B.S. in Biology. He has continued his education in both astronomy and astrology, studying the art of natal chart reading and currently is studying medical astrology, which further investigates the medical correlations which can be drawn from one's birth readings. He has maintained a continuing education regarding crystals, their metaphysical properties, and how to best utilize their energies in harmony with your own. Now learning to use sound and frequency as potent additives to his own healing practices, Jesse uses his divine gifts in caring for his community with compassionate wisdom and grace.
