Yamuna® Body Rolling
Yamuna® Body Rolling consists of a series of specific routines that uses specially designed balls to combine the release of massage with the strengthening and toning of exercise. The ball applies gentle traction that frees connective tissue, re-educates muscles to fully release, and de-codes habitual holding patterns.
YBR empowers you to tone, strengthen and realign your own body. It is a fitness, educational and therapy practice that combines healing, self awareness and injury prevention in a simple workout. You will feel more space and balance in your body and a sense of effortless alignment.
Yamuna® Body Rolling gives you the ability to “work on yourself ” anytime, anywhere, forever. Learn the routines that will help alleviate your chronic muscle tension or pain. Experience the different balls and how to use them to your benefit and preference.
YBR is a natural complement to Pilates, Yoga and other somatic practices. Their goals are the same – to free the body of restrictions, eliminate stress and tension; creating a calm and balanced you. Yamuna® Body Rolling is complimentary to all forms of exercise including gardening, walking, running, dancing, cycling, skiing and being a mother. Variations and options for those with limited mobility, injury, pregnancy and postpartum.
Key concepts:
• Direct bone stimulation – which improves the quality of bone and rids the bone of excessive impact.
• Quality and alignment of bone which determines the quality of muscle.
• Muscles that need to be worked from origin toward insertion.
• The use of mild traction allows muscles and fascia to elongate and unwind.
• Alignment of the bones first, and then the work of the muscles to improve bone alignment
All of the YAMUNA® work promotes BODY SUSTAINABILITY. Choosing to help people make healthy body choices to prevent injury and common break down so they maintain healthy and freely moving bodies at every age is at the core of all of the YAMUNA® education.

The Balls: Which one to choose?
If you are starting with only one ball, the Gold ball is the beginner ball and you are able to use it all over the body (except the zones that you do not roll directly on: tail bone, floating ribs & xiphoid process where the base of the sternum is). Also the best ball for aging bodies and post injury.
Pearl ball is also great for smaller people, for travel, and for use at the office.
Black balls are ideal for more detailed work of the hips, shoulders and lower legs. I never travel without one.
Silver ball is a denser material and thus penetrates deeper into the tissues. Ideal for large leg muscles and back after gaining some basic experience in rolling.
Eventually having a set of all the balls allows you to pick and choose what your specific intention and needs are and to use the balls that best suit the routine and area you are focusing on.

Why I love Yamuna® Body Rolling
After my first class I was a convert. I could sense and drastically see the changes immediately in myself. I wished I had had this in my tool bag years earlier, I know I would have spared myself several injuries.
It keeps my body from falling apart, especially when I can only fit in the essential routines into my schedule. When I have time for more, it allows me to move through minor injuries and even discover things that were long forgotten about. I love the feeling of being longer and lighter and the spaciousness. I deeply appreciate the sense of truly “being” in myself and feeling my true centre after a good roll. I am a more grounded person after I roll myself out. I enjoy continually having new sensations when I work with a different ball in a certain area of the body. I love that I can work on my entire body and keep myself on track, functional, able to release tension and pain. I still enjoy massage therapy occasionally, but the need for it is much less now that I can maintain my body with the balls.
I love that I can travel with my balls and roll even in transit! I love seeing people experience the release in their own body after their first roll. It is an immediate release and people can see and feel it in themselves. And then they can take it home with them and work on themselves anytime.
