What is Yamuna Body Rolling ?
Yamuna® Body Rolling (YBR) is a self care method and therapeutic technique, which combines health, well-being and injury prevention.
It is a self-massage where the ball becomes the hands of the therapist and the person’s weight creates the traction, movement and release on the ball; thus to organize the body bringing all the parts back to working the way they should and can be!
It grew out of Yamuna® Body Logic, developed by Yamuna Zake (N.Y) over twenty years ago. In Body Logic, Yamuna exerted traction on a muscle by using one elbow to apply pressure at the point where a muscle began and the other hand to pull the muscle in its natural direction, toward its insertion. The result was greater length in the muscle, decompressing bones, joints and nerves.

Yamuna® Table Treatment
Passive training on the table for the alignment of bones and muscles throughout the body and effortlessly increase the client’s freedom of movement.
The sequence of the session follows the natural order of the body. All the basic principles of all of the Yamuna® work are applied.
The work starts with direct bone stimulation, and then moves out from where the tendon attaches to the bone and then down into the body of the muscle towards its insertion. The ball is used as traction to achieve greater length, tone and freedom of movement.

The constant goal of the therapist is to correct alignment of bones and muscles throughout the body and effortlessly increase the client’s freedom of movement.
People get off the table and know they have had a session. The legs feel free, the hips are super loose, and the torso and head are floating upward!
This passive training is performed on a massage table using the ball in one side of the body while the practitioner works in the other side, moluding it and spreading it around the ball. In this way you work both sides of the body simultaneously

The Yamuna Save Your Face approach to improving the skin, bone and muscle quality of the face applies the Yamuna theories of direct bone stimulation, alignment of bone, and muscle specific work to the face.
Repetitive stress patterns leave their mark, every time you frown, squint, chew, grind, clench or suck in your cheeks you likely repeat these habits over and over.

Long hours spent looking at screens, we all have something we are doing that is tightening the muscles in our face and subsequently causing the retraction of the bones that form our skull.
What we do in our daily lives, to how we sleep at night affect tension patterns in the face, neck and skull that can filter through to have a profound affect on other parts of our body. This can lead to TMJ pain, tight jaws, tension headaches, chronic sinus problems, eye strain, hearing loss/tinitus, premature lines and loss of skin elasticity. Yamuna Faceball method teaches you how to intelligently and effectively roll your face, halting the accumulating build up of tension in the head, neck, eyes, nose, mouth, jaw and ears.
You will feel your facial muscles relax, the bones become more symmetrical, lift, tone and definition returned to the structure of the face and skin texture with increased blood flow.
Yamuna Faceball opens up those pathways blocked that have been causing conjestion and possible pain, total facial rejuvenation in your hands.
You can learn how to do Yamuna Faceball in Workshop with me, run regularly through the year, where you are are taught the methods to roll yourself and at home.
Or you can get in touch for a Private facial treatment where I add the therapist's touch and can address general or specific concerns more in depth with my own hands behind the ball.

Yamuna Foot Fitness helps prevent or alleviate common foot problems such as: Plantar Fasciitis, Bunions, Hammer Toes, Morton’s Neuromas, Flat Feet & Fallen Arches.During the course, we are going to train our feet with the props that Yamuna herself has designed:
Yamuna® Foot Wakers: developed to increase flexibility, bring back movement and separation of the bones of the foot, improve muscle tone, and increase circulation and to “get your shoes out of your feet.” They wake the feet up and get them moving the way they should.
Yamuna® Foot Savers: to stimulate bone, remove the effects of continual impact on the bones of the foot, and stimulate the reflexology points of the feet (which also stimulates organ function). Foot Savers work more specifically within the different areas of the foot than Foot Wakers to align bone.
Years of wearing tight shoes cause the bones to squeeze together. Yamuna® Foot Savers help you straighten each bone out and return it to its natural position.
