Yamuna™ What?

---

Yamuna™  Body Rolling was developed by Yamuna Zake as part of the various modalilites created by her including Table Treatment, Anatomy U and  Body Logic. All of the work is based upon a system where the Practitioner anchors a muscle at its origin and stretches the muscle in the direction of the natural movement towards the insertion of the muscle. Once the muscles reach their full length, joints decompress, and thus muscles and nerves can restore their full function. In general, whenever there is pain, contraction, tightness, inflammation, atrophy, or nerve pain, there will be lack of space.

The goal of Yamuna™ Body Rolling is to create space. This space is created as the bones are aligned and thus muscles are educated, released, and lenghtened. Yamuna™ Body Rolling is not the random rolling of a ball, it is systematic work from the bone, into the tendon, and then finally into the muscle. The pressure of the body on the ball will increase the circulation to the tendon and bone which will begin to soften and initiate the release of the muscle. We focus on anatomy and the body's logical order and magically the body is able to reorganize its structure resulting in better function and a feeling of air in the joints.

Every Italian made ball is rated to hold 350 pounds but have different densities and give different sensations. The Gold ball is the biggest ball and the gentlest; it is a great choice for everyone. The Pearl ball is the same density as the Gold ball, but it is smaller and easier for people who are small framed. The Black balls are the smallest balls and are used for detailed work. The Silver ball is very dense; it is a nice to have ball but certainly not necessary. The foot wakers are a half domed and dense surface with nodules that literally wake up the feet.  All Yamuna™ product is of the highest quality and lasts a lifetime.
