Yamuna
Body Rolling is a revolutionary approach to health and fitness
using balls designed exclusively for this practice. It consists
of a series of routines using 6 to 10-inch balls. Unlike other
ball exercises, YBR goes far beyond random movement and stretch.
It allows you to work specific muscles in detail, to create
suppleness in tight areas and optimize range of motion. Yamuna
Body Rolling* reeducates muscles and stimulates bone, creating
positive, permanent changes in the body.
HOW
DOES IT WORK?
Yamuna Body Rolling works the way a hands-on practitioner
works -only using a ball. The ball replaces hands as it moves
on muscles to stretch them, dislodge tension and discomfort,
increase blood flow, and promote healing. Lying over the ball,
you literally roll your body out almost like dough, stretching
and elongating your muscles. The YBR routines follow specific
sequences that match the body's own logic and order. Starting
where each muscle begins, at its origin, you roll toward where
it attaches to the point called its insertion.
The Yamuna Body Rolling practice has earned respect from chiropractors,
physical therapists, Yoga instructors, Pilates and Gyrotonic
instructors, massage therapists, bodyworkers, fitness instructors
and dance teachers.
"The beauty of Yamuna Body Rolling is that it takes you
from the origin of the muscle at the tendon, elongating the
muscle while stimulating the bone and soft tissue. Working
with the body's own gravity, the exercises ease movement in
the muscles to the point of relaxation, offering one of the
finest weight-bearing exercises, with the benefits of a deep
self-massage."
It is perfect for prevention: prevention of headaches, lower
back problems, back, neck, and shoulder tension and problems
stemming from the repetitive stress syndromes that pervade
our daily lives. Almost every structural problem can be greatly
improved with Yamuna. The routines are easy to follow and
can be adapted to people of all ages and physical capabilities.
With Yamuna Body Rolling, the knots and twists that create
everyday tension and tightness literally roll away.
