Class Description:

YAMUNA BODY ROLLING Created by Yamuna Zake, physical therapist and former yoga instructor, Yamuna Body Rolling is a revolutionary approach for health, fitness and dance that works the way a hands-on practitioner works -only using an inflatable 6 to 10-inch 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, following specific sequences that match the body's own logic and order to stretch, tone and re-educate muscles and restore space in the body where intensive dance training or even just repetitive stress from modern lifestyle may cause pain and restriction. It allows you to work specific muscles in detail, to create suppleness in tight areas, optimize range of motion and prevent many injuries.

Perfectly designed for our dancers to be able to enjoy their training fully, this class will also bring all parents and chaperones great improvement in their physical well-being and create positive, permanent change in their body. 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. It's a workout, a massage, and a chiropractic session all rolled into one!
