Yamuna Body Rolling is a technique that uses balls to access the body's connective tissue. It feels like a massage, a chiropractic session and a Rolfing session - all rolled into a fun workout! Yamuna Body Rolling reeducates muscles and stimulates bone growth, creating positive, permanent changes in the body. It allows you to work specific muscles in detail from, head to toe, to create suppleness in tight areas and optimize range of motion. The bone stimulation results in increased bone density and assists in preventing osteoporosis.

To learn the YBR techniques, you can schedule private sessions anytime, or check out one of our workshops. For more information, contact Martine at Studio Evolve.

Yamuna Body Rolling is similar to a hands-on practitioner, yet 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 like dough, stretching and elongating the muscles in your whole body, from head to toe.

Once you learn the technique, you may purchase a set of balls and continue your practice at home. We recommend you come to Studio Evolve for refresher sessions whenever you choose. You may also choose to combine Pilates and Yamuna Body Rolling sessions.

"Since I’ve started body rolling, I have less pain, my muscles recover more quickly from intense workouts and I haven’t been to the chiropractor in months. It is such an important part of my routine that I travel with my body rolling set!" — Shana

What can Yamuna Body Rolling do for me?
YBR helps break negative postural patterns, helps keep your skeletal structure well aligned, increases bone density and prevents you from developing restrictions as you age.

Yamuna Body Rolling increases blood circulation to muscles, frees up muscle restrictions, increases range of motion and flexibility, improves posture and develops musculoskeletal strength and integrity; all resulting in increasing and maintaining muscle tone.

Will Yamuna Body Rolling help me lose weight?
Perhaps. The back routine stimulates all the nerve roots along the spine. In turn, these nerve roots stimulate the function of most of our vital organs. The abdominal routines stimulate the organs and glands directly. Both of these forms of stimulation increase circulation (which boosts metabolism) and encourage lymphatic drainage (which reduces fluid buildup). Putting direct pressure into the digestive organs also helps them function better, so your elimination and digestion improve. All these factors help you lose weight. However, the primary goals of YBR do not include weight loss.

How many times a week should I do Yamuna Body Rolling in order to obtain results?
You can safely do YBR daily. It can be incorporated into any workout program, as either a warm-up or cool-down exercise.

If I only have fifteen minutes, which routine is the best to do?
If you always only have fifteen minutes, vary what area you work. Do the spine the first time, hamstrings and glutes the next and then roll your quads and abdomen. This way, over several days, you work your way through your whole body, maintaining balance through your system.
