Yamuna Body Rolling: May 10, 2014

YBR FaceYamuna Body Rolling: Save Face!

Saturday, May 10, 9:30 – 11:00am

$80 Registration Fee includes 90-min instruction &
Take Home Kit including 2 Face Balls & DVD

Pre-Registration Required; Class Limited to 5 students

We are told that the sun and other environmental factors are the primary causes of skin damage. Yamuna believes that just like every other part of our bodies, the face is subject to tremendous repetitive stress from very early on. We begin to frown, squint our eyes, clench our jaws, grind our teeth, tighten our lips and on and on. Each of us has tension patterns that we are no longer aware of that we do constantly, everyday all day. These patterns cause early bone loss, form wrinkles, cause sinus and tension headaches and TMJ. Repetitive stress and tension over the years causes problems with our sinuses, headaches, TMJ, wrinkles and a myriad of other challenges for our irreplaceable faces! In this workshop, you will learn to stimulate bones, muscle and skin, thereby keeping your face more relaxed AND beautiful!

Learning how to work on your own face with specially designed balls will give you a way to prevent aging and when you feel the difference in your face when it is relaxed versus your normal, you will want to incorporate this work into your self-care program.

Yamuna Body Rolling: Private Table SessionsYBR Table Treatment

Saturday, May 10, 11:30am – 1:00pm
Saturday May 10, 1:30pm – 3:00pm

Pre-Registration Required, Only 2 appointments available

Table YBR is a nice addition to those wanting to go a little deeper
with Body Rolling. And because not all bodies respond to one single
type of treatment you may find this body work enhances your other body
work.

We start with direct bone stimulation and then work out from where the
tendon attaches to the bone down into the body of the muscle towards
its’ insertion. The ball is used to work each part in traction to
achieve greater length, tone and freedom of movement. As the therapist
works, correcting alignment of bones and muscles throughout the body
is the constant goal. In this treatment a therapist is continually
observing the alignment and correcting it with the one goal; freedom
of movement effortlessly in the client.

Back Pain is the number one complaint for people seeking bodywork and exercise assistance. This class is designed to release the “stuck” feeling we all get from sitting too long at a computer, too long in our cars, too long on the phone, standing too long on our feet, or any other of those activities we do that over-work our stabilizing back muscles! We’ll work on the lower, middle and upper back and you’ll feel like you’ve had a chiropractic adjustment and a massage plus worked your abdominal muscles.

THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY HIP REPLACEMENTS IN OUR CULTURE

Instructor: Kandy Duke, Certified Yamuna Body Rolling Practitioner, Personal Trainer, Yoga and Pilates Mat Teacher
$30 Registration; Pre-registration Required – Class Space Limited

Saturday, March 22, 1:30 – 3:00 pm

If you are super physical and are constantly challenging your body you need to add all the Save Your Hips work to your weekly workouts.  If you are sedentary and working hours at a computer, you need to keep your hips from getting stuck and rusty in a sitting position.All of us need to keep our hip joints aligned, greased and oiled all though life for maintaining our circulation and muscular – skeletal integrity from our hip to our feet and from our hips to our head. When your thighbones are restricting your movements, it is usually because they are stuck in some position in the hip joint. This class will explore all the possible movements and connections of how to work the hip joint to the thighbone. We will work the hamstrings, quadriceps, adductors, IT band and deep lateral rotators.

Balls will be provided for the workshop, but you may also purchase them after class for continued home use.
