Thank you for the comments! It’s great to hear from folks who’ve done it multiple times. It’s definitely a technique worth trying and I can imagine how it would help your balance and center. Especially your feet! What other techniques have you guys tried?

I have taken Yamuna Body Rolling. For active people, it is a great supplementary system that can help keep overused muscles from holding too much tension. It won’t entirely replace a good massage, but it can get you more comfort in the meantime.
Ballet is my preferred fitness activity, so I loved the work on the feet. My balances were always better when we used the “wakers.”

It looks fairly inactive, but as someone who does Yamuna regularly I can testify that you truly work up a sweat! It’s great core work. And by freeing your skeleton from all those kinked muscles (including those you did not know existed) you move better, feel better. Try it!

I followed the tutorial, and as I did the exercises, I could feel my body lengthen. Being a college student with the burden of exams and papers, body rolling helps me relieve stress and maintain proper posture in all of my classes. After starting body rolling, I have been able to pay more attention to what the professors say, and I feel more relaxed when confronting my assignments. In addition, I find the body rolling technique to relieve congestion and achy muscles because it keeps my body stimulated.

Looks like a great conditioning activity between workouts.
Definitely not as zippy as Zumba!
Thanks,
Mary
