Loved this post, Jenny! I’m very much intrigued to check out one of her classes. Woo-hoo Chicago! Lincoln Square is like 20 minutes away from my house. How exciting! Haha. Mmm..Parmesan Portabella.

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

In case anyone is interested, you can run the Shamrock Shuffle for a cause with the Red Cross Team Run Red! The Red Cross helps disaster victims avoid hunger and homelessness and also brings CPR and other preparedness classes to more than 250,000 people each year in our area. Good luck to all those who are running!
