 The 9" Silver (previously red) Yamuna Body Rolling Ball is slightly harder and denser than the Yellow Yamuna Ball, which makes it better for specific muscle release. What is Body Rolling? "Yamuna Body Rolling is a therapeutic self-care practice for body therapy practitioners and an educational tool used by body therapists to empower clients to develop a deeper and more subtle relationship with their own bodies.
Yamuna Body Rolling improves any type of body-oriented practice, from massage and physical therapy to bodywork, yoga teaching, fitness training, and somatic therapies such as Feldenkrais and Alexander Technique. Developed through seventeen years of bodywork practice, Body Rolling is an experiential approach to learning the language of anatomy. Yamuna Body Rolling will help you maintain the health of your own neuromuscular and skeletal systems. It helps you learn to listen to the useful information the body communicates to you, making it possible to develop greater control over your internal state and increase your ability to use your body more freely and intelligently, whether in your body therapy practice, for exercise or just in daily life." Yamuna balls are manufactured without the use of harmful phthalates. Good for you and good for the environment! **Since the Yamuna Red (now silver) Ball comes deflated, we recommend that you get a Yamuna Pump with the ball. That way you can easily travel anywhere, deflate the ball on your way, and pump it up whenever you want. John travels with this ball and the Green Ball. He's been seen at the airport either rolling on the Red (now Silver) Yamuna Ball in the corner, or leaning on the Green Ball in his seat on the plane. "After only a few Yamuna Body Rolling workouts I began to notice improved range of motion in my shoulder and decreased discomfort in my thoracic spine. I continued with YBR and had some significant increase in my shoulder range of motion and decrease in shoulder pain. Perhaps more notable was the fact that my posture corrected in my spine – in spite of the permanent damage associated with the spinal fracture." - Margaret D., Chiropractor, Washington DC "This is a great solution for people who have to be extra careful during their workouts. I highly recommend this regimen because I believe in 'Safety First.'" -George Foreman "I don't know how it works but it works! After three sessions, I threw away my knee brace - and I'm not planning the knee replacement surgery I thought I needed." -Steve Shapiro, Contractor |
