Yamuna

Today was a rainy day with flood warnings and we were told to not leave our homes if possible. I took the day to go back into my focus on bone. I decided to focus on the thoracic vertebrae, sternum and ribs. Hours later I realized just how dramatic bone ages. It took a very long time to even remotely pe*****te my thoracic vertebrae. Since the quality of the spine is key to longevity I focused intensely on each vertebra. I found without focusing the breath fully when the ball was at each vertebra, I could not feel bone quality improve. I could not feel healthy space and movement occurring as I slowly worked up the center and each side.

Once I stood up I could feel I was taller and standing up straighter and I could hear more movement in my spine as I moved my head and neck but I still could not breathe and feel space between each vertebra.

This to me shows just how important the bone specific work is and the importance of starting it when the bone quality of the spine is younger and more penetrable and all the muscles supporting the spine are not gripped to the vertebrae.

Though everybody loves the various variations of working up the spine in Yamuna Body Rolling this does not help to maintain healthy bone quality and supporting muscles of the spine to maintain their flexibility. It does feel great and the spine as a whole unwinds and lengthens up but the necessary detail to bone is not in the basic work. You can still roll up the spine and love the feeling and the immediate affect.

You don’t have to do the detailed work all the time but every now and then if you are younger. This is to prevent any vertebrae from getting stuck to each other and going into compression. Us older folks need to spend time doing the detailed work until we feel the energy active and alive in each vertebra.

This is the third position in this series. Please follow the order. It is very important to warm up the area before going deeper into this move.

This focuses on going deep to the bone from the pelvis to just above the knee. It gets impact out of the femur, lengthens it and begins to free the hip.

This is a super easy move which helps to lift the posterior pelvis and separate it from the hamstring origins.

Do you know that as we age and our buttocks drop that fascia can come it and attach lower gluteus muscle fibers to hamstrings. So lifting up and rolling down to hamstrings is super important and easy to do.
AND this is the beginning of a 4 part series.

Using a Yamuna Black Ball and the wall you can go deep into the shoulder joint from various positions impacting the bones of the shoulder joint to then allow them to release out.

People keep writing to me with all sorts of structural problems asking for help. I truly love helping people but when I ask if they have any of the Yamuna balls and they say no, it’s very hard for me to give them step by step ways to focus on helping themselves.

I always say that everyone needs to have a set of Yamuna products at home and at least to travel with a set of black balls!

The Yamuna work is so simple to use for problem solving in the body. And if you reach out and have them then it can be so easy for me to offer help.

With the Yamuna work we try to uncomplicate the body so you don’t have to be overwhelmed thinking you can’t help yourself. We also have practitioners in many places who are there to help you.

Yesterday a middle age man came into Lighthouse Ibiza. He was wondering what we had to offer. I invited him to come in and saw he was limping. I asked him what was the problem. It was an old injury where his hip was dislocated. 20 years later he has pain and restrictions. He told me he was going to physical therapy for 3 months and it really wasn’t helping. The therapist was only working on building muscle. I was listening to him and asked if he had told the therapist it wasn’t helping and in fact it is worse. He shook his head no.

I asked if he had time now. He said, “yes.” I took him into the EES studio and brought a couple Yamuna balls with me. We did each leg, hamstrings, lateral thighs, quadriceps and adductors. We did just 20 minutes. He stood up straighter and was walking better.

He asked when he could start. We set an appointment and he was so happy to learn he could greatly improve his hip. He was very surprised how quickly change could happen. I told him when he sees this therapist he needs to tell him it’s not working and he needs mobility work. Maybe the guy can switch his focus from strength training to increasing range of motion. He just looked at me and said nothing. I told him that it’s his body and he has the right to explain what he needs.

This is what is so amazing about Yamuna Body Rolling. It works quickly in many cases and you learn how to do this for yourself.

So many problems arise inside the mouth that usually can be avoided by resetting the cranial bones to any work or patterns inside the mouth. We were so lucky to have a dentist attending this class. I have often hoped to have this work used in the dental offices. This is a profound experience for everyone to go through. It can be emotional, and deeply strong connecting you to problems in other parts of your body that get awakened from the cranial and intraoral work. # dentalproblems

Recently a Yamuna practitioner was teaching a class and when she began teaching the basic abdominal work a woman got up from the class and went to the bathroom. She had strong pain and wound up going to the hospital. It turns out she has an intestinal blockage which needs to be corrected surgically. When I found out the latest information I congratulated the teacher for helping this issue to surface so it wouldn’t wind up causing more problems later.

We have seen these kinds of issues surfacing during classes where at first the teacher is frightened and later it turns out a life might have been saved.

What people don’t get about the power of the Yamuna work is that we teach you how to pe*****te deeply into your own body. Your body gives you feedback immediately. If everywhere in your body hurts when you work with the Yamuna balls this is your body saying that whatever you are doing you might have to rethink it.

Normally your body gives you feedback where you already know you have issues. This is good because as you do the work and the pain reduces to mild sensitivity and finally to just a good sensation, your body is telling you it is better and thankful you have paid attention to it.

The Yamuna work takes you deeply into your body and as your body is being heard it will share more and more of its wisdom with you.

As I explore the cranium preparing for this weekend I am in awe of how the cranium holds so many answers , reflexes and connections throughout the body. The more I dive in and work through the layers, the more connections I feel in so many parts of my body.

The breath as always is the connector. Ask yourself if you can feel your breath throughout your entire skull on the inside and outside. Can you feel the differences breathing through one side of the skull from the other side. Can you feel your cranial bones expanding out on each inhalation and resting on the exhalation.?

What can you really feel in your skull when you tune in? What are your personal details?
