Yamuna© Body Rolling & Yamuna© Foot Fitness Classes – by Marianna Moll of Belfast Yoga

MRC is proud to offer Yamuna classes as part of our in house fitness programs.

Yamuna® Body Rolling is revolutionary in approach to health and fitness using balls designed exclusively for this practice. It consists of a series of routines using 6-10 inch balls. Unlike other ball exercises, YBR goes far beyond random movement and stretch. It allows you to work specific muscles in detail, creating suppleness in tight areas and optimizing your range of motion.

Yamuna® Body Rolling re-educates muscles and stimulates bone, creating positive, permanent changes in your body.

Yamuna® Foot Fitness was developed to increase flexibility and movement, improve muscle tone, and increase circulation and to “get your shoes out of your feet.” Many people have found immediate relief after just one Yamuna Foot Fitness session and never look back. These easy to learn and easy to do routines can be done anywhere and take only 15-20 minutes to practice. Consistent practice not only improves overall foot function, but it creates balance in the entire body - relieving back and neck pain, strengthening the legs, and improving posture.

Yamuna® Foot Fitness is a must for runners, athletes, dancers, Yoga students, and anyone who wants to build a strong foundation, prevent breakdown, improve performance and avoid repetitive stress injuries to feet, ankles, knees and hips. YFF is suitable for all ages!
