Bodyrolling | Releasing the Neck, Shoulders & Breath

Bodyrolling is a powerful and profound self-fixing and maintaining tool that everyone can do regardless of age or physical limitations.
About this Event

If you're always at a screen, tension has a favourite place to gather. This workshop frees it, and the breath held alongside it.
Bodyrolling is a complimentary health system invented by the extraordinary visionary Yamuna Zake – a master teacher and healer who has dedicated her life to helping others to create positive change in their bodies. The system works perfectly alongside yoga and other physical activities. It empowers us to maintain our own body structures, thus healing and preventing pain, illness and injury. The system teaches us to reorganise and improve our own anatomy, freeing restrictions in all parts of the body. It is a powerful and profound self-fixing and maintaining tool that everyone can do regardless of age or physical limitations.
Long hours at a laptop and phone pull the head forward, tighten the shoulders and shorten the breath. Using props created by Yamuna, you are led through exercises to release the whole upper body:
- releasing the neck and easing tight shoulders
- freeing the upper back and between the shoulder blades
- opening the chest and expanding the lungs
- deepening and freeing the breath
- restoring length through the spine
- relaxing the nervous system

Fundamentally, the system enables us to:
- maintain our bodies, preventing injuries
- keep the body moving freely and without restriction at every age
- improve circulation and organ function
- keep the nerve roots of the spine activated and metabolically strong
- keep the bones healthy and young to maintain the general health and well-being of the body

This whole body introductory workshop will help to reorganise the body, bringing all the parts back to function the way they should. Using props created by Yamuna, you will be lead through routines taking you through the entire body:
- toning and elongating muscles
- releasing the spine
- improving alignment
- expanding the lungs and deepening the breath
- developing core strength
- relaxing the nervous system
- increasing blood flow and circulation
- stimulating nerve roots and organs
- increasing metabolism
- promoting healing

YBR is based on these fundamental principles:
- wherever there is pain, contraction, tightness, inflammation, atrophy or nerve pain, this is in general caused by lack of space
- the body has a natural logic and muscles release from origin to insertion -YBR re-educates each muscle to release into its optimal space
- YBR involves stimulation of the bone. Gentle pressure to bone will initiate release of tendons, which will rapidly create positive structural changes
- exerting traction on a muscle informs the muscle to release from origin to insertion point
YBR reorganises the structure of the body so that it can function optimally
The effects are instant and you will experience changes in your body after just one session. Similar but better than any deep massage, Bodyrolling is the ideal compliment to a yoga and Pilates practice, enabling you to deepen your practice, open up restricted areas, create space and develop an intuitive understanding of your own anatomy.
Suitable for all levels and all ages.
