Yamuna Body Rolling: Save Your Feet!


YBR Feet and extra classes flyer for June 2015-page-001

Warm weather is finally here which means people get crazy trying to get in shape for the beach. If you are about to start doing more extreme fitness, start with getting your feet in shape. Improve their alignment and function. Once you have your foundation solid the rest of the body is easier to align so you can avoid any injuries. Get in shape smart, rather than just jumping in without a plan that supports our body in getting the results you want and avoiding injuries.

“As we all start shedding our heavier closed shoes for lighter shoes, sandals and flip flops we are giving our feet freedom. But freedom without education often translates into collapsed arches, swollen ankles, puffy, pasty, and weak feet. Did you know that you can actually build stronger and improved feet while wearing flip flops?” -Yamuna Zake

In this workshop you’ll learn how to improve the muscles of your legs from working your feet, techniques to help with common foot ailments, and how to walk, especially in flip flops.

Full Moon Yin Yoga with Karen Lucas

Set the tone for the upcoming holiday months… for a stress-free and relaxed you!

Join Karen and celebrate the full moon with a Yin Yoga. In Yin-style yoga the poses are held for around 3 minutes and have a quality of stillness. This works deeply into the hips, pelvis, spine and shoulders to unlock tensions. After you have experienced Yin Yoga even just once, you will realize its profound benefits.

This is a community class – donations are welcome.  Give what you can! RSVP

Plantar Fasciitis

Yamuna Body Rolling: Save Your Hips!FC-110122- 003

with Kandy Duke

Saturday 10/11/2014, 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm

If you are super physical and are constantly challenging your body you need to add all the Save Your Hips work to your weekly workouts. If you are sedentary and working hours at a computer, you need to keep your hips from getting stuck and rusty in a sitting position. All of us need to keep our hip joints aligned, greased and oiled all though life for maintaining our circulation and muscular – skeletal integrity from our hip to our feet and from our hips to our head. When your thighbones are restricting your movements, it is usually because they are stuck in some position in the hip joint. This class will explore all the possible movements and connections of how to work the hip joint to the thighbone. We will work the hamstrings, quadriceps, adductors, IT band and deep lateral rotators.

$30 workshop registration

Balls are provided during workshop for use. Kits are available for sale after class for home use.
