Not a dancer, but want to get on the ball?

Contact me for private lessons or to book your own Yamuna® Release Party!

Don't let your daily activities and fitness goals be derailed by foot pain, knee pain, hip or back pain! YAMUNA® is about Body Sustainability. We teach effective life-long self-care solutions for strength, balance, flexibility and ease of motion. 

Get on the ball with certified YBR® instructor Michelle Arington and discover the tools and receive the education you need to easily keep your body healthy, flexible and pain-free at any age or fitness level.

Yamuna® Body Rolling & Foot Fitness routines help you avoid common injuries caused by muscular tension and imbalance, and structural misalignments. Yamuna® will help you quickly improve your posture, and the core strength to support it with ease. 

When you learn how to use the YBR® routines to understand your own anatomy and address your own body's needs, you learn how to unwind and release the tension, stress, pain, old and new injuries, and trauma, while learning to identify and unlock unconscious postural habits that limit range of motion and enjoyment of daily life.  A Yamuna ball is like having your massage therapist, physical therapist, chiropractor and personal trainer available to you every day, all day long. The power to heal yourself is now in your hands. 

This YAMUNA Release Party will roll you through the basic Yamuna® Body Rolling and Foot Fitness routines that you need to easily build a personalized self-care home practice. This class is suitable for beginners as well as those who would like to review and deepen their commitment to Yamuna®.

Save your Back with this Ultimate Back Release Party
 
A mindful, breath-centered, Yamuna® Body Rolling experience to help you unwind
​and let go of tension in the body, heart and mind.
Roll out the stress of the holidays and into the New Year with this powerful self-care practice. The perfect way to treat yourself, or a friend, or both!
 
This Ultimate Back Release Party is designed for anyone who suffers with back weakness, stiffness, pain, herniated discs, and sciatica, or for anyone who would like to learn how to prevent these issues with Yamuna Body Rolling.
 
We'll begin by focusing on YBR® routines to help you restore and support healthy lower back function and build balance, strength and length in the low back and abdominals  *Hint: For those of you looking for a little psoas release, you will find it here!
 
Then, we'll progress into the middle back. Compression in this area can cause lower and upper back pain; as well neck and shoulder limited range of motion and pain. These focused routines will release tension and restrictions in the ribcage and thoracic spine for more space and freedom of breath and motion.
 
Finally, we will focus on the sternum, and upper shoulders to the scull. This is a common area of tightness and pain. These YBR® routines will decompress the thoracic and cervical vertebrae to release the tension and stress, restore alignment and range of motion, and help you create a long, strong, flexible, healthy neck.
