Foam rolling is sooooooo 2012

[katinthehat]

I did a class today called Yamuna Body Rolling and it is the schnizznit.  Seriously, I feel amazing and it gets into places that are virtually impossible to get with a bulky foam roller.

I don't 100% buy into all the claims of it lengthening your muscles and all that but I can't deny it got spots on my loose that I never thought would be anything other than big old knots.

I might even been able to quit my chiro and ART after this (just kidding.  sort of.)

I'm intrigued! Which sizes did you use? I think I definitely need the pair of balls.

Interesting!

HiC - I came home with two balls. The silver one and the pair of black ones. There's also a pearl one that's used for chest and face work, but the silver can do that as well, it's just harder. The black ones are the hardest and smallest, so great for working into the hip flexors and deep into the glutes.

and boy, did that sound sexual.

Is it expensive?

[katinthehat]

I bought the balls from the teacher - each ball was $30 (but the black came as a pair.) But that's all you need. You don't really need to take a recurring class unless you just want to do that. There's tons of videos on youtube about how to roll specific body parts and there are DVDs if you want a more structured feel to it.

Here's a link to the balls - www.yamunabodyrolling.com/store/balls_+_essentials/index.php The gold one is post surgical

There's also some kits on amazon - www.amazon.com/Yamuna-Body-Rolling-Silver-Ball/dp/B0017331K0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367110286&sr=8-1&keywords=yamuna+body+rolling

We did this calf/shin routine today and it was killer but oh so good

I am totally replaying SNL's Shweddy Balls skit in my head right now..."Can I touch your balls...."

We won't discuss how many times we said "that's what she said" when talking about the ball rolling class

I love the balls!

Just totally started laughing at the online store description:

I've never heard if this. Really neat! I hope it shows up in our area soon.

I've seen that in the Gaiam catalog and always thought it looked like it could be good. I might have to consider it now.
