How Do I Become Certified?
THE YAMUNA BODY ROLLING FOUNDATIONS CERTIFICATION TRAINING is the starting point for studying all of the Yamuna® modalities. This is a 9 day course combining a strong experiential approach to learning your anatomy along with the 25 years of experience gained through teaching and training practitioners in Yamuna Body Rolling.
About The Certification Program
This certification uses the Anatomy U® program to guide the student through working each muscle to assure it is switched on. This means that you learn how to build each consecutive muscle in an area of the body and see the importance of each muscle in building the entirety of the body. Using your own body as your laboratory, your self-study brings a level of expertise in knowing how the body’s structure is put together. This makes you highly efficient in helping others problem solve and self-heal.
Taking time to learn from your own body the logic and order that are possible when you put each piece back together gives you the tools to improve your work in whatever modality you are already using.
The combination of Anatomy U and Yamuna® Body Rolling prepare you to teach all the basic lines of YBR to both group classes and individuals. In most cases basic YBR classes help people greatly improve their alignment, range of motion, and structural problems. When people need more help in problem solving, the strong anatomy knowledge gained from Anatomy U allows you to focus with more detail on the muscles which need to be worked with greater attention.
The combination of Anatomy U and YBR also allow teachers to be much more flexible in their class offerings. Classes can be partial YBR with special focus on muscles in the area that are of specific interest.

What is Yamuna?
At the core of Yamuna are several key concepts:
- Direct bone stimulation – which improves the quality of bone and rids the bone of excessive impact.
- Quality and alignment of bone – which determines the quality of muscle.
- Muscles that need to be worked – from origin toward insertion.
- The use of mild traction allows muscles and fascia to elongate and unwind.
- Alignment of the bones first, and then work the muscles to improve bone alignment.
Yamuna is about deeply penetrating the body using a ball that allows your body weight to penetrate into a round form that is supportive and safe. The ball provides resistance so the body receives feedback and can respond. The complete portfolio of Yamuna balls are used throughout the training (silver, gold, pearl, black). The black balls are used with Anatomy U, a visual tool which shows both the anatomy and how the ball is applied to it.
