Ultimate Body Rolling Workout The Revolutionary Way to Tone, Lengthen, and Realign Your Body

Yamuna Zake grew up in Chicago, where she became a student of yoga at the age of fourteen. At sixteen, she began teaching yoga. She was an education major at the University of Redlands, California, then came to New York to get a master's degree at the Bank Street College of Education. In 1980 she began to develop and practice a body therapy she called Body Logic, which grew out of her practice as a yoga teacher. Then, based on the principles of Body Logic-in which a trained practitioner works on another person-she created Body Rolling to enable people to take care of their own bodies. In a few years, Yamuna developed Body Rolling into a unique, amazingly effective system that acts like a combination of fitness workout and massage, and also prevents and treats injury. In 1997, she published her first book, Body Rolling: An Experiential Approach to Complete Muscle Release (Healing Arts Press), a professional guide to Body Rolling, and created a certification program. Today there are over 600 trained Body Rolling practitioners throughout the United States and Canada, as well as in England, Spain, Italy, Israel, Argentina, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Yamuna has a studio in New York City where she teaches classes in Body Rolling and has a private practice. Since 1990 she has been presenting Body Logic, and then Body Rolling, at professional conferences. She has also taught Body Logic and Body Rolling at the Omega Institute and at yoga and Pilates centers and massage schools throughout the United States, as well as in Canada and Spain.Zake, Yamuna is the author of 'Ultimate Body Rolling Workout The Revolutionary Way to Tone, Lengthen, and Realign Your Body', published 2003 under ISBN 9780767912303 and ISBN 0767912306.
