When was the last time you checked in with yourself? How do you heal from the grief and pain you’ve suppressed over the years?
"We're so busy living that we don't know what pain we've held on to." - Yamuna
Just because you feel fine doesn't mean your body is free from pain. In this week’s episode of HYDRATE, I chat with Body Sustainability master teacher Yamuna about Body Rolling and how it miraculously liberates the body from years of tension, pain, and trauma - no matter your age.
Believing that old age shouldn't be seen as a cage, Yamuna explains the power of bone stimulation and how it corrects injuries lurking in your body whether you’re 30 or 60. Yes, your body may have been enduring pains you're unaware of, and she shares the key to healing them.
As Yamuna and I ponder the beauty of aging, we also cover the struggles of single parenting, dealing with grief, realizations about youth, hydration, and the truth about self-healing.
Yamuna is a world-renowned Body Work expert who has devoted decades to developing a revolutionary approach to self-care, flexibility, movement, and everything about wellness that transcends standard fitness regimens.
Her Yamuna branded teachings are practiced by thousands of men and women worldwide - both from studios and the comfort of their homes. Her newest book, The Foot Fix: 4 Weeks to Healthier, Happier Feet, was released in January 2021. She's a visionary on a mission to heal the world, one pain-free body at a time.
