“Taking time to learn from your own body the wonders of 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 using. “ ~ Yamuna Zake, creator of the Yamuna® Technique

The desire to go deeper into the amazing lessons that are possible to learn from the body grows with each day of this training.

Yamuna® Foundations is the starting point for studying all of the Yamuna® modalities. This revamped and updated training is a 50 hour training course combining a strong experiential approach to learning your anatomy along with the 25 years of experience Yamuna has gained through teaching and training practitioners in YBR®.
This certification uses the Yamuna AnatomyU® program to guide the you through the muscle chains, working each muscle to lengthen, tone, release and restore muscle memory and function. 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 you to 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.
The combination of AnatomyU® and Yamuna® Body Rolling prepare you to be able to teach all the basic lines of YBR® to both group classes and individuals. In most cases basic YBR classes help people to greatly improve their alignment, range of motion, and structural problems. When people need more help in problem solving the strong anatomy knowledge gained from AnatomyU allows you to focus with more detail on the muscles which need to be worked with greater attention. The combination of AnatomyU 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 is being focused on during that class.
