57. Yamuna: Liberate Your Body from Pain and Injuries Through Body Rolling

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.
