The workshop is open to all, professional bodyworkers and anyone else. Whether you would like to heal others, or feel more comfort and peace yourself, this workshop can help you. The exercises are done in a standing position, but are adaptable to sitting; those who are unable to stand, or who can stand for only a short time, still benefit from the exercises and are encouraged to attend.

Space is limited to six people, but the workshop will be held once a month as long as there is sufficient demand. For the date of the next workshop and for further information, please call Rita at (202) 775-0164, or leave a message for her at Alexandria Myotherapy, Inc., (703) 548-2270. >

Yamuna Body RollingTM

Instructor: Sheri Bergen, CMT

Fee: $20 (60 minute group class); private classes and hands-on YBR are also available by request.

Time: Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

Location: Alexandria Myotherapy, Inc.

Additional Information: Yamuna Body RollingTM is a workout, massage and stretching session "rolled" into one. Through specific routines that follow the natural direction of muscle release, you lie over a 6 - 10-inch ball designed exclusively for this practice and literally roll out your body like dough, elongating your muscles and creating space. YBR energizes and relaxes at the same time. With focused breathing the ball releases tension and discomfort, increases circulation, and allows you to unwind and free up your entire body. This technique may be learned in a class setting or be received as part of a session of massage therapy.

Please call Sheri Bergen at (703) 200-4215 for more information.
