Not long ago I played four hours of tennis. To someone in the prime of life, no big deal. Right? However, I am sixty-eight years of age and in July of this year I could barely walk up a flight of stairs without desperately holding onto the banister!
I admit, I was a bit skeptical at first when she said that she had some exercises that would help me. And that I could be physically active for the rest of my life!
After only three sessions with her, I was back on the tennis court! Now, after ten sessions, my wife and I are heading to Florida to take on the senior circuit!
I cannot thank Marianna enough for restoring my health.
I love body rolling. It’s been great for building my core, developing flexibility and strength throughout my body, and healing injuries. When I attend regularly, I find myself very conscious of engaging my abdominal muscles and not slouching, sitting or standing. It just feels better.
When I broke my upper arm this winter, my doctor said I might never regain full movement in my arm or its former strength. After one session with Marianna, I increased my arm mobility to near 100%. When I stressed it a few weeks later, a few more sessions brought it back to its former flexibility.
I have been a pupil of Marianna Moll for more than 20 years and I owe my good health (physical and emotional) and flexibility to her programs. I am seventy-five years young and expect to continue with her for the rest of my life. Thank you, Marianna –E.M.
Last year I attended a Yamuna Rolling class with Marianna I wasn’t sure what to expect but felt like it was an opportunity to help my body with its many aches and pains. One of my on-going issues was persistent “tennis elbow” after helping a friend remove hardwood floor planks…my elbow chronically bothered me for almost a year….One Yamuna Rolling class with Marianna corrected the problem and I have not had any other incidence since the class. I highly recommend Yamuna Rolling for any number of chronic muscular/tendinitis problems for everyone. I am a firm believer and plan to attend Marianna’s workshops whenever possible….it is a real joy to find a non-invasive solution to correcting muscular imbalances! –Amy B.
I too am truly thankful for this yoga studio community that you have inspired. Today is my birthday and I can’t think of a better gift to give myself than an opportunity to come to your class!
I look forward to class every week! I feel each day the amazing work that the practice of yoga has had on my whole self, mind/body/spirit. It is difficult to narrow it down to specific details, but the best I can attest to is that I am a gentler, kinder, more peaceful person.
I have been attending weekly Yamuna classes for about five years and recently had my height professionally measured for the first time in 10 years. What a wonderful surprise to see, at 62 years of age, that I have gained a full inch in hight! I am now 5’5″ after being 5’4″ tall my entire adult life. That is so inspiring. I have also lost over 40 pounds and feel the fittest I ever have in my entire life.
I wanted to tell you that after the Yamuna in Bed workshop, I did as you suggested and practiced in bed for five days in a row. The change was remarkable! I was living with muscle and joint pain that was borderline debilitating; it was limiting my life and diminishing my quality of life. After just one day of Yamuna in bed, I felt remarkably better. I have continued to practice every day in bed and while I am struggling with some other health issues, my muscles and joints feel well and pain-free most of the time. It’s lovely and I’m grateful.
