Taylore's Divine Balance Yoga & Body Rolling

You'll need a Custom Yamuna Ball Kit to participate. All bodies are unique and need custom equipment sizes and support based on height, body and tissue type and personal preference as well as historical injuries. Also to note are areas of tightness/stress as well as weakness and ways to comfort and support. We recommend at least one each of the Gold, Silver, Pearl and Pair of Black Calf Balls and a pump (unless you already have a pump at home.) In addition we recommend adding at least one additional Gold, Silver or Pearl to make a pair of larger balls to ensure you can do a double ball roll for your spine the most supportive of all the Spine Routines.

These are premium balls invented for this work. The inflatable balls have been manufactured for a specific purpose and are very important. We use only Yamuna Brand Body Rolling Equipment as our products are of the highest quality phthalate free plastic from Ledraplastics in Italy. They are inflatable and the density of balls created to our specifications for the most effective body work. They can be inflated to your body's preference, harder for a stronger deeper massage and softer for a more gentle approach for the sensitive areas that you will want to release slowly. This process is all about NOT pushing.

Are you over or under 5’5” tall? -Over 5’5”? Then choose the Gold or Silver pairs plus the rest of the balls. - 5’4” & Under,? Then choose the Pearl pair and be sure you add a Gold for support for your upper back and Neck.

Is your body more tight (dense or knotted musculature) or more loose (lax tissue or joints) or a mix? Gold is more comforting and offers a gentle opening, Silver a sharper edge and more able to dig deep - both are necessary! Do you prefer a strong massage or a gentler more supportive touch? Gold spreads and softens, actually helps with releasing super tight musculature. It is the most supportive, best for beginners and those with chronic pain and safe support. The Silver has a nice strong and more detailed edge to go deep and it is well suited for all heights and sizes of bodies. Pearl is the smaller version of the Gold ball and the softer plastic. Because the Pearl is smaller, it has a sharper edge and more specificity.

Scar tissue, adhesions, as well as the tissue connected to bones and organs will be affected with different grip and pull patterns throughout your body. Because our bodies do their best to hold us together - despite our compensations, we need to explore internally. Understanding when to go gently, how to let the air out and soften the ball. Starting with the correct size ball as you slowly melt away the tightness, tension and possible pain or calcification in the area is key. We must not push and cause further injury, so this is why we recommend several balls for your body as you experiment and use them for safety and support.

Those of us with weak abdominal / core, often will work against ourselves as we try to gain strength. If we push, we know it can build strength but it can also cause other parts of the body to grip, tighten and cause further imbalance your injury. If we take care and use the additional supports we are then able to actually build the area that needs to be turned back on, without straining or over using other body parts.

You may have tried a class, or Youtube one off instruction video. Some people want to drop in to a class, but they need the first steps first and options to be safe in the system. This process of using the Body Foundations program, we wanted to give instruction for all bodies and background to overcome limitations in everyone's body. Because we are looking to align and repair injury or need to balance and strengthen areas of our body, we have included the Modifications within the library for you to have. With this, know that the extra support of secondary balls is imperative to do these routines. If you opt out and get just 1 ball, you will not be able to do all of the variations supplied.

The Starter Kit can absolutely be purchased separately with a Ball Kit to do a trial test. That would be a Gold or Pearl plus the Calf Ball Pair and Pump. It will just take you longer to get optimal results. For most immediate benefit, we recommend that the full ‘Body Foundations Library’ be purchased along with the Total Body Ball Kit to work on your entire body. Note, the entier Starter Kit w Modifictions is included in the Body Foundations Intro Course.

Often people will try to purchase just 1 ball and test out Body Rolling. To complete the Body Foundations Course you will need more than that. When I speak with teachers I have trained, they tell me that this is the hardest way to teach people. When they insist on only purchasing 1 ball. Teachers are then limited in teaching the groups when people do not purchase a full kit. You are absolutely able to purchase 1 ball, but not optimal especially if you have areas of weakness such as your neck or abdomen / core or issues such as scoliosis or imbalances in your body. If you need to purchase a minimum then purchase 1 large ball (Gold, Silver or Pearl depending on your height) and a pair of Black Calf Balls. This 3 ball kit along with the Starter Series will give you greatest success to test drive the program.
