The Bodymind Ballwork Method

The Bodymind Ballwork Method is an accessible guide to the method developed by yoga and bodywork teacher Ellen Saltonstall--a self-directed, gentle practice to help people release tension and move with ease. The Bodymind Ballwork Method features the use of rubber balls in a range of sizes to support, massage, and stretch the body in specific places, providing clear instructions for practicing Bodymind Ballwork to release tension from head to toes. With 50 black and white photos and 25 drawings to illustrate techniques and concepts, the author offers exercises for spine, head, neck, face, abdomen, ribs, shoulders, arms, hands, pelvis, things, knees, lower legs, and feet. A body-mind practice, Bodymind Ballwork works to relieve soft tissue pain, emotional trauma, nervous stress, and is also designed to empower individuals to maintain their own health and mobility in connection with any ongoing physical activity they do.
