Distinguish your teaching of self-care through self-massage for every client and context with the Roll Model® Method Training .


Taught by Tune Up Fitness Trainer Sigrún Haraldsdóttir, this training empowers you to teach and personally adopt simple and highly effective self-myofascial release regimens using Yoga Tune Up®/Roll Model® Method Therapy Balls. You will learn how to incorporate RMM/YTU Therapy Ball sequences into your teaching toolkit by introducing embodied anatomy concepts to your students or clients.

The Roll Model® Method Training is a 16-hour course, two whole days of The Science of Rolling and Ball Sequencing & Innovation, which includes anatomy, unique body tissue instructions and massage with balls. The course will greatly deepen your knowledge of the connective tissue, its important role and how we use a massage ball to release tension in the connective tissue, increase flow of fluid,  elasticity and nerve function!
 

DAY 1 - THE SCIENCE OF ROLLING 

Self-massage is a fundamental practice for fostering internal anatomical listening skills and enhancing embodiment. Day 1 introduces the science of how and why self-massage using the Roll Model® Method works and offers the latest on fascial research, pain science, and therapy ball applications for multiple populations.

You will learn techniques to:
Skillfully lead classes through 6 step-by-step, proven, whole-body sequences — approved by physical therapists, pain medicine specialists, and chiropractors — that can affect positive changes in the rotator cuff, upper back, lower back, neck, jaw, hips, IT band and feet.

Maintain your body and prevent injuries using self-care strategies with the original Yoga Tune Up® Therapy Balls.
Identify bony landmarks, muscular attachments, and fascia geography to enhance your teaching and personal daily practice.
Deepen your understanding of pain physiology and how the Therapy Balls can help alleviate pain.
 

DAY 2 - BALL SEQUENCING & INNOVATION 

Today we learn a wide variety of soft-tissue self-care solutions for every client and condition utilizing all four different sized Roll Model® Therapy Balls. You will refine your teaching skills and learn to effortlessly craft innovative moves and sequences to differentiate your teaching for any individual or community.
Explore self-myofascial release in areas of your body frequently over-used, like the hands and knees, or completely ignored like the diaphragm and pelvic floor. We will practice 6 sequences (different ones than in Science of Rolling).
Improve classroom demonstration of Therapy Ball techniques and trouble-shoot classroom pitfalls and challenges when presenting to beginners or more experienced students.
 
The Roll Model Method® Training is open to all levels of student/educator /clinician. There is no pre-requisite to attend except an interest in diving deep into the techniques and logic of rolling, why it works and how to share it with others.

Upon completion of this training you will be able to skilfully incorporate RMM balls and techniques into your teaching. Information about becoming certified as a Roll Model® Method Practitioner will be provided after the course.
