Donna Waks did you see this? I wonder if and when did you meet Yamuna personally. I definitely loved your Yamuna balls class and keep some things from it present in my life till nowadays, itβs been about 20 years ago since Iβve been attending your classes in DC. Forever grateful πβ€οΈ
Dear Yamuna Body Rolling Community,
It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I share that Yamuna Zake is nearing the end of her life.
Yamuna fell ill at the end of last year, and unfortunately things have progressed rapidly.
For more than 40 years, she dedicated her life to helping people heal, understand their bodies, and suffer less. Nothing brought her more joy than sharing this work, teaching others, and helping people discover their bodyβs ability to heal.
So many people around the world have been touched by her work, her teaching, her hands, her vision, and her relentless dedication to others.
Even in the midst of all of this, Yamuna recently spent 10 days in Ibiza teaching Body Logic β what she often calls the βmotherβ of all her work. Teaching continues to bring her joy until the very end.
This is an incredibly difficult time for all of us close to her, and we are asking for prayers, love, compassion, and respect as we move through it togethr.
Yamunas work and legacy will continue through the powerful community she has created. If you would like to share a message or a prayer with her, you can leave a comment here or in the Yamuna Flight WhatsApp Group. I am sharing all of the messages with her: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LyFYnwmZFCv5ytvvgiiS5X
Thank you for your love and light during this time.
