#17 – Take a face rolling workshop. Check.POSTED ON JANUARY 30, 2016 BY LDEACON1 I remember a moment in my classroom, telling my 6th graders, “You see this wrinkle?? This one RIGHT HERE?? You did this to me!” This morning, three of my friends (two of them also teachers who can probably attribute their wrinkles to students) joined me for an adventure in face rolling. Not long ago I wrote about what exactly prompted my interest in face rolling (read it here) so I will just get straight to it. We met at the studio of a Yamuna certified practitioner, Vicki, and each got our very own Face Rolling Kit. First, Vicki gave us an introduction to why face rolling was a thing and how it would help better align the bones in our faces (for therapeutic and vanity reasons). Lying down, the bigger ball went at the base of our skull (sort of a cushion) and we used the smaller ball for the rolling. Vicky led us through a host of different rolling moves from the brow/forehead area all the way down to our jaw, neck and clavicle. Right away, I was thinking My face is tingling, in a good way. The moves were small with firm pressure. It felt a little awkward at first, simply because it was a new feeling and a new movement, but with Vicki’s guidance it was easy to follow along. We rolled the right half of our face first (which I think took about 40 minutes). Then we sat up and looked at each other. WE COULD ALL SEE A DIFFERENCE. Like seriously – I could see everyone’s brows were a little lifted, their cheekbones a little fuller, and their jawlines had spread. It wasn’t lopsided or anything like that, but you could definitely see which half of the face had been “rolled.” The unrolled side of my face suddenly felt frozen, almost like I had a shot of novocaine, compared to the rolled side that felt relaxed and fluid. We then rolled the other side of our faces, and learned a few quick tricks for crow’s feet and opening the sinuses. The whole thing (kit and instruction) ended up being $75, and I thought it was well worth it, albeit a totally privileged 30-something-white-girl-experience. So once again, I have thwarted Botox another year.   How One Simple Tool Sets This Massage Treatment Apart From All Others
Local body work pro Vicki Seabrook harnesses inflatable balls to cure what ails you, from wrinkles to tendonitis. Published Apr 7, 2015 By Allison Jones If you haven't heard of the Yamuna method, you're not alone. Founded the 70s by Yamuna Zake in New York City, the holistic body work system uses inflatable balls, spiked plastic foot massagers, traditional yoga concepts, and some serious muscle pressure to reimagine the traditional table massage—and there's only one practitioner in Portland who's trained to do it. In a cozy studio above the Max line on SW Morrison, Vicki Seabrook welcomes clients to explore a wide variety of treatments—dubbed Body Logic, Rolling Table treatments, Yamuna Yoga, Body Rolling, Foot Fitness, and Face Saver sessions—based on the idea that healing and alignment occurs best with simultaneous bone stimulation and the application of traction to elongate muscle fibers in all directions. Seabrook was introduced to the transformative method via her father, who was being treated by Yamuna Zake herself for a herniated disk. "He was still under her care when I had a horse riding accident and couldn’t move—so he suggested I see her," remembers Seabrook. "It was a life changer. After being in so much pain for so long and not finding solutions anywhere, I was hooked after just one Body Logic session. I started going to her classes and I bought all the balls." After practicing the Yamuna method at home for many months, Seabrook enrolled in Zake's certification course, and practiced in New York at Bliss Yoga Center and worked directly under the method's founder before moving to Portland. There are 457 Yamuna practitioners worldwide, and just 206 practitioners in the US—compared to over 350,000 massage therapists! The community may be small, but it's united in a shared goal—to make every client independent and able to use the method at home, for free, without a therapist. Here's how the method works in all of its myriad forms:

Here, we explore eight local lines blooming in the Portland area. Vicki Seabrook: Bar Wonder Herbal Deodorant The Story: Bodywork expert and perfume enthusiast Vicki Seabrook never meant to be a maker of all-natural deodorant: “I got into this quite by accident—I have always loved creating but especially found great satisfaction in formulating healing products for fun. I tried my hand at making custom products for people who had common ailments such as headaches, muscle pain, cramps, eczema—some worked and some didn’t.” Then she found an old family recipe for a solid lotion bar, and tinkered with the recipe to create a natural deodorant for her husband. “I thought if it works for a man like him, it has to work, right? I tested it in the warmest weather, right before a workout…the reception was really enthusiastic and Bar Wonder Natural Deodorant was born.” Our Pick: Bar Wonder #1, a great unisex scent powered by rosemary extract and a blend of woodsy essential oils. Stick-fighting ingredients include cornstarch, shea and cocoa butter, beeswax, coconut oil, and probiotics.  Yoga Gets Hard Core
Marie Claire, September 2011 By Danielle Braff Think all that posing as a Snoozy stretch fast? These intense new variations will kick your butt, tone you fast, and make your Bikram class look like child’s play. Best for super-flexibility: Yamuna Body Rolling What it is: Body rolling uses pressure from “Yamuna” balls, 4- to 10-inch plastic spheres and half spheres, to loosen muscles. During typical yoga poses, you’ll press on the balls under foot or position them to stimulate areas of the leg, Arm, neck, and back, deepening the pose and realigning your body, says Vicky Lorraine, a body rolling instructor in Portland Oregon. Think of it as a deep tissue massage resulting in circus performer flexibility. Signature move: extended side angle. Stand in the side lunge with your right leg bent, left arm raised. With each leg bearing equal weight, place a Yumuna half-sphere under your right heel. Pressed down, using the ball to lean into the pose. Hold for three breaths, repeat on the left.
