These features are no longer part of the YTU At Home Program as we found that there was a much stronger desire from participants to have full capability to control their program in terms of what DVDs they get each month, how often they get them, being able to put the program on hold and restart again, etc... so we built out a platform to allow for that functionality. The other thing we noticed is that there were very few members who utilized any of the tools such as the Diary/Scheduler or teleconferences, so we replaced that functionality with these self-management functions. We appreciate your interest in the YTU At Home program and if you ever have any questions about your practice or the program in general, we’re always here to help, simply use the Contact Us page and we'll get right back to you.

The Yoga Tune Up® At Home Program is a series of Yoga Tune Up® based workouts that are delivered to your doorstep each month on DVD. For more on Yoga tune Up® at home, go here.

Practice 3 times per week at minimum, up to 6 times per week. You can also practice your At Home Program routines once in the morning and once at night to start and end your day feeling balanced. Therapy Ball routines can be practiced daily.

Every person's practice is impacted by their own indigenous structure. Flexibility is a function of healthy muscles and connective tissues in addition to the amount of movement one experiences at the joints. Because of our genetic dispositions, all of our bones and joint space differ from person to person. It is more important to pay attention to what you are feeling as opposed to what a pose looks like. For pose specific information, you can always ask questions in the Forums or on Teleconferences as that is a key purpose of those support functions.

You may need to put a little more effort into both the stretch and strength components in every pose. Take your time as you practice so that you can discover where your end ranges of motion are and try to create stability at these end ranges. You can also ask questions about your poses and practice in the Forums or on Teleconferences. You may also want to consider purchasing a personal consultation with one of our Yoga Tune Up? Trainers (see products page for details) to go over specific exercises/issues.

Absolutely. When you first begin practicing, sometimes you can become so exhausted that your body may need to just "let go" and fall asleep. When you first begin practicing, the body is often not able to distinguish the difference between deep conscious relaxation (Savasana) and sleeping. Practicing Savasana often will eventually teach your body how to better enter states of sedation and meditation without falling asleep. This is great conditioning for your nervous system and your general state of.

Not all of the videos are appropriate during pregnancy. We highly recommend that you consult your doctor before starting any new exercise program while pregnant. Next we suggest that you consider beginning your program as part of your post-partum recovery. Please check back for our Prenatal Yoga Tune Up? series coming soon!

Possibly. You should consult with your physician to find out exactly what he meant before you start any physical exercise program. Many doctors, Physical Therapists, Chiropractors and other health care professionals strongly endorse the proven therapeutic techniques in Yoga Tune Up.

If you have ANY pre-existing medical conditions, you should discuss your specific condition with your doctor PRIOR to doing any exercise program, including Yoga Tune Up?

If you have a serious allergy to latex we recommend you not use the Therapy Balls as they are made of a natural latex rubber. If you have a mild allergy to latex you could most likely use them as long as they are not in direct contact with your skin, but rather used with a layer of clothing between you and your skin. As with any medical condition, however, we highly recommend you consult with your doctor before use. 

Unused tissues often provide pain signals as their first layer of resistance towards change. Be persistent and the pain will diminish over time. You may also be sore after the first initial practices as your body is learning to adapt to the new healthy stresses being placed on it by your routines. Technically this is called "adaptation." If you are not used to exercising in this way, your body has already adapted to another way of existing, give this practice time so that you adapt and evolve into new, healthier living patterns! However, if the pain continues, we recommend you see your doctor to be sure there is not an underlying issue.

Typically, there is no reason to be alarmed, simply back off of the stretch and allow the circulation of nerve impulses to flood back into the tissues. Numbness occurs when the neural fascia surrounding a nerve is overstretched and begins to act like a suture around the nerve. This can stop the consistent flow of nerve impulses flowing through the nerve and the area associated with that nerve will lose sensation. It's as if the affected nerve was being strangled by its own connective tissue's sheath. However, if the numbness continues, we recommend you see your doctor to be sure there is not an underlying issue.

Good pain is a "comfortable level of discomfort." This means going to a perceived end range within your body, without pushing beyond that edge. Generally our elastic connective tissues need some time and more heat to build up before they will yield to the deeper stretch and, ultimately, to a new end range. If you push beyond that edge too quickly, it is likely you may tear something. This may feel like searing heat or perhaps an internal electrical explosion. This is an important signal to stop what you are doing and immediately apply ice.

The QuickFix Rx Micro-Region routines are designed to be both a therapeutic sequence when you are having issues with an area, or conversely, it can be used as a preventative to avoid issues in the target area. So the routines are for both healthy bodies and those with complaints. Either way, they should be practiced at least 3 times per week, with a maximum of six times per week. Think of the micro-regions like flossing your teeth, each area of your body needs as much attention as each nook and cranny of your teeth. When you go without flossing, your gums are sure to bleed; go without your micro-region routines and you are neglecting an important part of a healthy maintenance routine.

Ideally the  ball routines are done once per and you should rotate the areas. It is not recommended to do any one area  more than twice a day (once in the morning, and once in the evening.) These are very powerful and specific, so the time in between your ball-o-ssage is valuable time for your tissues to adapt to their new length and the abundant circulation that comes from the routines. You can definitely "overdo it" with the balls, and may end up bruising, over- stretching or irritating yourself  from going too hard, too deep, or too much.

It can be very helpful to use the balls before practice as they quickly increase circulation in tissues that may be stagnant, knotty, and uncooperative. Once the balls have worked their magic of gripping at your skin, grabbing at clumpy layers of fascia and muscle, and rubbing you out like pizza dough, you will be able to experience all of your Yoga Tune Up® exercises more deeply and directly. Often, just doing poses is not enough, we need to actually address the physical barriers within our tissue to get fresh blood and nutrients circulating and saturating our tissues so they they will function optimally when we do exercise.
On the flip side...it feels fantastic to "punctuate" the end of a practice session with the relaxation you get from using the balls. Using the balls after you practice assures that every last nook and cranny of your body is buzzing and contacted from inside out.
So really it's up to you. ROLL ON!

Along with advanced training on biomechanics and physiology, once successfully passing the final exam/audition, you will be certified at the level of training you are taking. This provides you with the ability to teach your own Yoga Tune Up® classes. Each level of training provides very specific templates to jump start your own classes and workshops.

Prospective trainees should have a sincere interest in the body and a long history of some form of physical practice (such as Yoga, Pilates, Dance, Martial Arts, Personal Training, etc.). Many students of the Teacher Training take the training to further enhance their knowledge of anatomy, physiology and body movement and not to teach Yoga Tune Up® and this is welcomed.

Yes, this training will deepen your understanding of the body, biomechanics and give you tools towards stepping into the role of a teacher if that is your goal, or simply deepen your knowledge as a student or practitioner of any physical movement practice.

To teach Yoga Tune Up® in a Yoga Studio environment you will need to have advanced working knowledge of Yoga poses and their names. If you teach other fitness formats, your Yoga Tune Up® training will help expand your teaching skills within those other modalities.

Prospective Yoga teachers find that they are much more prepared to teach Yoga Tune Up® if they are currently a certified Yoga teacher, or proficient at another format, be it Pilates, Nia, dance, or other fitness modalities. The training is geared towards teachers and fitness professionals, but there are always some advanced/longtime students ready to take the plunge into teaching in these trainings. A 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training course is not a pre-requisite nor is being a Yoga Teacher. We expect all applicants to have a sincere interest in the body, and a long history of some form of physical practice. Finishing the training is not a guarantee that they will be able to teach, as trainees must also perform well during their final evaluation (teaching a class) and a written exam. If you do pass, and get certified as a Yoga Tune Up® Teacher, you may absolutely go out and teach or incorporate this work into your existing teaching format.

Depending on the specific training contact hours can range from 6 to 40 hours of "in class" time. Many trainings, especially if they are certification trainings also include homework and out of class hours. For example the YTU Level 1 Certification training is about 42 classroom hours but is considered a 70 hour training with the work that needs to be done outside of classroom contact hours.

No. All Trainings are individual modules and no pre-requisites apply.

There are currently 8 modules to be a Yoga Tune Up® "Integrated" Teacher, the basic level of certification, the modules for the "Integrated" certificate, include a 70 hour YTU Certification Training, which prepares teachers to teach 1 to 1.5 hour classes and privates; a 20 hour Hips Immersion Training, which deepens anatomy studies, injury scenarios and prepares for workshop teaching; a 20 hour Shoulders Immersion Training, which furthers anatomy studies, injury scenarios and prepares for workshop teaching; and another 20 hour Core Immersion module which is mostly experiential, focusing on developing a profoundly connected abdominal core both physically and emotionally. All teachers who complete this initial 100 hours of training are eligible to be considered for the Yoga Tune Up® Masters program which prepares them to lead teacher trainings and retreats.

In summary:

Yoga Tune Up® Integrated Certification (120 hours)

• YTU Certification Training- 70 hours 
• Hips Immersion -20 hours
• Shoulders Immersion - 20 hours
• Core Immersion- 20 hours
• Breath & Bliss – 20 hours
• YTU Integrated Embodied Anatomy - 20 hours
• TRMM: The Science of Rolling – 8 hours
• TRMM: Ball Sequencing & Innovation – 8 hours

Completing a YTU Certification Training does not qualify you to become a certified YTU Teacher.  Becoming a certified and licensed YTU Teacher is based on a combination of the following: completing all in-class hours, how well the material is retained and re-presented during in-class presentations, timely completion of homework, results of the final exam, and a student’s ability to honor the material, rules and policies set within the framework of the training.

You must pass an in-class evaluation and a post-training test. If you pass, you are eligible for licensing. There is a $150 annual license fee upon certification which includes a host of support elements for you once you receive your license and become certified. Once licensed and certified, you may begin teaching privates, classes and workshops that are branded as Yoga Tune Up®. The licensing process can take as little as one week to one month, depending on your submission of the post-training test. A $95 renewal fee will be due on the same day each year based on your official certification date. You will be reminded one full month before the payment is due via the email address associated with your account on our website.

Yoga Tune Up® teachers have a home at Equinox Fitness clubs nationwide teaching both Yoga Tune Up® and Tune It Up: Conscious Conditioning. Yoga Tune Up® classes are also welcome at Yoga studios and retreat centers worldwide. Teachers can also teach classes to corporations, businesses, festivals, volunteer, colleges, park districts, privately, and so on. The possibilities are endless and upon becoming a licensed Yoga Tune Up® instructor, you will be given support, suggestions and referrals to outlets that seek YTU teachers and courses.

Yoga Tune Up® Immersions/YTU Certification Teacher Training/Therapy Ball Practitioner & Integrated Embodied Anatomy Trainings, are considered continuing education credits for Yoga Alliance.  They do not count toward a 200 or 300 Hour Teacher Training unless it is a part of the training curriculum.

• Yoga Tune Up® is a self-care fitness format that includes all of the elements above (although it may or may not include Roll Model® Therapy Ball work), however it also includes dynamic and static range of motion exercises to target the body’s blind spots to improve proprioception (body sense), interoception (physiological listening) and motor control (performance). This format utilizes unique exercises that educate each practitioner about their body biomechanics and their personal relationship to how they use their body on a daily basis. Mindset work surrounds and infuses each YTU lesson so that subtle and gross awareness evolve to help every practitioner live better in their body.

When a Roll Model Practitioner is up for annual renewal, they will need to take, and pass, an abbreviated version of the Roll Model Correspondence Course Test.

The ALPHA and PLUS have the same grippiness and pliability of the original YTU Therapy Balls but are simply larger and denser versions. Their size provides a different stimulus for your tissues but they can be used interchangeably with the original YTU Balls depending on your desired pressure. The larger balls grab a hold of more area at once, so it may actually minimize the trigger point specificity that some people prefer with our smaller YTU balls. The different sized balls give you multiple options all over your body or within any given area.
 
You will find that the ALPHA Balls are awesome on the chest and buttocks. The PLUS sized inside of the snug grip tote are perfect for rolling the back of the neck and creating maximum traction along the spine. Larger body types may prefer the PLUS and ALPHA over the originals, although the originals are important to access tight areas. We believe there's different tools for different body parts and different desired depths of pressure and these three different sizes give you the tools you'll need for a full body approach. Please do not use any of the Therapy Ball products directly on your abdomen, for abdominal massage, please use the Coregeous Ball.

The Roll Model® Therapy Balls (YTU OG's, PLUS, ALPHA) are made of a natural rubber and will oxidize if exposed to moisture or prolonged sunlight. They are designed to soften with use. Direct sunlight, overexposure to air and prolonged moisture will ultimately dry the natural rubber out and they will lose their grip. It is best to keep them in a bag or drawer when not being used, but never keep them in a bag with wet clothes or towels as the moisture will also affect the balls. To clean these therapy balls, wipe with a lightly damp cloth, then remove all moisture with a dry cloth until the ball has regained its grip. 

We recommend replacing your balls every 3-6 months based on use. The Therapy Balls, especially the Original sized balls, will break down and soften with use. This is a good thing as it’s great to have a pair of extra soft balls for soft tissue work directly on small bony areas (such as your wrists, elbow, ankles, and toe joints). It may however be too soft for larger areas where you want deeper pressure, so having a few pair around is all part of filling out the tool box.

The best way to keep your Therapy Balls clean is to wipe them gently with a lightly moist towel and then do another wipe with a dry towel to regain its grip. Never submerge the balls in water. If your Therapy Balls arrive and have a slight oily residue on them, this is normal. Simply wipe them down with a dry cloth to remove any excess oil. Should any of the oil end up on your mat or floor, any cleaning solution will wipe it clean.

The YTU Therapy Balls are made of a natural latex rubber. If you have a serious allergy to latex we recommend you not use the Therapy Balls. If you have a mild allergy to latex you could most likely use them as long as they are not in direct contact with your skin, but rather used with a layer of clothing between you and your skin. As with any medical condition, however, we highly recommend you consult with your doctor before use.

There are no phthalates (a PVC softener) in the solid Therapy Ball products (Original YTU, PLUS, ALPHA). Phthalates, in a non-detectable trace amount, less than the allowable .1 percent are used in the Coregeous ball, which has passed all tests from the manufacturer in accordance with CPSIA Section 106 and 108 as well as California Proposition 65. The trace amount of phthalates in the Coregeous Ball can cause the ball to adhere and possibly damage some varnished or lacquered wood furniture if left in contact for extended periods of time.

Unfortunately it is not a scent that is instantly "erasable." Our solid therapy balls are a natural rubber product that does have a scent, which fades over time with use just like a new car, new carpet, new sneakers.

The term Yoga Tune Up® Therapy balls refers specifically to the original YTU Therapy Balls. The Roll Model® Therapy Balls are all the various Therapy Balls used within The Roll Model® Method and YTU, i.e., the YTU Therapy Balls (OG’s), the Therapy Ball PLUS, the ALPHA Ball and the Coregeous® Ball. Collectively, these are The Roll Model Therapy Balls.
