Yamuna Foot Wakers are hard round domes covered with little nubs. They are designed to increase the strength, flexibility and range of motion of the feet, which supports full body alignment.
They are like coffee for your feet. Or healthier yet, a nutrient dense shot of wheatgrass juice that blasts life into every cell giving the whole organism a perk up.
The little nubs on these funny looking domes hit all of the accu-points, meridians, feel-good buttons or whatever you call them on your feet to provide a bittersweet experience that comes with a lasting energy burst.
My Yamuna Foot Wakers are actually one of My Favorite Things.
Foot fitness
I attended a Yamuna Foot Fitness workshop taught by a certified Yamuna practitioner. Yamuna Zake is a ‘body sustainability practitioner’ who has trained hundreds of body-work practitioners in her method. She believes that foot fitness is fundamental for everyone’s health and performance.
The years we spend wearing shoes weakens our intrinsic foot muscles leaving us with ‘floppy feet’ that are not ideal for weight bearing, postural alignment and performance. Standing on Foot Wakers develops the intrinsic foot muscles for ideal posture, running and preventing back pain.

Tender spots
The Foot Wakers can be a bliss maker one moment and a pain maker the next. When you stand on the Foot Wakers (or even from sitting) the nubs dig deep for the ultimate in deep luxury massage but find a tender spot you didn’t know you had and ouch those Wakers can Mr. Hyde into a torture device.
According to reflexology and Chinese medicine, those excruciatingly painful tender spots in your feet correspond to an area of your body that may be experiencing an energy blockage. Working on your feet in this way clears those blockages.
How I use my Foot wakers
- I keep mine under my desk. As I work on my computer I ‘roll’ my feet around on them.
- After a home spa evening I’ll follow a bubble. bath with a luxurious deep tissue foot massage when my feet are warm and soft.
- When my muscles are tight from regular strength training I spend a lot more time rollling out all of my muscles and I’ll spend a few minutes using my Foot Wakers.
- When my feet are sore and achy with tender spots.

- For foot strength.
A splurge
I have had my Yamuna Foot Wakers since 2007. I’d be disappointed if I had to purchase a pair now, they are very pricey at around $60 a pair, although that’s a lot less expensive than a massage therapist, they are very durable, can be inflated with a needle for firmness and are easy to store.
Yes, put them on your wish list!

I started pumping iron and drinking green smoothies in my teens. Now a 40+ mama with 25 years of experience working in the fitness industry, I do things differently. What I discovered during my personal healing journey made me pivot in my approach as a personal fitness and wellness coach. Now I teach people how to sweat, nourish and glow from an entirely new perspective.
