The larger ball looks like it might be the Pearl Ball, but I can't tell from the picture. Sometimes the balls are a little wonky when new, especially if they've been shipped - meaning not perfectly round. It's possible they may ship them slightly deflated to reduce the chance the balls might rupture in transit. Looks like the one with the dent could use a bit of air.
I never had the face kit, so I can't speak to how the balls are used in that one. Here's a link that includes the balls and a pump, so it sounds like traditional Yamuna balls: https://healthyandrested.com/product...face-ball-kit/ Here's a short YT video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOYsf5U5TbQ And another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYLeiS6QzJI Looks like it would feel amazing. I used to have a local Yamuna instructor who did a couple of workshops at a local yoga studio. Sure was sad when she relocated.

Margot - I'm absolutely over the moon to "see" you! Hope you've been well. Would love to hear about your class and whether you feel this will be a good addition to your fleet of Yamuna balls.
Sorry to hijack, Jeannine - hadn't seen Margot on the forum in a while. The balls are air-filled per the description in my first link, as it refers to a pump. I can't imagine what you'd substitute for the Yamuna balls. Face balls separately: https://www.bodyrollingdianneglass.c...face-ball-kit/

i have Yamuna's TB DVD and i was able to use available balls that i already owned to do the workout. i know people gush about the real deal, but i'm willing to use what i have. i do a lot of body rolling using Yamuna's DVD, Jill Miller, etc., so i have had success with body rolling in general. since Margot bought it from "a lady," i'm guessing she found another source other than Yamuna's site?

They are air-filled. I was told I'd probably never need to pump them up. They come as a set and I bought mine from the UK Distributor here: https://yamunabodyrolling.co.uk/products/face-ball I don't think this helps you though, sorry. As far as I can see, Yamuna USA only sells the balls with the DVD. I have loads of balls in all shapes and sizes but can't think that any of them would be a good substitute. I have really reactive sensitive skin, so hadn't really considered using anything else. Maybe someone else may be able to offer suggestions? Hopefully, I'll know more about how to use the balls after my class on Tuesday. I can let you know then if there's any more useful information that may help you make a decision. Sorry I wasn't of more help. I only got the balls, thinking they would be a good complement to a facial exercise program I've just started.

If you have something that works, by all means run with it, as the Yamuna balls are definitely an investment.
