Balance isn’t just about being perfectly still while standing on one leg. Balance is a part of all types of movement from walking and running to dancing and climbing stairs. It’s a skill you can learn, not a god-given talent.
This 4-week programme will help improve your balance with playfully challenging positions and movements.
You’ll learn about the role of vision and your head position, and explore progressive strength and mobility drills for your feet, knees, hips and core. You’ll be encouraged to experiment with hand balances (like Crow pose/Bakasana) that will be broken into accessible steps.
