What is the secret to better balance?
Want to know where you can buy the “magic pill”???
The secret is….PRACTICE!!!!
You don’t have to roll out your yoga mat or change your clothes. You can add balance exercise into your daily life by practicing for a few minutes each day.
Try picking something up from the ground by going for it while doing Ardha Chandrasana (as pictured) or try and hold a Warrior 3 pose while you wait for your food to be heated in the microwave. The best way to practice balance is to do it throughout your day.
Balance is the first thing to go as we age, so think of practicing daily balance exercises like preventive wellness. It’s like taking a multivitamin or wearing sunscreen. Once it becomes a part of your daily routine, you’ll notice that when you do roll out your yoga mat, the balance postures in class are much easier to hold.
