Yoga is a highly rewarding activity with many benefits, both physical and emotional. However, for those just starting out, as well as for more advanced practitioners, certain poses can be challenging. This is particularly true of balance poses, in which a person places all their weight on one leg. These poses require strong muscles and focus. As students continue their yoga practices, balance poses eventually become less difficult. However, for those who struggle with them, there are a number of things to keep in mind. First of all, it’s important not to rush into a pose, an action that makes it more likely that the person will fall out of the pose. Instead, a person should move into a balance pose slowly, while remaining highly aware of the body’s movements. Once in the pose, it’s often helpful to imagine a line down the center of the body in order to help focus on alignment and create greater stability. Before bringing the arms and head into the pose, it can also help to first stabilize the lower part of the body. If balancing is still difficult, using a chair or wall for support is another possibility.
