BALANCE #1

Whenever standing statically in a safe position, (i.e. when queuing, waiting, at a desk or even brushing one’s teeth as random examples), try to balance on just one leg, starting from a length of 10secs. Swap legs & repeat. Ensure your breathing remains calm and light and look ahead not down. Naturally if in public, you can just bring the foot slightly off the ground; if at home challenge yourself by bringing it higher off the ground and/or close your eyes*. Keep increasing the length of balance for longer – i.e. add increments of 5-10 secs as deemed safely viable. (* Start with one eye closed initially, gain balance before closing both).

Benefits: Greater balance enablement, stronger core, improved dexterity of movement when under stress, reduced tension.
