The Basics of Balance for Yoga & Health Workshop

“In any yoga pose, two things are required: sense of direction and centre of gravity”

B.K.S. Iyengar, The Tree of Yoga

Every movement of the body creates a change in our centre of gravity and every yoga posture has its own centre of gravity. Yoga postures sharpen the nerve pathways in the ankles, knees and hips that are responsible for balance. The sensory reception mechanisms for maintaining balance originate in the brain and research has shown that balancing exercises nourish the brain and may improve cognitive function. The exercises in this workshop will challenge and educate your balance senses as well as develop the joint and muscle actions required to maintain stability in everyday activities.
