Description

Is your balance a little off? Are you looking for some short workouts to elevate you to balance mastery?

Join Abi Carver, expert Udemy instructor with over 90,000 students and 9000 x 5* reviews, on a journey to improve your balance, coordination and body control.

Why yoga?

In yoga we have a series of postures that are designed to perfect your balancing skills, including one-legged standing poses, arm balances and advanced twists. And because yoga is a holistic system of exercise, we also pay close attention to the breath, the integration of different muscle groups and always seek to improve our flexibility and mobility.

What also makes yoga is special is that we don't practice balance poses in isolation but sequence them together in dynamic flows. So with consistent practice, we teach ourselves functional balance that incorporates body control, accuracy of movement, coordination, agility and improves our powers of concentration.

Balance training and the brain

Balancing sequences, not only train physical skills, including stability, proprioception and coordination. They also have significant neurological benefits.

• Strengthens networks in the brain that control mental efficiency, improving concentration, focus and alertness.
• Enhances coordination, body control and agility by speeding up neuromuscular communication.
• Improves the ability of the muscles to react quickly and accurately.
• Improves the integration of sensorimotor control from visual, proprioceptive, vestibular and motor inputs.
• Demands full concentration and the dropping of extraneous thoughts which quiets the mind.
• Requires determination and perseverance which builds mental resilience.
• Increases your confidence to try more difficult poses and take on new challenges.
