"Yoga is the study of balance and balance is the aim of all living creatures"
Rolf Gates…
Balances calm your mind and bring you into the present;
What's your favourite balance pose? Is it one of these;
Dancer/Natarajasana
Tree/Vrkasana
Eagle/Garudasana
Crow/Bakasana
Or something else?
The key to all balances is to to exist in the moment, focus your gaze softly on a point, feel grounded - rooted to the floor, centered, keep focusing on your point and your breath as you gently release one foot moving into your selected balance. As you arrive into your balance simply enjoy the moment... be present... be calm.
Practicing balances regularly brings peace to your mind and harmony into your life as you learn to pause amidst all the pressures; developing mindfulness.
