Yoga Balance

The three essential elements of balance are alignment, strength, and awareness. Alignment of the body with gravity is crucial; it makes balance physically possible. When we balance, we align our body’s center of gravity with the earth’s gravitational field.  All balancing poses can instill a deep sense of calm within ourselves. The sustained effort to center and recenter, when successful, brings many new experiences in our body and mind. These balancing poses  helps prolong our lives, helping us avoid the falls that often lead to injuries and death among the elderly. This class is open to practitioners of all levels
