Warrior III – Yoga For Standing Balance

Here Amanda demonstrates Warrior III one of your November Five. This trains your back, your legs and the small muscles in your feet and ankles that help you balance.

 

 

You will notice she is doing this move standing on the BOSU. If you don’t have one of these at home you can challenge your balance by standing on an uneven surface like beach sand or a pillow.

 

Having balance issues? Try for one minute of this every day and see if your balance has improved by the end of the month.
