Yoga confers balance. First, there’s the literal work of the balance poses, which will strengthen your lower legs and hone your proprioception so you grow more aware of where your body is in space. Yoga balance poses also teach a more subtle awareness of your body’s center of gravity in different positions, along with a finer sense of how the body works as a unit to balance.
Some principles apply in all balance poses:
Remember your alignment.
Learn Mountain Pose well, and let it inform every other posture you take. Never hyperextend your knees in Mountain or any pose.
